Awesome car

I have a 2013 Prius. It has 129k on it. This is by far the most reliable & efficient vehicle. I had only had to change the oil & that is it. It regularly gets approximately 55/60 MPG. I absolutely love this vehicle & would not hesitate to get another Prius.

Beautiful with pick up

I’ve had a Prius 2nd gen for 6 years. I’m happy I finally moved to 3rd gen because it has eco mode and power mode. I’m glad it does because sometimes you’re on a highway and need to move and it’s actually smooth.

Best car I have ever owned

This vehicle gets great gas mileage. Drives like new after 150,000. Not for speedsters, great for a 25 yo like me looking to save gas and drive safe! Lots of trunk space especially with folded seats! Cool accessories. Bought mine for 6500-7000 range. Totally worth it.

Great car

We were looking for a used car for our son. It had low mileage, very well maintained and economical. The Prius was a great option for a first car. It handles really well and very safe. My son absolutely loves it!

We even camped in it!

The MPG for a Prius is always good, and that was the biggest draw for us: using less fuel. It was comfortable driving to and from work, and a great help when we had to drive to the midwest to move our parents. We even spent a couple nights sleeping out in it instead of our tent, and it was surprisingly comfortable (we're not tall people). The only thing that made us decide to sell it was that our family has changed, and we have to spend more time driving in the mountains. This Prius was not cut out to be a mountain car. Visibility out the back is okay for me, but spouse found it challenging.

Poor quality vehicle and lousy hybrid warranty

I just finished having to put a $3258 hybrid battery into a seven year old Prius. This is totally unacceptable. My car has 156,000 miles on it but is in great condition. Then the battery goes bad. What kind of high quality product does Toyota build if owning it costs me MORE than owning a regular gas powered car. I am now almost $1200 BEHIND based on MPG versus if I had a regular gas powered car PLUS Toyota claims to make good quality products. The dealer, regional manager and their "customer care" department could or would not do anything to help me on this repair because my car was "out of warranty." The warranty stinks. 100,000 miles is a joke. The car should have an eight year UNLIMITED mile warranty on the hybrid system. This is the third Prius I have owned. The last two gave me big trouble. I will no longer own a Prius or even a TOYOTA PRODUCT.

Most reliable car I have owned

Love the whole thing, it’s user friendly and economical. Love the leather seats and MPG. Toyota engine is the best. Would recommend. I know this car will last me for years to come
