2012 Toyota Prius User Reviews

Pros

Roomy, great fuel economy

Cons

Rough ride, road noise

Purchased As New

I love this car, after 8,000 miles have averaged 51 mpg. Have taken several long trips and have more room than my last car. The only regret is that I didn't some options that I would have liked.

Pros

Great MPG

Purchased As New

Pros:
I have put less 1,000 miles and the car has been great so far. I'm getting about 46-47mpg traveling in endless mountain area of Pa. The seat are comfortable and roomy even for larger people. The information panel contains alot of information on the car which you can program. The radio sounds good and bluetooth connections work great with Apple products. The power of the engine is good and works good in the Eco mode. The power mode gives me plenty of power when pulling into traffic.

Cons: The ride can be a bit stiff. There also can be a braking skip or fade (about 1 sec) if you hit a good size bump when braking at the same time. The antilock brake comes on when this happens....read morehide

Pros

58 mpg and only on my 2nd tank of gas

Cons

have problems w/ blue tooth connecting to phone

Purchased As New

This is the 2nd Prius for me, traded in my 2010 and love the 2012 too. The seat seems more comfortable in the 2012 vs the 2010, the navigation system and blue tooth plus options to view your text msgs, stock market(if you're into that) traffic/weather reports, pandora radio.. am still trying to figure all this out.. the best part is it's a sharp looking car, I'm averaging 58 mpg and drive 36.6 miles one way to work. It also has a spot to enter price per gallon and lets you know what a trip cost you when you shut the car off.. love it when it says $2.55 for my trip to work...read morehide

Pros

The best fuel economy II've ever had. 49

Cons

Minnesota to Florida and back was good but not so on rough roads.

Purchased As New

Overall I like the way the Prius handles and has decent ride for a small car. Visibility out the back is somewhat hanmped
due to the bars for the windows. It took time to get used to some of the operating system controles

Pros

Good fuel economy, spacious for a mid size sedan

Cons

Noisy and audio is bad

Purchased As New

As advertise mpg is excellent and spacious for 5 adults. Noisy when accelerating past 40mph , going uphill and JBL audio systems fell short of my stereo standard. It sounds like a cheap speakers even when it is on HD radio.

I was trying to decide between the prius and the highlander at the end of 2010. Boy am I glad I choose the prius with the way gas prices have gone up in the last several years.
