"Just traded in 2910 prius for $16,000, 39,000 miles, pd. $24,000 no problems. I can"t use in the winter snows because of poor traction & low to the ground. Even when using the radio, I"m limited on listening time because the battery shuts down (when engine is shut off). When I"m driving, I"m reminded of the carton show George Jetsens. The mpg averages 42, only on highway driving will I get more mph"s. Trunk space is small, the ride is not the best. I bought the new 2012 sunaru impreza and love it. If I the mpg city are around 30, I"ll be happy The future concern on the prius is the battery replacement that can cost $3,000. One should consider a hybrid versa a non-hybrid, how long wound it take to break even on the cost of gas. Also, the minerals used on the hybrid are rare and only are available in a few countrys."

"My Prius has performed as expected. It has been very reliable and has, of course, achieved excellent gas mileage - although not at the level advertised on the window sticker. It is a great car for "around-town" transportation but suffers from road now on the highway. A luxury cruiser, it is not."

"Just drove to Az. from Il. & back. The car was comfortable and economic. (42 MPG) covering about 5000 miles. I can not say enough about the way the car handled, only one thing that I do not have on this car that would be nice is a back support. (moon roof,leather seats,17" rims and navigation)"

"I was surprised at how roomy it is. I thought it was going to be a small economy car, but I am thrilled with my purchase. I went from driving a GMC Safari which gave me 13mpg to the Prius which I am now averaging 49.3mpg. The $350.00 I was spending on gas are now going towards my car note. Very happy about that!!!"

"Was rather skeptical when we purchased this vehicle but now that we have had it for approximately 6 weeks we are extremely confident with our choice and haven't looked back. The fuel economy is unparalleled with what we were used to. We always filled our vehicles up weekly and the average cost was around $55 (@ $3.34/gallon). Now, we still fill up weekly, however our tank is musch smaller and the cost is only around $28-30 at the same gas price. Best decision we have made concerning transportation and the uncertainty that faces gas prices. Highly recommend!"

"Just finished a 3,375 mile trip through TX, NM, AZ. UT, and CO. with a overall trip gas MPG of 47.2 . I can say the car ran great in all elevations and exceeded my expectations for overall gas mileage! Some tanks there was interstate driving that was 80MPH, of course gas mileage suffered but the average still came out 47.2 . Comfort was fine, navigation worked well, noise was minimal so I really can not complain and would recommend this car to anyone looking to save some $$$."

"I love my car, I go for weeks before I need to get gas. I upgraded from a 2007 Dodge Caliber when gave me nothing but problems. It was not reliable at all something went wrong with that car on a quarterly basis. The 2010 Prius was a huge upgrade, it's spacious, quiet, smooth and I got the Solar Sun Roof Package that I always wanted!"

"I bought a used 2010 Prius ii. It handles very well and real life gets about 45mpg around town and local highway driving. The flying console is bit weird and it's not easy to plug in a cell phone charger but those are minor kinks"

"The Prius is a fantastic car, great on gas I'm getting 52.4 miles per gallon! It is roomy and when the rear seats are folded down will hold a ton of cargo. It's very quiet on the road, but has a lot of pep. The Prius is such a fun car to drive! This is my second one, and when I turn this one in, I'm getting another one!"
