I ALWAYS wanted a Toyota Prius

It is a used car; but it was maintained by one owner, free CARFAX, low mileage, clean, and GREAT gas mileage. I love driving the Toyota Prius.

Value for city driving

The best use of a Prius is for stop and go driving. The commuter with long stretches of gas engine driving isn't going to take advantage of the electric engine that makes this car unique; however you will still get the extreme comfort and ergonomics of the Toyota cockpit to support your back and legs for any trip you make long or short. Cargo space is great for this car and legroom is plentiful but can't have both passengers and cargo at the same time!

Most reliable car I've owned and I average 45 mpg!

This car exceeded my expectations, especially regarding interior room. It has been a perfect and efficient family car (family of 4 on two week car trips multiple times).

Reliable and great in snow

It has really good fuel economy and it handles surprisingly well in the snow. It is a great car for commuting. The back seat is large. The car seat for the little one was easy to get in and there is still room for two people. The trunk space is great too.

Best money I ever spent on a vehicle!

I love this vehicle for business, family, efficiency, environmental, and versatility reasons- you can almost sleep/camp in it! It goes and goes with little/no repairs, still gets 50 mpg at 10 yrs and 300,000 miles, and the interior needs that I had (Euro interior luxury trim and lumbar support for ergonomic seat improvements) I did myself from online retail venues! Not sure I am going to sell it, actually and don't care if nobody does buy it!

Most Reliable Car I've Ever Owned

I've owned this car for years, and it hasn't had any needs other than regular maintenance. Toyota has provided me with such a reliable car that I have driven all over the country! It's spacious, reliable, and the best gas mileage you'll get out of any car!
