Very reliable vehicle for commuting long distance. MPG is awesome, currently 51.5 average. Comfortable many safety features, autonomous cruise control works going downhill, uphill and on flat surfaces and in stop and go traffic. Best commuter car we have owned.

Most reliable car.

This car meet all my needs. Really really good on gas mileage, easy to drive and silence. I think it is the best car for the city and freeway.

Safe and Eco-friendly

The Prius is wonderfully quiet and energy efficient. The hands-free features are great. I love being able to pair devices via Bluetooth and use my Ipod via the USB. The one complaint I have is that no matter how I adjust the driver seat, the head restraint forces my head forward and gives me backaches. I had the same problem with my 2009 Rav4 and wound up turning the head restraint in both cars around. Not the best solution as the way the head restraint is meant to be used is to prevent whiplash in the event of a collision. I still think it will be of some use if I am in an accident. Thankfully, most of the driving controls are in the same place as in my Rav4. There are two manuals for this car because there is so much to learn about it. Toyota USA also has some helpful videos on youtube.

Love my Prius

This is my first Prius, and will not be my last. I love it sporty look in the savings that I see in my gas bill. To be a small car I am pleasantly surprised with all of the room that I have.

This is the second Prius I’ve Owned

Love, love, love my Prius. My last one I had for 12 years and it ran great. Unfortunately I started having front headlight problems which caused me angst. I figured it was time to buy a new one so rather than dealing with this older technology, I bought a brand new Prius. And I have been very pleased with it. Sure, I had to get used to some of the quirks but who reads the manual start to finish anyway?

Over 50 mpg in comfort

This is an amazing car. I take this car to the beach, an 88 mile trip. If the weather is good, and the roads are dry it gets 62 mpg. There are 3 power modes, Eco, Normal, and Power. I usually keep it in Eco. When I am entering a freeway I push the Power mode and it really moves. No, Really.

Lifetime Toyota and Lexus lover

Dependable and sporty, with all the upgrades I love! My first car was a Toyota and I’ve also had Lexus’s. The only cars I’ll ever buy because I know I can depend on them!

Reliable and great on mileage

My second Prius. The car is fairly comfortable, but I don’t find it as comfortable as the 2007 model. The car is a bit shorter and the seat isn’t as comfortable. Despite this I enjoy driving the car and get great gas mileage, especially during the summer.

Prius continue to impress

This is my 2nd prius, my other is a 2012 and I cannot say enough good things about these cars. Super reliable and great efficiency with very low maintenance costs. My 2012 has 147k miles with zero issues and this 4th gen feels vastly better all around. I?m avg 61mpg at 17k miles so I?m really impressed with the improvements plus this one has a sunroof. As usual the exterior is polarizing but I didn?t buy it for looks.
