Fantastic car, reliable, economical and performs

Car was the best. Hybrid features saves fuel. Only replacing to go 100 % ELECTRIC. Very low cost maintenance and well cared for. Economical yet sporty feel and performance.

208,000 miles and still going

This wasn't the best looking car but the mpg is why we bought it. It has a lot of cargo space and can fit a 10 foot surfboard inside if you take down the head rest on the passenger seat. The problems: had to replace the fan last year (did it ourselves) and the little battery, the brakes, and an exterior piece of the hatchback below the latch became loosened, which we taped back into place. We have used it as our sole vehicle for 12 years. I wish the front seats reclined all the way backwards --the only interior issue that reduced my review by 1 star.

Good long-lasting low cost of ownership car!

The Prius is VERY reliable and inexpensive to own. In 150,000 miles there was little maintenance (total for 12 years of less than $2,000 TOTAL).

A great car at a reasonable price.

The Prius was more than I expected, very clean, in great shape, and well worth the money. I had to travel a ways to test drive it, but it was well worth the drive.

it keeps on running and running...

I love this vehicle as a daily driver. very reliable and gas saver. I will literally go for and entire month with about $10 in gas. I don't baby it either. My feet is on the pedal. It's no toyota supra but it will get up and go no problem. I can't say enough good things about this vehicle. this would be a great first car for a new driver.

efficient, extremely reliable, over 240,000 mi !

A great Toyota, This is one of the best reliable and long lasting toyota's that I have driven. With just basic maintenance this vehicle easily get 45+ MPG and runs well with over 240,000 miles on it. Just a basic , fairly inexpensive commuter vehicle that likes to be driven a a lot. Not the fastest for sure or the most fun to drive , but does what it is supposed to do safely and in comfort.

Overall top notch!

This car is Absolutely amazing. This is my third Prius and I would buy this car over and over again. As a car connoisseur I go through a lot of cars and always seem to end up back with the Prius because of its excellent reliability and comfort. There?s nothing like getting 50 miles per gallon with ease. I would highly recommend this car as someone who has a long commute or someone who is looking to spend as little as possible with a car and compromise nothing

Most bang for your buck!

I have owned three different Prius?s. This car features reliability, comfort, and an exceptional value for the money. If you?re looking for a vehicle that costs little to nothing to maintain and own then this is it! The hatchback features accessibility for almost any function. The power is lacking, but what can you expect with 50 miles per gallon. Overall I am very pleased with this vehicle, and just about every way. If you?re looking for a Prius, you need to check them out!
