I love the reliability and design. I appreciate the intelligence that went into the engineering. Love the fuel efficiency. Nothing I dislike about it at all.

The most important thing other should know about the 2009 Toyota Prius is that is gets great gas mileage and is very inexpensive to fill up.
My vehicle is a 2009 Toyota Prius. I like that this is a hybrid vehicle, so it gets very good gas mileage compared to regular cars. I also like that it is very dependable and safe. The only thing I dislike about the Prius is that the styling is not necessarily my favorite.

It gets great gas mileage.
It gets great mileage. It's been pretty durable. It's easy to park in tight urban environments, especially with the backup camera.

The gas mileage is excellent. I can drive about 350 miles per tankful.
It's blue. It gets super gas mileage! The field of vision isn't great. The paint is beginning to chip.
Ellen S

It's Hybrid! We get between 32-40 miles to the gallon
The cat is great. It runs well and is safe. We have over 225,000 miles on it, so it eats through oil.

Low maintenance, but repairs can be extremely pricey.
Great gas mileage. Better for long distance than stop-and-go traffic. Replacing a battery is VERY expensive.
Matthew W

It has more space than it looks. Family of three fits car seat just fine.
Prius hybrid was best choice I made. Not many used hybrid were optional here. Would love to get one of the larger plugin Prius.
Hayden L

It is large enough for a big family.
The vehicle is old but works well. Smooth driving and low maintenance. Good control as well. Oil change is needed frequently.
Janey T

Very reliable and great gas mileage
Great value, minimal environmental impact, reliable, but at 200000 miles need the batteries replaced
Elaine D

200k miles and still runs great!
I have over 200k miles on this car and it still runs really nicely! It is starting to burn oil a little more quickly now, since it is over 10 years old, but that is the only issue that I have had with it in the 3 years that I have owned it, and it is better now that I have switched back to synthetic.
Matthew S
on February 1, 2021
White Prius from 2009, got it pre owned, never had trouble
The car drives well, but is light enough for there to be mild inconvenience in strong winds. Handles well, right turns, good brakes, has not needed any large repairs
Kimberly F
on January 23, 2021
The most important thing is the good gas mileage.
My favorite thing about a Prius is the gas mileage. I end up paying roughly around $20 each time I fill up, and I only have to fill the tank about every week and a half. It runs on battery when the car is not in motion so you know you are never wasting gas.

It has amazing gas mileage & doesn't cost much more than a Toyota Corolla.
Great gas mileage, never had to take it in the garage for anything apart from regular maintenance like oil change. Definitely recommend!
Janice S
on December 26, 2020
It has low gas mileage but does not like ethanol gas.
I love the gas mileage. It is a comfortable car to drive or ride in as a passenger. I do not like it being so small because of accidents, but that is the only thing i do not like. It is a great car with over 200,000 miles and still runs like it is new.
Luba K
on December 6, 2020
Economical, but not strong engine.
I like my car Toyota Prius 2009. It is very economical, about 38 mile per gallon. I like that car is hatchback. I can put long items in the car. Also, two people can sleep in the car, if put down back seats. What I do not like is that it not very powerful. It is very slow and hard to drive in mountains.
Meredith F
on December 4, 2020
It has great gas mileage - around 45 mpg.
I love my 2009 Prius. I average around 43-47 mpg, depending on whether or not I am cranking the a/c or heat. I have had some trouble with keeping the mass air flow sensor cleaner which makes my check engine light randomly come on.
Christopher T
on December 3, 2020
Toyota Prius: the ins and outs of being a tree hugger.
My car is very reliable, comfortable and relatively easy to drive. The low gas mileage and it being ecologically friendly is a definite plus. Now in California you have to buy a newer model hybrid to be permitted to drive in the hov lane on the freeway. This is a potential reason to not get a hybrid. Also my only other problem with my car is that the wheelbase is low. I am disabled so it is not easy for me to get in or out of.
Nadia L
on November 23, 2020
We have always owned Fords. Love the way it drives.
I like that it does not cost much to fill up the tank and that it has great gas mileage... I do not like how the shape of the car does not let me see a lot of things behind and to the sides of the car... I also do not like how sometimes I cannot tell if the car is on or off..
Ilene R
on November 18, 2020
The Prius is spacious, gas efficient, but watch out for the battery!
I love the fact that it is gas efficient, however, I have encountered battery problems. To replace the battery cells or the entire battery it can be very expensive.
Sharon A
on November 11, 2020
Prius costs be sure to always get warranty.
Repairs can be costly. Has 2 batteries which also can be very costly to replace. Be sure to purchase extended warranties if purchasing one. But overall great reliable car and saves on gas costs tremendously! We were hesitant at first, but I recommend repairs be done at the Toyota dealership as you want them done correctly and warrantied to avoid further expenses in the future.
Annette S

It is very reliable and dependable.
It has been problem free and reliable since I bought it. It has good gas mileage. It is not that attractive a car.
Rafael Y

Great interior and very spacious inside. Cruise control. Leather interior.
Reliable, has cruise control, great ac, drives well, comfortable, hybrid so great mpg. Has leather interior. I love it. Has keyless ignition. Low maintenance costs. It has a high safety rating and that was really important to me. I just change oil every 4, 000 miles and that is it.
Jill L
on October 18, 2020
This is a very very reliable car. It's got a bit of a rough ride.
Excellent car saves money through less gas being used. Bad side: battery can only be replaced with a Toyota battery.
Sherry B

It has amazing cargo room.
I love my car. It gets great gas mileage and doesn't pollute the air as much as regular cars. The only thing I would change are the seats, they are uncomfortable.

This is a great car if you're looking for a reliable mode of transportation with good gas mileage.
My vehicle has very good gas mileage, which I love. It is a little difficult to work on. However, it has had very few problems. Overall, it runs very smoothly and is a good car.

Tracy B

Great gas mileage! Super comfortable! Great in inclimate weather.
I love the great gas mileage. There's surprisingly more room inside than you would think--we can travel with four adults in the car rather comfortably. The only issue I've had is with the CD player--i got a disc "jammed" in the player and no one has been able to fix it, because the whole dash would have to come off.

Toyota Prius - pretty awesome, reliable hybrid.
The Prius has great fuel economy, so fill ups are infrequent. It is relatively quiet and has great safety features such as side-impact airbags. There are two adjustable front seats and three in back, all are comfortable and easy to clean. It is a hatchback, so carrying large/unusually shaped objects is manageable, especially with the fold down seat ability. The trunk is bigger than one would expect. The car opens remotely with key fob, which is so convenient. There are power locks and power windows. Overall, very reliable.
Tracy O
on September 5, 2020
Toyota Priuses are very well made and we have avoided many of the problems we've had with previous cars.
I like that it has been reliable. We've had very few problems with it. It also gets excellent gas mileage.
Bev F

Lorraine L
on August 17, 2020
It's a car that gets great mileage so it's good for commuting.
I like that my vehicle get good mileage. However, in the last few years, the MPG has gone down, presumably because the car is older. My car is also not as powerful but I'm willing to sacrifice that for the better MPG.
Betty A
on August 12, 2020
The keyless entry can drain the battery quickly, and then it is a major hassle to open the car to get at the battery to recharge it.
Love the great gas mileage, but it is relatively small, road noise is annoying and the small battery does not last very long.
Jonathan F
on August 6, 2020
The Toyota Prius is reliable and is very accessible for the average driver.
The gas mileage and safety features of the Toyota Prius ensure a smooth driving experience. Most models have backup cameras and great trimming in the inside to ensure no wind noise while driving. The car does have a slow pickup rate to get to freeway speed but generally the Prius is an amazing ride and very reliable.
Carolyn M
on July 7, 2020
Prius Fan od High Mileage and High MPG
I love the gas mileage. It has been reliable except for changing the hybrid water pump twice; that affects the car and keeps it from running when it's time to replace. I have had the car for 218,000 miles now. I like how quiet it is, except when it transitions from electric to gas; sounds clunky. Otherwise, my next car may be a Prius again.
Cynthia C
on June 28, 2020
Hybrid didn't disappoint.
Love how my car handles and for a hybrid it has a lot of go power. I purchased a hybrid for better gas mileage and am not disappointed with my decision, gets great gas mileage. Has just enough extra features to make it almost like driving a luxury car but with nowhere near the cost.
Megan B

You cannot beat hybrid/electric cars for mileage!.
I love the mileage, first and foremost. It is roomier than we ever imagined it would be. I feel safe and like my family is safe.
Eric W
on June 20, 2020
My Prius is the best, and I love the gas mileage so much.
My Prius has always been very reliable, and has not had many problems over the years. The only problem I have really experienced is a problem with the battery. The battery would stop working temporarily at random, during which time I could not start the car with the push button Start.
Taylor L
on June 18, 2020
It handles incredibly well and has great speed for a gas sipping car.
I love the gas mileage, on average of 49 mpg. It rides fantastically on any road. Control is great, size is great, storage is nice. I can't complain about much besides price of maintenance on occasion which isn't its fault.
Elaine K
on June 17, 2020
Review of 2009 Prius. Great car that gets good mileage. Easy and fun to drive.
I get great mileage. Save money on gas. It is easy to drive. Responds well to the road, has good pick up even though only 4 cylinders. No major problem except for maintenance, brakes and tires. I have over 105,000 miles. Hatch back is great for moving objects. Lots of room for packages. Even though the car is a 2009, it has a backup camera for safety while backing up.
Megan B
on June 11, 2020
It is a hybrid and it helps me save money on gas.
When the vehicle is overheated or not parked in a shady and cool area, the a/c will delay. Sometimes the delay lasts for a couple of minutes, sometimes almost an hour. The length of time varies, but it will eventually turn on. It only blows cold or cool air. It does not seem to blow hot air.

Jennifer A
on May 27, 2020
It is a hybrid car, and that there are 2 batteries-a regular battery and a hybrid battery.
I like the Toyota Prius because it is fuel efficient and good for the environment. Because of this, i don't spend much money on fuel. The car is also generally pretty quiet, which is nice. Because it is a hybrid, it takes a lot of work to accelerate. Additionally, the gas tank is small. Also, not everyone knows how to service the car.
Rachel L
on May 22, 2020
Low gas mileage, and easy to drive.
Like everything, gas mileage and quiet comfort. . Dislike there is no all wheel drive. And the computer screen does not work to the touch and is ridiculously expensive to fix.
Shawn C

They should know that it's a Toyota and it'll last for a very long time. It has a 3 cylinder engine and gets amazing MPG.
I love my car because it get awesome gas mileage. It's a small car so it'll fit just about anywhere and it has a ton of leg room inside.

That the gas mileage/price you pay for gas can't be beat.
Love the gas mileage. Like the size and ability to get around. Very easy to drive, pretty low maintenance car. Only a handful of times I wish it were bigger to transport bigger items. Can be a pain to drive on windy days, as it gets blown around.

Toyota Prius is as green as it get with less money ?.
I drive a Toyota Prius 2009. It is an excellent city car. The maintenance is affordable and I love it because it is a hybrid kind of car, so go green (slightly). The bad thing is that if you leave it for too long in cold and do not drive it the battery goes down very fast and sometimes it takes time to turn it on.
jan b
on April 27, 2020
Great ride. Very smooth and lots of room in the back seat.
Love the gas mileage. Love that you can run the air conditioner in the summer and it doesn't change your gas mileage. Love that it's a very roomy back seat. Dislike is that in the winter the gas mileage goes way down.
Luther S
on April 27, 2020
2009 Prius is mostly awesome.
My 2009 Prius has been mostly great; however, the 2009 models are known to burn oil when car has around 100, 000 miles on it. My Prius has just over 150, 000 miles on it and I have to add about a quart of oil to my Prius about every 1000 miles. Other than that, it has a very reliable and fun vehicle to drive.
Mike G
on April 26, 2020
Excellent gas mileage. Design creates some blind spots when driving.
Smoothest car I have owned, great gas mileage. Sometimes struggles in mountainous regions but great touring and commuting vehicle. Holding up good after 9 years with little maintenance. No major repairs besides regular checkups, tires, and oil changes. Headlights are a little difficult to change manually.
Elisabeth P
on April 16, 2020
47 miles to the gallon. Reverse vision on dashboard.
It's a comfortable fit for a hatchback. It gets about 47 miles to the gallon. It is not a loud car. When you come to a stop, it will shut off to save gas. Airbags are a plus. It has reverse vision on dashboard, so you can see when backing up. My Prius is very quiet.
CLare t

2009 Toyota Prius - The Good and Bad
Gas mileage is great! Wonderful commuter car. Sufficient interior space for passengers and storage. Even with an extended warranty, the costs of upkeep has been relatively high. Every 5 months when I go in for an oil change and tire rotation, there is always a list of items needed - some parts up to $900 each. The primary battery for the car is $2000.
J S
on March 19, 2020
Would buy again (and again).
My 2009 Toyota Prius is now 9 years old and has never had a single problem. I maintain it with regular tune-ups and washings. It gets 45 mph. There was a recall on something I do not remember but it was small and taken care of by the dealer quickly.
Chris T
on March 15, 2020
That it is environmentally friendly and that you save money on gas.
I have a Toyota Prius. I like the gas mileage and being able to use the carpool lane. I am disabled and I dislike the wheel base because it is hard for me to get in and out of my car.
Maria L
on March 12, 2020
This car is so great even my boyfriend drives it.
I love my Prius, it is so efficient and I feel safe in the car for the size. It is performance is what I need in a busy city as well as for traveling and being on the road a lot. The seats could work on comfort however everything else inside the car is fantastic. The only real concern I have had is how they do not do well during the winter if you do not have a warm garage, often times my Prius dashboard lights wouldn't turn on because of how cold affects them so much.
Elizabeth B
on March 1, 2020
I'm not trading it in until it quits, and my next car is going to also be a Prius--hopefully a Prime!
I love the reliability-9 years and no issues. I love the gas mileage; I feel smug stopping at gas stations for refreshments and potty break and saying no when they ask "any fuel?" I love that when I fill my tank for the next 300-350 miles it's only 7-8 gallons. I love the handling and the acceleration. I've passed plenty of expensive cars with showoffs dudes revving their engines because the electric motor really knows what torque is. I love that it can fit 4 people and luggage or 3 people and a christmas tree or whatever. No complaints.
Jolorie A
on February 21, 2020
It's a Prius so I'm not going to be speeding on the freeway. Please pass me on your left.
I like saving on gas expenses specially on road trips. It's also a smooth and quiet drive every time. Maintenance on is fair.
Shane O

This car has a lot of features but power isn't one of them.
The Prius is a pretty nice car. The technology features where ahead of its time when I bought it. The power and handling are a bit weak.
Deborah J
on February 11, 2020
I love my Prius. I do not think I will buy any other car soon.
The gas mileage is great! The interior is very spacious. Plenty of legroom. The trunk has plenty of room where I can pack lots of groceries. The dashboard lets me know of any problem in plenty of time. It is very dependable, with proper upkeep done.
Blake G

2009 Toyota Prius review - great car.
I love driving my Prius. It had been very reliable and had good gas mileage. It is fun to drive even if it is not very fast. We got it used but it had a lot of features including Bluetooth and GPS. I would recommend others to buy this car. I haven't had any engine or battery problems.
Ela A
on February 8, 2020
Practical car with amazing mileage
No major complaints with this car. The gas mileage is amazing, getting up to 42 mpg. One thing I dislike is how loud the exterior car noises sound when in the car cabin on a highway. You can't really listen to music comfortably, while talking and going 60 mph on a freeway, it's just a bit too noisy. This is canceled out however by the fact that the Prius has been a car that has served major practical purposes in my life. I can fit nearly anything in this car, including a bathtub! When you put the seats down the hatchback because extremely useful. The car drives well too, it's not the fastest car, by any means, but I'm not too interested in speed. So the way the car drives is 100% fine for me.

Rosemary A
on January 30, 2020
The one most important thing others should know about my car is that it's a car that's better for the environment and for your wallet.
I like that my car is a hybrid so it's better for the environment than a regular car. I also like that my car doesn't use as much gas because gas can get expensive. Another reason why I like my car is because it's been reliable and fits my lifestyle perfectly.
animi l
on January 16, 2020
I like the gas mileage and how quiet it is. I do not like how it sounds like it's straining to get up a hill. I hate how expensive it is to maintain when something breaks.I also find that when something goes wrong, the part is not replaced, but I have to replace the entire section of where the broken part is.
It is fuel efficient and saves on the harmful emissions to the planet
Meghan M
on January 5, 2020
My car has cool features like push to start, keyless entry, and backup camera.
Saves me money on gas, smooth ride, reliable, never any problems. I really like that it tells me how much energy and gas that I am using at any given time and that all of the features are user-friendly. I also like the hatchback style of the vehicle.
Kaite P

Long lasting and cheap on gas
I love my Prius because it is great on gas mileage. If just traveling around town and to work I only have to fill up about once week. It run smoothly and even when there are mechanical problems the Toyota dealership is amazing to get it fixed. My last Prius I had until it had 300,000 miles on it and I hardly. Had any problems with it.

The Prius is a very comfortable, economically friendly, and affordable car.
The Prius is one of the most comfortable cars I've ever driven. I'm only 5' tall but I don't feel too short when driving the Prius. The gas mileage is wonderful and you feel good driving it because it's economically friendly. So far we have had no problems and have been told that if taken care of a Prius can go for well over 500000 miles.
Kenneth H
on December 23, 2019
The Prius can actually look pretty cool when you tint the windows.
The computer that controls the hybrid engine went out and cost a tone to replace. The base model is not that comfortable, it is also not very impressive as far as the interior is concerned. It is super reliable, drives very smoothly, and is fun to drive. I just wish that the interior was upgraded.
Kevin S
on December 20, 2019
It will save you money at the pump.

Brian M

The Prius is a luxurious, mid-price vehicle with an abundance of features.
Absolutely love the Prius. Great gas mileage, slick interior, good performance. I have never had any trouble with it, and it is always on top of it is game with warning lights (only about low tire pressure so far!). The backup camera is a big help. I have got the map services which is a nice feature, unfortunately GPS updates cost quite a bit of money, but when you consider that this GPS cannot be stolen unless your entire car goes, it is a pretty great inclusion.

I just got my Toyota Prius inspected and registered in the state of pa. For the past 7 months or so it was New Jersey inspected and registered. It had a huge crack in the middle of the windshield that my partner and I couldn't fix until recently. Overall it is extremely gas efficient.
Sue E

Amazing mileage and surprisingly spacious for a small vehicle.
I adore my prius!! It gets AMAZING mileage and even though we purchased it at 125k miles, it's still going strong after 3 years and now 185k miles. Never ever had to replace anything major. Very impressed! Plan to get another Prius when it dies.
Nancy M

Fantastic Vehicle, Great Gas Mileage
The car has great performance. We've had no huge issues, only the 12v battery need replacement after 8 years. The Prius has spectacular gas mileage (46 mpg). I have to report the Prius is lousy in snow. We usually travel with back seats down for additional cargo space
cynthia p

One of the first hybrids!
Get great gas mileage. Love the design and hatchback. Have replaced the start up battery 3 times. Easy to leave the car running because it is so quiet. Hatchback convenient for loading groceries and etc. Small gas tank so save a lot of money because of that and the hi bred feature.

Repairs are infrequent, but pricey through the dealership. There is a blind spot on the driver's side so do turn your head to check on the freeway.
Find it comfortable, fuel efficient, very handleable, and I would buy another in a quick minute. Cleans easily, I can haul furniture and props in the roomy back area. Dog has room to lay down comfortably

Everyone should consider a Toyota Prius. It is the best car we have owned.
Our Toyota Prius has been one of the best purchases we made as a couple. Though it is my primary car, we use it as the family travel vehicle. Gas mileage aside, (and it is pretty great), we love how it drives. It is a smooth ride and a safe ride. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new car. Have recommended it to family and friends.
Samuel O
on September 12, 2019
If you want a good car with good track record, great mileage and reliability, and you don't mind spending more for the privilege, this is an excellent car.
Overall the Prius has been an excellent vehicle, generally reliable and efficient and definitely good mileage. With regular maintenance, you can expect to go well over 100,000 miles before more serious repairs are needed, which is good for a small car. I put the first 100,000 miles in the first 4 years, and have only needed major repairs on the A/C ( evaporator core, not the compressor ) when it was about 7.5 years old, and ~130,000 miles, which apparently is not unusual for small cars. Thanks next major repair was the ABS and braking system which had to be rebuilt/replaced at about 9 years, and ~160,000 miles. Mileage after 10 years is not what it used to be, ( averages more like 30 to 40 mpg these days instead of the original 40 to 50 ) which is also not surprising due to the age of the hybrid battery system mainly.

The great gas mileage it gets. Extremely pleasing.
The gas mileage. Bigger than you would expect. Expensive to repair.

The car gets excellent gas mileage which makes it easy to pass up gas stations for long periods of time.
I like the size and configuration. I really like the gas mileage it gives.

It is very Reliable. It gets great mileage. Has everything I need.
Great mileage and very peppy! Gets over 40 miles per gallon and I only fill up every two weeks.

Definitely will buy Prius cars over Audi, BMW or Mercedes
Very quiet, fun to drive, smooth, gets great gas mileage, and in great condition. The seats are amazingly comfortable, and the interior design is very luxurious for the cost of the vehicle. Prius cars tend to be on the lower end of cost, yet maintain high performance and quality of drive. This 2009 Prius has not disappointed me, and it has much more life left. It has over 150K miles on it but consistently gets over 50 mpg average.

Great gas mileage hardly have to worry about filling up.
Great car for people who have a long commute. Gas mileage is unbeatable and I don't have to worry about getting gas all the time. Smooth quiet ride. In the time that I have owned this vehicle no major maintenance has been needs. I plan to drive this car for a least another 10 years. The seats are comfortable for times you have to just sit in traffic. Sound system is great and love the Bluetooth feature for hands free driving.
