2017 Toyota Prius Prime consumer reviews

So many amazing high tech features it really needs to be appreciated by an Engineer. Love the big screen, love the HUD, love having 2 real seats in the back without trying to shoehorn in a 3rd. Did I say I love the look, both inside and out. But you do need the center console applique package to get rid of the urinal look. Easy to install if you are handy.

The most comfortable car I have ever had and that is many! I feel very safe in it, all the controls are easy to maneuver right in front of me. I love the styling and color. Everything about this car is perfect!!!!!!

I've now owned the Prius Prime Premium for a month and I have to say it has exceeded my expectations. It was a gamble ordering a car I had never seen in person, however I have been happy with all of the things that I had worried about before its arrival. Examples of my worries, interior space, I'm short (5 ft. 2 in.) and my husband is tall (6 ft. 3 in.) and were we both going to be comfortable? The answer is yes, my husband fits well in both the front and the back seat and my two teenagers are also comfortable in the back seat as well. The seats are comfortable, the controls are easy to use and the air conditioning works well as well, even in Eco mode. The trunk space is smaller than a normal Prius, but i have still gone to Costco and grocery shopping as well. The true reason I purchased the car though was the gas mileage and it truly has lived up to what was advertised. I charge the car at night and I commute 30 miles each way to and from work and drive all around carpooling kids after work and I drove 1200 miles on the first tank of gas. I actually didn't even use the entire tank of gas, but with a new car I didn't know how long it would go low on gas, so I refilled and it only ended up being 9 gallons of gas to refill. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase!

Replaced 2010 Prius with 3017 Prius Prime Premium and very satisfied overall. Getting 200 mpg for our driving patterns and 25-30 miles in EV mode. Truly a car of the future. Much better drive than old Prius with a $4,500 rebate makes it a good value. Purchased it in N.J. avoiding conveyance fees and dealer costs in surrounding States.

I've owned this car for less than a week but I love it. I know lots of people think this is an ugly car but I really like the look. I got it in blue magnetism and it really stands out. So far the drive is quiet and it's more powerful than my old Camry

I currently own a 2009 Prius (which is the most reliable car I've ever owned) and as somone looking to get a new car the new Prius prime has more than peaked my interest. Mostly everything about the car is great! It's definitely a lot more fun to drive than previous Prius models and it also comes with a lot more bells and whistles. However it has a few flaws. As a Prius owner already I expect to have 5 seats not 4. I also expect to have the same amount of cargo space as I already have and not less. It would also be nice to pair apple or android car systems with such an awesomely large screen as the prime has similar to the screen newer Volvos have. All and all I'm waiting to see what a future Prius prime may have to offer, but who knows how long that may take. If only there was a Prius with awd, 5 seats, cargo space, a media platform that paired well with your cell phone, along with air suspension, and 55+ mpgs with an awesome battery to charge. Toyota would probably have the best selling car in America if not the world. Until that's all a reality prime really is a great option despite its pitfalls, especially with the savings from tax credits. It should be a serious consideration if you want a new Prius that feels more premium, and gets insanely great mileage, paired with the Prius brands already infamous reliability.

I have had this car for 8 months and have driven 7000 miles. I have driven over 4000 miles on my second tank of gas with 479 miles until empty!! In the 8 months, I have spent $22 on gas and $98 on electricity! That is only $120!! I love saving money driving my Prius Prime!!

This is one of the best cars I have ever driven. It is a great way to go green, especially with 133 mpge. With a 25 mile rated electric range, I am able to commute to and from work almost entirely on electric power. It seats 4 comfortably, and there is plenty of rear legroom, maybe even more than the front. However, the other main feature I got this car was for its great safety features. The Advanced has the most, with the BSM and Toyota Safety Connect, while the other two trims have the rest same (auto braking, lane keep assist and warning, etc.). I bought this vehicle after the lease to my Nissan Leaf ended. I didn't lease this car as I got the Advanced trim level, and the lease for it is more than 560 bucks a month, which is unreasonably high for a $36,000 car. But then again, there are federal and state incentives, since it is a plug-in hybrid. Interior comfort is pretty good, except for the armrests being unreasonably hard. I took this car on a long road trip and it was comfortable enough for the entire 8 hours. Overall this car was a great buy and highly recommend it. You may think that the Volt has an advantage over this car due to its 38 mile electric range. However, the Prime has almost TWICE the overall range (gas + electric), TWICE the mpge, and much more safety features. The Prius Prime is the winner.

This is a terrific car. I love the plug in capability and the extra miles you get on electric. The car rides well; it has plenty of pep and an extra power button when you need it (like entering a freeway or climbing hills). It is very comfortable with the adjustable seats. the only drawback is that Toyota engineers over-engineer the dashboard and make it very complicated, when it should be simplified. for example, I cannot switch to bluetooth (or USB) when I am listening to a radio station without going through multiple steps - a no-no when driving.

I think you are for someone who go to work everyday out of town or just shopping if your day with your son silver everything's perfect
