Reliable!

Surprisingly Spacious inside with a lot of features, Toyota Prius can't be beat in reliability, and quiet ride.

Greatest Car in my Book

Purchased this car in 2009 so I have owned it for 8 years. I am 84 years old and I love this car. I have put over 134,000 miles on it as I drive it to North Carolina, to Maine, Ohio. I have osteoporosis and the driver's seat fits my back the best. It is a comfortable car to drive long distances and the ability to turn around on one turn of the wheel is most helpful. I maintain this car and hope it will continue to be companion well over 200,000 miles.

Stop spending so much on gas

The Prius isn't just for the tree huggers anymore. If you're tired of sitting at the gas pump then get yourself a Prius. The car rides nice, as pretty decent pick up and will make you not hate traffic jams as much.

It is my in between full gas and full electric car

This car is best for my to and from work, 85km a day, 4.6L/100km average. Cheap on gas, very reliable, I fit in perfectly being 6ft and half and inch tall. Visibility is great. It?s also great having a digital speedometer below the windshield in front rather than anything just behind the steering wheel, it adds a sense of openness too. Backup camera is a plus, and navigation, and it?s cool to watch the energy monitor. Good amount of trunk space, helpful on road trips. Unfortunately I live in a valley and whichever way I go I have a mountain pass to go over which tanks fuel economy, and speed will start dropping despite full throttle going up hill, it?s great going down the mountains though. I love this car and am satisfied for what it is and does.

favorite car

This was my favorite car! Only thing I didn't like was the headlights cost 200 to change. But we would still own it if it hadn't have been hit and totalled.
