Toyota 's best MPG car

We had a 2008 Prius, then bought a low mileage used 2010 Prius with navigation, leather heated seats, and an upgraded stereo. Car has averaged 48 MPG over the past 24 months. No issues with the car. Has a Power button to push if you want to accelerate much faster, which really helps when merging into traffic. Very comfortable, extremely reliable, great visibility except maybe rearwards. Very pleased with the car.

2003 Prius was the only car more reliable

The car drives well and is very maneuverable and fast. The windows are a little to slanted making visibility more difficult. Need to use mirrors more. The clearance is low so one needs to be careful with dips and driveways so not to damage plastic covering the entire bottom of car.

Best car I've ever owed. Still is like new.

This is a dream to drive in-town and high-speed highway - 47 to 55 mpg. Replaced aux. battery and 2 head light bulbs in 10 years. That's IT!

Has many great features installed.

This car meets almost all of my needs, and wants, while including even more. For example, a great option to use battery when available, and is also able to manually switch to fill gas for acceleration purposes.

Excellent Reliability

It had almost 150,000 miles, and no problems, only maintenance items. Would have kept it, but it was totaled in a crash. It drove well. Kind of slow. Two reasons I replaced with a different kind of car: 1) I needed more comfortable seats. Big mistake for Toyota not to put money into the seat comfort. 2) The computer/infotainment could be more updated and offer more, not just in the 2010, but in looking for a replacement now.

Worst Toyota I ever owned and likely the last

I had a Toyota Corolla previously and a Rav4 before that, and so a long time Toyota owner since I drive my cars well past 100K when the cars will hold up which this PRIUS hardly made it to 100K and not without a lot of hassle and expense! If you google oil problems with Toyota Prius 2010, you will see a WHOLE LAUNDRY LIST of complaints. My car was always serviced by the dealer and so they had all my service history but when my car was routinely losing oil at alarming rates starting around 80K, they kept pushing me for expensive diagnostics and repairs. When I pointed out that this was a known issue and widely reported, the dealer said there was nothing they could do until Toyota did a recall. The Toyota Corolla had some mysterious electronic issues that the dealer couldn't resolve either and so after 2 times of bad Toyota cars, I went to KIA and not looking back! Toyota quality is going to pot!
