Excellent car if you drive lots

I really enjoy this car because it was designed to commute and it does just that excellently. It handles well and gets absolutely fabulous mpg. It is super reliable and comfortable. Sound system is grand as well and there is lots of space for y?all people and stuff for a car. Overall would 100% recommend!

Loving my new prius

I really love the seagrass color and get a lot of compliments. Also love the durable on the floor and back hatchway. My kids and I are looking forward to our first road trip. Saving money for our vacation and not spending it on gas.

Like New inside and out

This car has met all my needs. The gas mileage is fantastic in the city and on the highway, its roomy inside, front and rear. It has had no mechanical problems and has been meticulously maintained.

Good dependable and economical vehicle

This Prius v has ample room and handles well on the open road as well as in town, The hatchback is roomy and with fold down rear seats you can haul longer than normal things

Two Prius?s And Going Strong

Our second Prius is as good as the first, which has been running the roads since 2006. It?s the perfect car. We even took a 10,000 mike trip in it with another couple with no space concerns. Wh n our current 2012 starts to have issues (IF it ever does), there will be another in our future. The gasoline savings paid for both of them, so in a sense, we driv for free!

Glad I owned it

I bought it for the gas mileage and we certainly appreciated that. But the car was reliable, smooth, powerful enough and had surprising storage space in back. We didn't like the front console and thought the car was a bit noisy, but we really enjoyed having it.

No room for improvement

Smartest purchase we?ve ever made, due to the rediculously low gas bill. It literally paid for itself, and we were recently retired and on fixed income, so it was a life-changer on our budget.
