2010 Toyota Prius consumer reviews

My 2010 Prius with the solar panel package has been the best car I’ve ever owned. At 180k miles it drives like a dream and I’ve never had to replace anything besides the brakes. If I drive right I actually get 60-85 mpg. It’s a really wonderful car. I expect another 50 to 100k more miles out of it.

This car is very economical. Great gas mileage and very easy to maintain. Be certain to change the oil and filter. Rotate tires and check the brakes every 10K miles. Realize what this car is all about - it is not a high performance car but for transportation inexpensive cost per mile it is SUPER.

I bought a 2010 Prius as I needed hood gas mileage. I’ve had the car for 3 years, and it had a lot of miles when I got it. It’s not given me any problem till a week ago. It’s been dependable daily. Now I think I only have a few weeks to try to gather money to replace my car. Why? Because my son had a 2012 Prius and from the day he was told it’s problem, it was 1 month before the motor blew. The entire side of the motor blew out. It was a shocking sight. I mean, it was simply gone. I think it was amazing he was not going fast, what would have happened? What happens if I’m on the hwy when mine goes? This is sad. This is a great little car for around town. It’s trouble free. Even with age and high miles it’s a good car. Going a long distance? Forget about it. The seats are hard and not only do you feel every inch of the road, you hear it too. You are crippled by the time you make a 3 hour drive. If you have any fear of driving noise, don’t get on the hwy with this car. But, if you need a dependable car, cheap to upkeep, great on gas, in city driving, this is great. This is Jan of 2023. The batteries are still good. Issues with headlights, radio, sensor lights. I will be sorry to see this little car go. I really like it all in all. I feel sorry for it and for me. It would have been helpful if someone would have brought up problems with carbon build up and how to prevent it. No one shares knowledge, like it’s a major secret or a crime to do so. But, if the car dealer had said, listen, these cars have issues with this. Put this in your car monthly. Maybe I would not be loosing my car now? Not once has this car left me stranded.

The greatest car on the planet besides my BMW's humm maybe better. .I LOVE driving this car... First hybrid I owned. I would buy another. I bought the car with 167k and now have over 210k.My daughter drives it back and forth to school. GREAT gas mileage thus far NO PROBLEMS.

I bought this car new in 2010 and have been the only owner since. The car is easy to drive, gets great gas mileage, and requires basic maintenance. I have changed the tires twice and the rear brakes once and otherwise it's been great!

I got a 2010 Prius through an estate settlement. It already had about 170k miles on it and was burning about a qt of oil every 1000 miles. After some research I found a mechanic who nearly guaranteed that he could fix it without major engine work. He cleaned out the entire intake and exhaust and ran cleaning agents through the engine. 3 years later it runs great and gets much better mileage. Change the oil every 5k miles and this may not happen. Finally just had the brakes done for the first time! Great car.

I have this car for 8 years I changed water pump 5 times I changed two engines and now I changed ABS (used) for the fourth time and still not working

Extremely reliable and great on gas mileage. Not the best looking car I've ever owned, and considerably more expensive than the car I replaced it with. Still I had a hard time not just buying another one. As a used car it will give the new owner great service.

Bought it new , a three hatch , in 2010. In over 100 k never had a problem. Handles great . With four Blizzak snows went through anything. 50 mpg all the time.

The best car I have ever owned! The low gas mileage and no major problems in the past 10 years - Prius is my #1 choice!
