Great car for commuting

For the price it is an excellent car. Perfect for commuting, especially in urban areas. Bluetooth is great, along with sound system. Acceleration is decent but then again it is a hybrid. Typically 38-44 mpg.

Love the Gas miles plus fun to drive!

I bought my 2010 Prius new and it is now 8 years old and has 170,000 miles. The car has been great with only the typical maintence needed. I love the gas mileage and would never get anything but a hybrid from now on. The only thing I miss in this car is heated seats -- my next Prius will have heated seats!

I thought this was my ideal car ! Hmmmmm

I really like the car, the dealers are the problem . I get an insurance discount for driving less than 7500 miles a year , but all of a sudden the service department says I need to drive 15000-25000 a year . I read all the manuals and didn't find this clause anywhere ?!?! You better buy from a dealer that you trust !

I spend so much less on gas

Comfortable & reliable. Backup camera, radio Bluetooth, & Navigation make it perfect. All my future cars will be Prius.

best car for your money

This car is probably the best car you can get for your hard earned money. This vehicle will run and drive practically forever. I have had minimal maintenance needed owning this vehicle if any. Oil change and brake pads are almost non-existence on this vehicle as it's barely used and the regenerative braking system would recharge your hybrid battery on the go as you slow your vehicle down. Toyota has done everything right with this version. when you need power, push the power mode and you're zooming through traffic. When you're not in a hurry, hit the ECO button and you're heading on a road to 50mpg saving the earth driving which still moving you through traffic with ease. There's also the battery only mode if you're only going down the street for a quickie or something. Visibility is also amazing with minimum blind spots if any. I would buy this car again in a heart beat.

Excellent for in town driving

Very well designed especially on Bluetooth and navigation. Has set the standard for Toyota and others to build more fuel efficient cars.

I love my Prius!

First off, for a small car it has SO much room! The gas mileage is crazy (51mpg) and you have to change the oil LESS often with a hybrid. Love it!

Best car I have ever owned!

This car is reliable, has a low operating cost, is good for the environment, and I love driving it. We have owned several cars, and some cars are just different. The Toyota Prius is one of those cars. It is unique in that it is more than simply a car, it is an expression of the driver.

Best car we've owned

This car is great on gas mileage, despite the government's attempts to ruin it by using ethonyal. It is roomier than it seems, especially with being able to use the whole back of the car. It is very comfortable as a driver too, for long periods of driving time. Slow on rainy roads though because the traction is not too good. I would trade in for another Prius though, if we wanted a new car.
