Get great gas mileage

Great car if you drive many miles and you save a bunch of money since gas prices are so high these days. Spacious even for a compact car.

Love the Prius V

I really like my car so far. I have only had it for about 4 weeks but have already seen the savings in this car. I drive for my job. My last car got about 19 MPG. I now get about 45. I used to have to fill out 4-5 times a week. Now it around 2-3.

Stylish exterior, cheap looking interior

I have seen this body style around town, and fell in love with the red newer body style Prius. I finally went to the dealer to try one. The car they showed me was full of dings, chips, and scratches. They said they had just gotten it in, and hadn?t had a chance to condition it. I definitely don?t hold that against the car, but against the previous owner. But the thing that this made me was how cheesy looking in the interior was with shiny white plastic here and there. For a relatively expensive compact car ($23,000 used, up to $35,000 new) it is amazing that they can?t seem to make it look like it?s not a $10,000 car in the interior. I also didn?t want a black interior, especially the dash and floors, as they are too hard to keep clean. But apparently the newer body style only comes with a black dash and black carpet ( even if the rest of the interior is another color) but the vast majority are all black, except for the cheap white plastic details, and some have cheesy black and white seats. I love the car, approaching it from the outside, but would hate every moment I spent driving it because it?s so ugly on the inside.

Fuel efficient

It is a great choice. It meets my needs and expectations. It is lower than what I am use to, but not bad. My kids love it.

NO HEADROOM

HEADROOM PRIUS 1 MORE FOOT HIGHER AND 2 FEET WIDER. Longer wheelbase. Why is the back with seats down only 5 feet long? Who?s 5 feet long that drives? Not many people. NEEDS AT LEAST 1 more foot of headroom height, and two or more feet wider, on all of your vehicles.. You can make it bigger and still have the same gas mileage (or electric range), by making all wheelbases longer and wider. All vehicles should get at least 1 million miles with minimal maintenance. We drive a lot in America. Shouldn?t be penalized for it. MORE INTERIOR SPACE!! Nobody wants to live in a sardine can. Other then that lovely and Thank you. Best car on the market, except for INTERIOR SPACE HELLO?!!

dream come true!

We knew we wanted a Prius from the start for the minimal carbon footprint, and were drawn to the new model introduced in 2017 for its sleek, hip appearance. When we actually bought a brand new 2017 Prius we were surprised and delighted by the safe driving technology that takes much of the stress out of heavy traffic driving by controlling acceleration and braking to keep us moving safely even in stop and go nightmare jams. Comfortable, spacious, practical and beautiful! Just what we need.

Fourth Prius I've purchased since 2005.

Great mileage. Plenty of seat room. Trunk big enough for my golf clubs, etc. Feels like a six cylinder on the highway (good pickup). Easy to maneuver. Love the Prius!!!

Love the gas mileage

Being a person that puts a lot of miles on a car, I knew I bought the right when I only put in 10 gallons of gas after driving 625 miles. I love the new design of the exterior and interior. I?m also very impressed by the amount of cargo space it has. It certainly doesn?t have a lot of power, but it has enough, and it drives great.
