    My previous car was a 2014 Prius.

    My previous car was a 2014 Prius. The 2018 has added safety features which are very valuable, & has even better mileage, and a very smooth drive --handles well. However, there is less trunk & glove box space, & it is more complicated to work some of the features, such as setting the clock. On the 2014, all I had to do was press the hr & min buttons. On the 2018, I had to watch a youtube a few times, & then it took me a few tries to reset the clock.

    2018 prius 4, my a/c stopped working, dealer charges $150

    2018 prius 4, my a/c stopped working, dealer charges $150 fee, then tells me the compressor is not working, new one $1200 w/o installation. A month later my heat stops, again diagnostic test $150, bad news coolant level low, kkand leking internally to the catalytic converter. To fix with labor $2,229.85. I did not get either fixed at this point. Purch for $24k,500 12/12/19 car had 3,549 miles. Spent $3,017.95 maint and have 89,056 miles on now. Never thought I would get a lemon with the 4th gen hybreed

    Another satisfied Prius owner

    With over 65K miles on my 208 Prius, I'm getting 52 mpg over the life of the car. No major mechanical problems. I recently replaced the battery (the regular one), which I expected. The original tires had to be replaced at about 25K, which was surprising to me I hadn't realized carmakers deliberately put cheap tires on their new vehicles to keep the sticker price down. I've gotten used to the retro black-and-white dashboard, but the white color does reduce cabin heat in the summer, I suppose. Overall, I'm happy with the car because of its excellent gas mileages and overall reliability. i plan to keep it until a repair would cost than the car is worth.

    This car is not only good on gas. It’s super fun to drive! Only bad thing is the sensors when your in Drive through go Off. It’s annoying.

    My third Toyota

    My wife wanted a Prius because of the gas milage and out experience with Toyotas. This car is like a space ship inside and out. It is a great car for getting around in. It won't turn a lot of heads but you will feel safe and it's a Toyota. Which means it is reliable.

    Amazing gas mileage with all the bells and whistle

    This car so far meets all of my needs. The trunk space is limited since it's a hatchback but that's fine. Comes with Leatherette bucket seats making it cool and comfortable during hot months. Great gas mileage. I can travel from a different state and not make a dent in my gas usage. Fun to zip around in. Great pick up even on ECO mode and has sensors that help so much with busy roads. Parking assist is a sweet touch. GPS works pretty well although they cant tell you police activity. Sound is awesome! And it looks super sporty. Love it. Best purchase yet.

    Consist great gas mileage. Passengers are always surprised how roomy it seems inside. Extra safety features saved me money in insurance. Quiet. Dependable. I like that it makes a statement about how important environmental and economic concerns can come together.
