Happy Prius Club Member

This car met all of my needs: body style, storage capability, comfort, fuel economy and price. I have wanted a Prius for several years, and I was happy to find one I could afford.

Very nice for smaller car

We were pleasantly surprised in the comfort and driveability of our Prius. It is quiet, features all work well and gas mileage averages around45mpg...over 50mpg in summer. We will buy another Prius when it's time.

Great MPG at a reasonable price

Pick up is a bit sluggish and the rear wiper is too small, but virtually everything else is fine. And the MPG is outstanding, even in cold Northern winters. The best 10 mile trip MPG I've gotten is 82.2, early rush hour, level road, mostly stop-and-go in mid-July. But typically I get 53-62 MPG. About 48 at interstate speeds.

Very Good Car

The Prius C is the best car for the value on the market, hands down. It is stylish, technologically savvy, a gas saver hybrid, and of course has the guarantee of the Toyota brand.

Very fun car to drive.

The car is comfortable to ride in. It is very small but that increases your driving ability to control.

Pretty cool little car!

I had a Prius C for a good 3 months before a massive truck came blundering through the intersection and turned my pretty little Prius into a poof of styrofoam and broken dreams. My wife and I got out without a scratch. The car was totaled, so meh. Never thought that you could do 13,000 worth of damage to styrofoam. I loved it while I had it though! Great gas mileage. I am a working musician and was able to haul speakers, guitars, amps, etc in the back with no issue. The Bluetooth connection to my phone was nice. I listened to a lot of audio books when I had that car. Now I drive a massive truck that blunders through intersections scaring little Priuses. I don't plan on hitting any though.

I <3 my Prius !

Excellent, reliable and cute! This car was a little expensive compared to cars of similar stats, however worth every penny. If you are into speed and performance, then this car is not for you. If you want to get there with out spending a lot on gas, or upkeep this is a good choice. Not a lot of room in the hatch either, so if you carry lots , then might want a larger cargo.

Reliable Car but Poor Performance

This car was amazing for gas mileage, but in terms of performance, the car did very poorly. When going up hills, you can hear the engine struggling and the lack of power in the car. If you take it off Eco mode, it is not as bad to drive. The brakes are also a little slow in responding so be careful when driving in rush hour traffic.

Just bought it and already loving it!

I just purchased this car from Matt Sadler at Cleveland Motorcars and it perfectly fits all my needs. I drive 45 mins/1 hr to work every day, so I've been looking for something with great gas mileage that's also cute, feminine, and modern. I'm looking forward to getting a lot of mileage out of this vehicle and I can't wait to drive it everyday!
