I truly love my Prius. Even with it having over 200,000 miles on it, it is still going strong! It has required very little maintenance and when it does it is not been overly expensive. The best feature is the hybrid engine: I have gotten great gas mileage on it. I would definitely buy a Prius for my next car.
It is compact and easy to drive. It is also environmentally friendly as a hybrid vehicle. I love this car and will drive it next year in college. This car is my favorite and I am so happy I came across it.
It is eco friendly, and saves me money on gas. I also like that it has a start button instead of a conventional key. It does have room in trunk for things. I like that even though it is kind of old, it still seems like a newer car.
I get very good gas mileage and can park in smaller spaces. I also am able to park in compact car spots. It have very good handling that makes it comfortable to drive there is plenty of room to have friends and family in the car with me.
This car is very quiet so while you are on a ride you can sleep. It has fuel economy so you can save money. And it is not expensive just for $3000 you can get a really nice car with some cool features and speed.
If the battery (not the hybrid one) goes out, the only way to open the trunk is from the inside. It can be a pain to lay down the seats and climb into the hatchback area to release the trunk and change the battery. Also, the tail light LEDs can go out and the whole housing has to be replaced. It is an inconvenient design.
One of the cons I can think about to my vehicle is that it is miles per gallon is a little iffy some days. This is bad because it is not efficient and it makes it more expensive. But, I love my car and the pros outweigh the cons.
It could be faster or a little bit sportier. Nor cup holders would always be nice. The. Windshield wipers do not cover the whole area. Also there could be more room and cup holders for backseat passengers.
One disappointing aspect of the vehicle is the lack of distance it can drive on all electric power. The stereo and sound system is also quite disappointing and ended up being upgraded with an aftermarket stereo and speakers. Acceleration could also be better and less noisy.
If you live by mountains, you can get stuck in the middle of a road because it is power is not enough to get you out there. The paint quality is not really good because it can come off. The skin inside of a car comes off after 2-3 years of using it.
