2009 Toyota Prius User Reviews

Pros

Great gas mileage; carries tons of stuff, including 3 big wet dogs

Cons

Doesn't handle corners as well as my old Honda Civic; stiff ride

Purchased As New

My 08 Prius is the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel. I'm averaging 49.5 mpg on the twists and turns of California's North coast, and get up to 52 mpg when I'm driving on the freeway . The cargo space is big enough to carry a friend's wheelchair and an assortment of bags, boxes, etc. And the back seat is comfortable, even for leggy people. I love having the backup camera and using the phone without a hassle. Purchased in late '08, I've already logged 40K miles without a hitch. The stock tires wore out quickly, but the Proxies I put on give decent handling and a good ride, plus they don't wear out too fast. I rotate my tires and change the oil every 3,000 miles.
