the apex.

The one weak point is that there is a design defect. The exhaust manifold leading to cylinders tends to get clogged up. Must be cleaned every 60 k miles (200 dollar job) to avoid head gasket replacement. Otherwise should run forever. 250 k miles and doesn't use drop of oil. 2014 is known to be vintage year, with all kinks worked out of generation 3 - except for aforementioned. Besides being ultra reliable, the car is simply the best use of space and readily available fuel possible. Enormous cargo space with back seats down. Up, passengers have room almost equivalent to full-size sedan. Simply best car ever made. Just look out for traction battery expense. But even that can be mitigated using rebuilt batteries and independent shops.

The best car I have owned out of 29.

Vehicle does everything very well. And it is not as slow as people say it is. It has great acceleration from a light blowing away most of their cars. If you’re in to that.

Our Prius is a keeper

We bought our 14 Prius used with 10,000 miles. We did do the computer inverter upgrade, no charge at the dealership. We re Now at 106,000 miles and think we have at least another two years. We ve Shipped it to Hawaii and back,& driven coast to coast last year And our mpg is currently 41.5. As high as 50.0 on the trip. The only recurring problem is the passenger armrest has failed at the attachments.

My 2014 Prius has all the bells and whistles

Amazing upgrades. From the solar sunroof which powers the a/c on hot Oklahoma days to the heated seats when driving in freezing temperatures, this car delivers. Toyota is one of the most innovative car companies and it really is on display in this model. It took me several months to find this particular car and I’m glad I had the patience to wait until the perfect car for me was available.

Economical, clean, dependable

This car met all of our needs. Comfortable. Plenty of legroom. Rear seats fold down flat to give plenty of cargo space. Love that it has a CD player; most cars today don't!

This is the second Prius I have owned

Love these cars. Great mileage, went from Sonoma to Orange County without stopping once for gas. Bonus points for huge trunk space, I can actually transport a 36x48 canvas with ease

Most fuel efficient car ever.

Bought it used with 17K miles from original owner. Showroom condition. Just a really cool car to own and drive. $20 fills it up the tank and you get almost 500 miles out of it.
