Repairs Needed Within One Month of Purchase

There were issues with the brakes, tire and windshield. Some repaired have still not been satisfied. I have returned to the dealership four times for the brakes alone. I went back again for the tire and windshield damage, and my salesman told me HE had to pay for HIS windshield damage out of his pocket. This discussion was about my repairs, not his.

Most reliable and economical car I have ever had

This car is basic, but has everything needed for a driver's comfort. Excellent mileage, nice ride and handling, maneuverability, minimum of maintenance, reliable. Very economical and saves you money.

Toyota quality & reliability is second to none

This car rides & drives effortlessly and gets nearly 60 mpg. While most drivers you see in a Prius just poke along real slow this car can & will do 112 mph. Not many cars can travel 600 miles on 12 gallons of regular grade gas. There's no gear shifting as in normal cars and the transmission only has 14 parts & no reverse gear. (electric motor)

Great reliability and gas mileage

Pros: gas mileage, reliability, resale value, gas mileage (yes I know I put it twice) Cons: tight fit for bigger people, blindspots, not as intuitive as some vehicles with setup and electronics

We’ve owned 6 Prius cars- what does that say?

We will just keep buying Prius. Totaled 2 of them. First time with 4 kids in it and all walked away without a scratch. Second one it was deer vs. Prius and though the car was totaled Prius still won cuz I walked away without a scratch. I mean there’s mpg, interior huge despite such a compact look. People scoff at the Prius. I say you must not have ever driven one then.

Bought and sold

This is the fourth transaction that I have had using cars.com and each has been successful, patience is important when shopping or selling a vehicle. Look carefully at the data presented and check and double check then use your intuition if the seller is responsible and trustworthy. Also if you can have the vehicle checked out by a mechanic.

The only reliable car I owned.

Love everything about the car except the seat heater doesn't turn off when it gets too hot. It must not have a heat regulator and burns if I don't turn it off.

I loved the Prius

If I didn't live on gravel roads that get pretty rugged in the winter I would never have switched from a Prius except maybe to go to a plug-in. I gave comfort a 4 of 5 because you do have to kind of shoe-horn yourself in as it so low. Never had any kind of trouble with the hybrid system except when I think my granddaughter started to fill it with diesel. Don't do that. Gas engines don't like diesel AT ALL. I think a very large person might have trouble fitting in the Prius. It's surprising how many items will fit in one. I have carried fairly large boxes like TV's, even some lumber supplies. If you're one of these kooks who thinks it's unAmerican to not burn huge amounts of gasoline then a Prius would not be for you. Quite normal to get 45-48 mpg and still be quite comfortable.
