Best car I've owned

This is my 4th Toyota and love my 2016 Prius Two Eco in pearl white. Just hit 30k miles and averaging 65.7 miles a gallon even after a 2k mile mostly highway trip from Miami to Atlanta. Highway milage is well over 50 per gallon. So easy to drive, handles great, looks great, keyless entry, plenty of room, amazing mpg and paid only 25k all in out the door with new tag. Battery has a 10 year 100 mile warranty. Love it!

Most reliable car I've owned!

This car has amazed me with gas mileage. I average 55mpg! The style of the car always attracts people asking questions & giving compliments. I say go green! You do not compromise speed as this car is peppy!

Love the gas mileage

This is a Prius 3 with advanced technology package. I'm now retired and most of my driving is around town, visiting out-of-town family and vacation trips. Gas mileage is great and while not the most powerful car, it is sufficient for my needs. I used to have 4-wheel drive in my previous cars but so far winter driving has been fine (with good snow tires). Biggest complaints are few interior storage options, small trunk and low front end. Latter is for improved aerodynamics but tends to scrape curbs when parking. Safety options are helpful and dashboard design works well. Smooth ride and fun to drive.

Most economical and delicious driving

Feels like a sports car and can save gas like the flintstones car. Has 3 different kinds of driving levels and can go over 500 miles on a full tank. I love this car! had to sell it for economical reason but will buy it back when I have the chance.

Don't need to visit gas stations very often.

Fun to drive & all the bells & whistles of a 2016 vehicle! I enjoy driving this car & we take it on trips!

Car Perfection

Probably the best designed and most reliable car of my 60 years of driving. Love it and would get another.

Prius Rocks

We have leased a 2010 P3, a 2013 P3 and a 2016 Touring. The 2013 was the best overall. The 2016 is a more rigid platform, handles better and gets better mileage. We rarely go under 50mpg and that is definitely without trying to conserve. We put 45k on the first two and expect to do the same with this one.

Great fuel efficiency

This is my first hybrid car and it meets expectations. It has great fuel efficiency and has different drive modes for driving needs. I primarily use Eco mode and can wait almost three weeks before I need to refuel and great for the HOV lane. I get compliments on the color of the car and the interior design. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend to friends.

I average 55.9 MPG's

This is a great commuter car. It drive much better than previous Prius, I owned 3 others. It doesn't drive like a Prius, and the new styling is sporty. You can drive in the ECO mode or chose a Sporty mode. If you use the mileage monitor you can learn to maximize your mileage. It becomes a game seeing how many MPG's you can get. Mine has all the new safety features, which I recommend if you can afford it. Frankly, I don't see how you can't afford safety features. I always laugh when I fill up my Prius. I have never had an issue with any of the Prius I have owned. Cost of ownership is very low.
