Thanks Bobby at Sunnyvale Toyota Dealership

We had been searching for a Toyota Prius for over 6 months and talked to numerous car dealerships in the Bay Area. We finally decided to go with Sunnyvale Toyota because we talked to Bobby Scott from just a random phone call to the dealership. He was an amazing person! Unlike other car salesman, he was honest and just pleasant to talk to. He was thorough in answering all our questions and we didn't feel the pressure in buying a car. We bought a Prius that same day that we meet him. Btw, their price was the cheapest in the area. Best service at the lowest price. Can't beat that!! I highly recommend Bobby Scott at Sunnyvale Toyota Dealer.

This is my 4th and best Prius

I have owned 4 Prius and this is the best. It looks great inside and out and I average almost 50MPG. It doesn't drive like a Prius.

Two weeks in and love it

I've watched the Prius from a distance for years now, always wondering if hybrid was the way to go or if I really wanted to get an electric car. Years of hashing it out and looking at the options, I started to stare down the Prius. It's historical track record was excellent, owners I knew LOVED their car, and the new design was pretty striking. My wife and I are probably in the minority in liking the new looks. When I heard 52 mpg, I was pretty much sold. The ride is excellent. Noise level is minimal - much better than the 11 year old Honda CR-V we turned in. We're not the type that NEED power in their vehicles. We want efficiency first. Very rarely are we trying to merge at 80mph. The Prius gives us that. Oh, and room? Yeah, there's plenty of that. I'm 6'2", my wife is 5'10" and our kids are 12 and 11 and above average height for their age... and there's plenty of room. My 6'4" nephew sat in back and was shocked at how much room there was. In general, it's just a great car. I hope to get another 11+ years out of this one, too!

My Second Prius

This is an excellent car! I bought the Prius 4 with the touring package (17-inch wheels) after leasing a new 2013 Prius 4. The new Prius is much more comfortable, due in part to the larger wheels, and gets better mileage. On a recent 600 mile trip I got 55.6 mph, a big improvement over the 2013 Prius. I also drove it to Florida from Long Island in December. Again, my mph were over 50. While there are a few design improvements I would like to see, overall it is one of the best cars I have ever owned. I say this after having owned two Toyota Avalons in the past.

Rust appearing all over

We are less than 2 months into our Ottawa Canada winter. There are dozens and dozens of tiny rust spots appearing all over the car - front, sides, rear, everywhere. One might expect a stone chip on the front to start rusting. But the spots are everywhere, even in protected areas where nothing could hit, chip or scratch the car. I would only recommend this car if they could do something about the surface resistance to rust.
