  I admit I have only owned this vehicle for less than 2 months but I love it. The smaller steering wheel took a little while to get used to but now - no problem. The Prius is very responsive and even though I do alot of highway traveling my average mileage is about 45.

  I love it! - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By jan - February 16 - 11:50 pm

  I drove all the Hybrids before deciding on the Prius, more options, comfort and design were superior. Also road noise is far better than the Honda. Seats are very comfortable. I have gone on two long trips already and have loved every minute. I have averaged between 52 and 72 MPG... very satisified. And RED IS the color! I have the option 4 package and it has all I need.

  My Prius - 2006 Toyota Prius

  If there is one thing, be sure not to leave a door open all night. My son didnt shut my hatch all the way. The next AM, I couldnt start it. And it will not move. You cant just put it in neutral and back it out. You better have an extra long set of jumper cables.LOL. Seriously though, I love the car, its got great cargo space and very comfortable inside. I got the basic model, one I could afford, and find. They are very hard to come by. What you save in gas and insurance from day one will make up the cost.

  Better than a Cadillac - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By Pat Buckley - February 11 - 8:00 pm

  We are still pleased with our 2002 Prius and had to fly to North Carolina to get a 2006 when the waiting list in NJ was 10 months. Not sorry we gave up our Cadillac.

  Save Save Save - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By Lochel - January 30 - 7:10 am

  A smile all the way. Too many questions from the general public. Everyone is confused about how the car functions. Toyota out did themselves this time. I traded my Cadillac Deville and we are just as comfortable in this car. It has all the bells and whistles we need. We average 45 miles to the gallon. The caddy got 14. Its nice driving by the gas stations we fill up after we put 500 miles on 1 tank and buy 10 to 11 gallons to fill this 12 gallon tank. However ethenol does hurt the mileage.

  Great Car - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By cwsch - January 27 - 7:13 am

  A very good car. Excellent build quality from Toyota. Has lots of pep and handles very well. There is a little more body roll in cornering than most sedans but it is not uncomfortable. Gas mileage is very good but it will flucuate depending on the steepness of the hills that you have to drive over, but still I drive in West Virginia and average between 46 and 55 mpg on the highway at 65 to 75 mph. It also has great aerodynamics and has no handling problems around large semis. City driving is high 50s to 60 mpg. Interior is very roomy with Lexus type build quality with few complaints. The back window takes getting used to but the car comes with a rear camera display for backing.

  This Prius replaced my 2003 Prius; I thought the 03 was ahead of its time, but my new one is just outstanding. I am currently averaging 49.1 MPG, most of which is high speed interstate driving (6000) miles.

  By dave - December 3 - 4:26 pm

  I just purchased the car July of 2006. I have approximately 2000 miles. The MPG seems to be improving. If you stay at 55 mph , the MPG get better. I started at 41.1 MPH, and now I am up to 48.6 MPG, staying at slower speeds. Will update.

  Review - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By FDH - November 29 - 6:33 pm

  I drive this Prius about 200 miles every week. I average about 55 miles to the gallon depending on the wind here in the Texas Panhandle. I averaged over 50 miles to the gallon when we drove to Salt Lake City and back. This trip was about 2000 miles and in the mountains. There was 4 adults in the car besides our luggage. I drove about 70 miles an hour. We just got back from Virginia. We drove 10 hours one day and 16 hours the next day at about 72 miles an hour. There was 5 of us in the car. Three adults and two children plus our luggage, we averaged about 50 miles to the gallon, and this trip was about 4000 miles. I am very happy with my Prius and wouldnt trade it for any car.
