CONS: acceleration, winter traction

REVIEW: Great car, averaged 40 mpg on trip from MI to CO, driving 75 to 80. Can't do that with my 4 Runner. Took it to the Continental Divide with 4 people in it and had no difficulty with the hills. Great gas mileage on the way down. Drove 25 minutes and didn't use any gas at all. When I needed a ...

CONS: Have to pay MSRP :(

REVIEW: I LOVE my Prius. In Houston, TX, we can generally get an average of about 51-52 MPG. We have even gotten as high as 57. No, you will not get exactly the "advertised" EPA estimate, but those are under ridiculously ideal conditions -- they just changed it for that reason. If you want to ...

CONS: Why aren't there more on the road?

REVIEW: People who are complaining of not getting the MPG above 48 must be driving in correctly or they live in the mountains. Consistantly get 58 MPG on my Prius. I have driven it from South Carolina to Arizona.. and often drive from AZ to CA. Never had an issue with it. Fits two car seats and a bulky ...

CONS: Need to have EV like in Europe, need to get driver seat further back, bad armrest fabric

REVIEW: You bet you can get the 60MPG if you can handle getting flipped twice per gallon from mad drivers stuck behind you. Everybody seem to average the 50 MPG on freeway except those who drive hard seem to drop to around 47 MPG. So, the 51 MPG is correct driving speed limit and gentle driving behavior ...

CONS: The ride is smooth,brakes good...impressed

REVIEW: Bascic comments about the car are all very good. Would really like a little better gas milage inthe city. My current miles are at 3900, the car is due its first maintenance check at 5000 miles and if there is a problem with the car it should be worked out from after I get the ...

CONS: none for me

REVIEW: I am disabled and short, and very few cars allow for my brace and equipment and still allow me close enough to the steering wheel to see where I'm going. Prius fits me to a T. Sicne I have trouble turning to the right to look over my shoulder, the back-up camera is a wonderful thing to ...

CONS: MPG is not what they say

REVIEW: If you are thinking of an economical vehicle, go with the Yaris. I have an 06 Prius and i only avg 38-40 mpg. If i was to do it all over again id go with the YARIS. It's cheaper and would have given me the same mpg that im getting now. ...

CONS: power

REVIEW: This car drives pretty well in the city. I get good mileage but do not buy this car if you live in city that has a lot of hills. The great gas mileage you read is acheived with little or no up climbing. When you drive on a flat area your gas engine turns off if you just kinda cruise but if you ...

CONS: Hard to find basic model if you want to buy.

REVIEW: I was interested in the technology of the car, but was not interested in buying one; I thought they were somewhat trendy... until I drove one and was surprised to find out how NICE they were. I was ready to buy a Civic and after driving the 2007 Prius, I changed my mind. The car is not only fuel ...

CONS: seats take getting used to, too many buttons to push on screen to do basic things

REVIEW: We have had our '06 Prius for exactly one year - 20k miles on it. With 90% hwy driving we consistently average 50mpg in the rolling hills of TN. Two toddlers ride in car seats w/ plenty of room. The car looks small but holds everything (twin mattress, acoustic upright bass, etc.)! We replaced a ...
