2010 Toyota Prius User Reviews

Pros

Good fuel Economy

Cons

High price. Cost cannot be justified with regular driving @ 10 mile/day

Purchased As New

Good fuel Economy. However the cost is too high. Dealers are not giving a bit and they don't care whether you are serious buyer or not. they have fixed price and you cannot expect any "deal" on the car. Buying experience is poor due to high demand and sales people are not ready to look for you even. If you drive a lot (@ 40 miles / day ) its cost is justified else Toyota corolla or yaris is a better option.
Another cons. is poor power. As it is hybrid, you cannot expect to race with any V-6 or V-4 car also.

The only thing good for this car is high MPG.

I purchased this car only because my wife wanted. Cost wise this car is not justified if you are not driving much.......................read morehide

Pros

Excellent MPG, styling

Cons

Dashboard rattles when driving over bumps

Purchased As New

Getting over 50 mpg. Great looking. Rattles like a cheap car. Returned to dealer 5 times for same rattles. Dealer can not correct. Called Toyota and was told it was normal. Look at the Honda Insight instead.

Pros

Comfortable, reliable, mpg

Cons

Center console rattles

Purchased As New

Drove 750 miles to Houston on $24 worth of gas. Average gas mileage is 52 mpg combined city & hwy. Good acceleration with the power mode.

One complaint is the center console rattles. The nav system also needs to allow passenger to operate information. Cannot seem to get information about "points of interest" along route (hotels, dining, etc.) only in immediate area.

Very comfortable on long or short drives....read morehide

Pros

Great fuel economy, of course, and it is a workhorse.

Cons

Acceleration

Purchased As New

We LOVE our Prius. Don't even need to talk about mileage everyone knows that. We have taken it on many trips, through mountains, and not one problem. Yes, it goes up hills just fine, don't let anyone tell you it doesn't. And it is fine in the rain, no sliding. Braking is EXCELLENT in this car. I wouldn't be dumb enough to drive it in deep snow, that is what I have a 4-wheel drive vehicle for. It was well worth the price. It is hands down the best car I have ever owned....read morehide

Great fuel economy 51/48 Mpg. very comfortable and I love the navigation and the apperance

Pros

Sleek new design and awesome mileage

Cons

Still a tad pricey

Purchased As New

I waited for years to buy a Prius. The design of previous models was not very appealing. The redesigned 2010 Prius is sleek, sporty, and much more contemporary. Aesthetics aside, it is awesome on gas (of course) and quiet as a snail on the road. I'm glad I waited -- I'm loving my Prius!

Pros

fuel economy; good on ecology, sporty, comfortable

Purchased As New

I have a Prius 2 and get 42-46 mpg in the city. I drove to another state recently and for 53 mpg average on the trip. Not Bad! Love the car. I'm 5 feet tall and I'm comfortable driving it and I have some friends who are taller than 6"4' and they love their Prius too. My car is 4 1/2 years old and I've never had to have anything repaired.

My son just bought a Prius 3 and he's getting 50 mpg in the city!!!

I can't imagine why anyone would want any other car....read morehide

Cons

NONE

Purchased As New

If anyone buys this car and expects it to perform in snow, they are seriously mis-informed about what the car was designed for.
Buy a gas guzzling 4 wheel drive SUV if you want snow performance....or wait for the snow to melt and enjoy the Prius for what it was designed for. The Prius is about comfort, accelleration when needed, great gas mileage, dependability, storage capacity and more. We bought one five years ago and continue to drive it Daily. What a wonderful vehicle it has been.

Thanks Toyota....read morehide
