It gets really great gas mileage and is very dependable. With proper upkeep they last for many years.
My Prius rides as smooth as a luxury car. Comes standard with everything you could ever want. Gets great gas mileage. Plenty of headroom and legroom.

Gas mileage-after 16 years, still gets 40-50 mpg HW and 30-35 city.
Well made car. Small outside, roomy inside. Great on gas. Holds the road and has good pick up. Can easily park it and maneuver through small spaces.

It has very good fuel efficiency.
Loud noise from outside when driving fast. Small na ovation screen. No CD player.

It gets great mileage and is easy to take care of. I've had to replace the bank of batteries, but the cost was much lower than I expected.
It's a hybrid. Gets great mileage and is environmentally desirable. I expect it to keep going to well over 250,000 miles. Easy to maintain.

Fantastic daily driver
You can ride solo in carpool lane, the power & smooth ride are a fantastic experience. The gas mileage is awesome& it fills up with $40

It's a hybrid - runs on gas but has electric feature.
I love the gas mileage. I love the amount of truck and space inside the cabin. I love the open view of the road and behind. I love that it is 4 doors only thing I do not like is that dog hairs are really hard to remove from the upholstery.

Old car cannot be driven anymore.
It is a 12+ year old car with a lot of body damage and was just totaled. Vehicle cannot be driven anymore was in accident.
accountCircle Paula R
It runs smoothly and it's a nice, quiet, reliable car
My vehicle is comfortable compact and reliable. But one major downside is how expensive it is to replace parts.
accountCircle Kathryn T
Great gas mileage, extremely reliable.
The best thing about this vehicle is the miles per gallon. It is also extremely reliable and I have had to make minimal repairs in the 10 years I have owned it.
accountCircle Ginger M
Prius- old, but reliable.
Have had to replace the hybrid battery which was very expensive. Pretty good car otherwise. Doesn't get great gas mileage anymore, likely due to the age of the car, but just withstood a cross country trip, so still doing ok. Would consider buying another Prius in the future

My little blue gas saving machine
It's 17 years old and still goes from point A to B. Can't complain too much about that. Zero power in the mountains though. You floor it you hold 40mph
