Thought I'd never drive a Prius!

After years of saying I'd never drive a Prius, I'm driving a Prius. The gas mileage is insane!!! I drive over 90 miles so far and it still has the full tank that I left the dealership with. Drives smooth. Plenty of room for a tall guy like myself. And the body shape is way better than the old models. Love it!

Passing Gas Stations

This car is comfortable, sporty and very efficient. I drove 100 miles a day and only have to stop for 10 gallons of gas once a week. Comfortable drivers seat.

Love my Prius

I love my Prius. I love how it looks inside and out. I really love the gas mileage. For some reason, some people think the Prius is a small car with no power. Those people are wrong. Test one Prius and you'll be hooked.

comfortable, reliable, and economical

I've owned 2 other priuses and have been fully satisfied with each one, but the 2017 is the best so far. The gas mieage is fantastic (better than the EPA rating), it's comfortable, and I'm still getting used to all the safety features. It will never win a drag race, of course, but it's zippy enough to get me on the freeway without turning my knuckles white and I have to remember to back off the pedal before I hit 80. It doesn't have the "Wow" factor of cars like the Mustang, Porsche, or Tesla but at this point in life I only have to impress me. I'm happy with the car and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good, reliable, economical auto that can handle itself.

Retired Railroader

Great so far. Expect great ride for a long time. Check out salesman Jeremy Nelson at Reliable Toyota, Springfield, Mo. He will treat you right.

A car drivers dream

Drives like a performance car but getting well over 50 mpg. Very comfortable and roomy - well engineered for comfort and ease of driving. The safety features that monitor proximity to traffic work well and are helpful. Great sound system too, with easy bluetooth connecting.

Who knew driving could be so much fun!

I treated myself to the new Toyota Prius Two. I didn't up grade for any extras but don't really need to. Toyota has made many of the features standard. I'm getting 56. 3 mpg and find it a lot of fun trying to see just how far I can go to better that score. The Prius makes it easy with it's computerized monitors for all of the car stats. I love the Hipersonic red and feel I've picked a winner. Can't wait to take it on a long trip somewhere.

Our 2nd Prius

We were not sure initially how much we would love our Prius. Although some of our friend would make fun of us (truck people) - we LOVED it! Our 50-55 mph can't touch the larger vehicles, comfort for long trips and overall conveniences helped us return to purchase our second Prius in 2017. We love the redesign and all of the improvements.

Do you like saving money on gas?

Then this is the car for you! Smooth ride, easy handling. Great on gas and it actually has good pick-up in power mode if you need. 950 km's a tank of gas that costs maybe $35.00. Gas costs reduced by 2 1/3's.
