What a great car!

This is my second Prius and i can't believe the improvements. It rides better; has way more technical features; and seems to be getting even better mileage

If sized for a short person, it would be fine.

Excellent fuel economy and value for the price. However, adjustments in height cannot be done completely for a short person and still reach the pedals without having a steering wheel hit your belly. One size does not fit all, so Toyota should make more adjustment settings. Also, the shifter is too small and not easy to move into neutral. Overall, if I was 5' 6" tall, the Prius would be ideal.

Replaced a 2010 Prius after an accident.

We love our Prius. Know several people who claimed their Prius saved their lives in an auto accident and we feel the same way. Promptly replaced our 2010 with a 2017. 57 mpg and excellent safety features.

Gotta love a Prius

This is my third Prius not because they don't last but because I love the always improving higher MPG and technology gadgets. This one seems a little lower to the ground than the last one, and I made sure I got a spare tire this time. The last one didn't come with a spare tire! Overall, I love it.

This is my fourth Prius. That should say it all.

I have loved all my Piruses. I purchased them all new. They are quite roomy for a smaller car. Even my six foot husband had no trouble driving this car or sitting in the passenger seat. The gas mileage can't be beat. Why would I pay the same money for a car that get 35 mpg when I can always get at least 50 mpg and my new Pirus gave me 60 mpg on my first tank. Before buying this one I twice test drove the Lexus CT. The handling in the Prius is better and the road noise was no better in the Lexus CT. Why should I pay more just to get the Lexus name when I get a better car in the Prius.

Super modern styling and enjoyable technology.

This car looks great and drives well in both city and highway. I especially like the safety features and the radar cruise control. Unfortunately I find the bucket seats uncomfortable. The interior has lots of space for passengers and cargo.

More economical than I dreamed...

Bought the Prius for economy and reliability. It's even more economical than I thought--55 mpg. And it's fun to drive...great acceleration even at high speed highway driving.

Proud owner

Our Prius IV Touring Car is everything that we were looking for and more. It fit our quest for a hybrid with great safety features and comfort. On top of that it is so great looking. And I love being able see outside the car so well. The technology that came with what we required was just an exciting bonus. We are very happy with this Prius!

My 2017 Toyota Prius Three

The windows were filthy and the Remote Start that was installed does not have the correct instruction booklet. Just filling in extra space so that the Minimum is reached.

Great Car - Amazing mileage

Car drives really well, gets incredible gas mileage, has all the comfort and tech features you could want. The only draw back is that this model lost a lot of storage space around the driver that is easily accessible while driving - enough cup-holders, etc.
