Most reliable and fuel efficient car that I Owned

Excellent as a daily commute. Very smooth drive on road. Drives comfortable up to 85 mph. Very reliable. I never had to purchase AAA membership because this is a car that never needs towing like ever!

Most Reliable Car I've Ever Owned

This car met all my needs and more. Excellent gas mileage, heated seats, 5-star safety, comfortable to drive! The vehicle holds enough storage, similar to a hatchback. The back seats fold down easily, and the interior is virtually stain proof.

Great gas mileage, surprising ride quality.

Unfortunately, when slowing from about 20 to 0mph, I'm getting a clicking around the front drivers wheel, when slightly turning to the right. This is occurring during decel only. I suspect it's related to the CV joint. It's a well documented issue on Prius, most folks just leave it as-is and it usually is fine for many miles. Fairly quiet click. Super gas mileage. 46mph driving all around, short trips. Driving around looking at homes in the city & rural area we're getting more around 56mph. It's a beast for mph. Super smooth ride for such a small car! Perhaps the result of soft suspension and much heavier than typical for footprint (batteries). Back storage area is decent sized. With all seats available, we still fit 6 large bags of wood mulch. Happy with the car so far. A good balance to my F350 diesel Dually quad cab truck!

Most reliable and valued car I have ever owned

Great on gas mileage, no problem in snow with proper snow tires. Has plenty of room for the passengers and your stuff in the trunk.

My second Prius; I love this car!

Due to the batteries in this hybrid the car is roomier inside than a non hybrid. It has amazing pick up. It has been so reliable it has needed no repairs other than the required recommended mileage and oil changes. All service records are available. The color is cool. The bluetooth feature means you can connect anything via your phone. Hands free integrated phone and speaker is wonderful. JBL speakers. The hatchback with seats flat (or not) provides PLENTY of carrying capacity.

Not complaints!!

I absolutely love my car. I drive a lot... about 750 miles or more a week for work. With my Prius I’m getting around 52 mpg!!! When it comes time for a new car, I’m sticking with a Prius.

Amazing!

The car met my needs of getting great miles per gallon (average so far has been about 54 mpg!), being reliable, and is still big enough to transport luggage and other things I need when I travel across the country for the summer. I'm really happy!

Very reliable car

I bought this car new in 2013. Currently has 130k miles and still runs like new. Car is comfortable, has great pick-up for a hybrid and does not lack in power. Great, easy to use tech. My family members are now driving these cars due to great gas mileage, comfort and great performance.
