Not Reliable

This car has just over 60,000 miles and has an oil leak. I was told by the dealer that it would cost $2,500 to fix. Expected better when I bought the car.

This Toyota Prius is amazing!

This is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned in my life. The Prius came highly recommended by the staff and I could not be happier with the gas mileage and reliability. You really get a sense of security when buying a Toyota!!!

Cant believe the gas mileage .

Car gives a very comfortable ride. And is economical. We are getting 45 miles to the gallon. For a used vehicle it has very little flaws almost looks brand new!

Most reliable and gas saving car I've ever owned

this car met all of my needs, it has 3 USB ports which is great for kids to use their devices. I enjoy the savings at the gas line, I giggle every time I fill up.

Outstanding car in every way.

What's not to like for a hybrid? Nice styling with surprising comfort, very safe and extremely reliable. Great gas mileage. Lots of interior features with Nav, XM radio, rear camera, steering wheel controls, etc. Low maintenance costs. Hybrid batteries last a lifetime and breaks last nearly forever. Handles exceptionally well at high speeds on highways. I could go on...

Wonder why I waited so long to buy a Prius!

The driving experience took a little getting used to, but I really enjoy driving this car. The family also has plenty of room and comfort. Good cargo capacity for a car this size, as the rear seats fold down flat. Also.....did I mention over 50 miles per gallon! You owe to yourself to try one and see!
