2017 Toyota Prius Prime consumer reviews

The new Prius Prime Advanced has all the safety bells and whistles available, amazing mileage, much quieter than my 2010 Prius Five, better ride and connectivity. The new, huge display is wonderful and the heads-up display with adaptive CC is superb. The only drawback is the lack of a spare and a bit of compromise in rear storage. With rebates and tax credits it is actually less expensive than a non-plug in model. I typically run over 1500 miles per tank since my driving is usually limited to about 35 miles, which is the range of the plug-in charge. Night electric rates are REALLY inexpensive, and the car is set to charge beginning at 11 PM, which it does with great joy. LOTS of kick from the electric motor too!

I like the Prius Prime, especially the technology. But for a family, it's a bit too small. Cargo space is extremely limited, even compared to the regular Prius. If used strictly as a commuter car, the space would be largely irrelevant, but there's hardly even enough space for an overnight trip for a family of three.

The car is a pleasure to drive. I love the MPG and all the safety features. I am up to 87 miles per gallon with daily charging. Can't believe it.

I have driven this vehicle for about six weeks and it's met my expectations. The fuel economy is amazing; I so far have garnered about 98 MPG with a combination of half EV and half gas driving commuting sixty miles round-trip to and from work five times a week. The advertised 24 miles of electric range is conservative; I've gone as much as 31 miles. The styling, in my subjective opinion, is beautiful, and vastly improves the frumpy styling of past Priuses, even the new generation. The fact that I will be getting a $4,502 tax credit next year due to this vehicle being a "green" car further extends the awesome value of this vehicle as a whole. The thought of plugging in the car every night at first seemed like such a burden, but after a few charges it has become a routine activity that takes about a minute each time; the reward of pure electric power is enough for me to anticipate the release of the plug every time I do it!

I have only had my car for a few weeks. Compared to my 2007 Prius Touring my Advanced is more comfortable to drive, seating is more adjustable. It has heated seats and steering wheel will be nice in winter. The auto alert features take some getting used to, but do make it very safe. Really nice if you live where there are a lot of bicyclist. On the freeway the car pretty much drives itself. It keeps the proper distance from the car in front. This car is as close as you can get to a self driving as you can presently get. I have only used 1/4 tank of gas so far, the electric charge does fine for daily chores and work. This should get me to the grave with miles to spare!

GREAT GAS MILEAGE, THE VEHICLES SAFETY FEATURES ARE STANDARD. FINDING ELECTRIC STATIONS MAY BE A PROBLEM. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

{don't tell anyone but we are getting more miles per charge than stated at the dealer or in the manual} other than being a little low to the ground making it slightly more work getting in and out {at 75 yrs old} we absolutely love it and are adding extras to it ie: clear doorcups to protect behind the door handles - from scratches thru the yrs, etc. the rebates from the state and eventually from the govt. at tax time, make it a no brainer to buy this rather than the wonderful hybrid we've owned in the past.

One of the best cars I've owned Perfect for today's driving Handles great - much improved over previous Toyota Prius Advanced is the way to go

This is my fourth Prius, but the first that is a plug-in. This car is amazing. It is comfortable, stylish and fun to drive. I?m currently getting about 140 mpg. I do have access to free charging at my workplace which makes it even that much more appealing.

Fun to watch the (lack of) movement of the gas gauge. Most of my trips are within the car's EV range. Have driven about 600 miles thus far and estimate I have used about a gallon of gas. Lots of safety bells and whistles (parks itself, has a blind spot monitor, dynamic radar cruise control, etc.) Down side: No rear windshield wiper, which affects visibility out the back window, and not a lot of luggage space.
