Prius' not just for Grandma

I am just amazed with advancement in technology. The 2017 Prius Touring 3 is a beautiful and the technology that makes the car run is absolutely incredible. You can look up all the specs online, but I'd definitely recommend that you go check one out in person. I wanted this car for my work commute and I could not be happier--54 miles to the gallon !

Great Prius to Replace PriusC

After 4 years cramped in a Prius C, we are very pleased with the space for legs and luggage and our little terrier. We are delighted with the safety features and power (we're comparing to the Prius C, not a Charger). Looking forward to years of fun.

Very good car

This model represents considerable improvement from my previous 2015 model that was destroyed in an accident. I am a little concerned about the longevity of the appearance of the light grey cloth upholstery, and the somewhat quirky exterior lines but overall, I like the car a lot. Also 52.8 real MPGs isn't bad at all.

Best Toyota I?ve Owned

And I?ve owned them since the late `70?s. I commute 140 miles a day, So economy, safety, and comfort are my hot buttons - Now granted, this is a Prius, OK? Mine is a model IV, so it?s got most of the bells and whistles. If I need serious performance, I?ll drive the Beemer - That said, I consistently achieve 50+ mpg on the highway, and the technology suite/safety features are top notch. Add to that the new interior, and I?m a happy camper - The seats are great, super comfortable. The control systems and displays are a huge cut above the `12 Prius C I traded in, as is the general comfort, handling, power, quietness - OK, pretty much everything, actually. Performance is actually quite good - I love the Eco, Normal, and Power options, and for what it is, this little thing will scoot pretty well in power mode, and mileage doesn?t suffer that much. It?s interesting to see how the drive system has improved as well - It?ll run on spirits of battery and electric motor, even at highway speed, which speaks to the overall better efficiency and mileage than my C had. It?s a roomy, comfortable interior for four adults, with great cargo room in the trunk, and of course, with seats fo,died down, you can stuff quite a bit in back there. The JBL stereo system is fantastic - Really nice audio quality and flexibility, and the system meshes well with my iPhone as well. Are there any things I?d change/fix? Yeah, although they?re nitpicking for sure - self dimming side mirrors, a genuine audio mute button, and the front passenger seat as adjustable as the drivers side would about do it for me. Well worth my hard earned money!

It' a Prius! Enough said.

This is my third Prius. It' a good, reliable, fuel-efficient vehicle. It has more technological bells and whistles than my previous Prius, but it gets even better mileage. I am not overly fond of the exterior styling ... a few too many angles. I also think the interior is too "plasticy". It looks a little cheap to me. I also don't like the top of the console covered in fabric. I figure a few bare arms on that in summer is going to make it sort of slick and greasy. Overall though, it is a pretty nice car and I am sure it will be reliable and inexpensive to operate.

Enjoy the gas mileage

So far my new Prius has been great! I only have a few hundred miles on it but the gas mileage is great, it is quite comfortable, and has all the bells and whistles currently available!
