  By George Szpak - September 30 - 12:16 am

  Comfortable drive, however small steering wheel is cause for sensitive steering. Loss of trunk space I had in previous Saturn cars.

  We want to buy two now. It is everything we needed in a car. The gas mileage is not as advertised but it is better than anything we have had before. Great car!

  This has been an AMAZING CAR!! - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By priusmatt - September 5 - 2:00 pm

  I have had my 2006 Prius V for a year and a half and just had to write a review because it has been such a wonderful car. I bought this car in May 10 w/ 80k miles on it and was a little worried at first because of the high miles. I ended up getting a smokin deal & the only fixes that this car has needed has been an A/C fan regulator, front light bulbs, and the typical oil change, brakes, tires. I now have 122,000 miles on this car (I drive about 3,000 miles a month) and man, what an excellent car! I have range 55-70 mpg (yes 70!) here in Phx. So, if you are considering used, go for it! This is a GREAT CAR that runs well as the miles get up there. Trading for an 11 Prius this month!

  THE Best Video Game on Wheels - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By PriusInPA - July 19 - 5:00 pm

  A driving experience that really grows on you: started out great & just gets better & better each day. The darned Consumption display is addictive - and a wonderful driving lesson for kids (and parents). You get competitive with that display/video game, resulting in better driving. The seats are comfortable but power adjustment (@ least for driver) would help w/ leg room and thigh support. Interior room is surprisingly large. Gas mileage started out OK (51) and has been getting better, but high-speed highway travel just sucks petrol. Performance is adequate (or better if ya stomp on it). Aerodynamic design, but strong gusty cross-winds can still wiggle the car a bit. Great fun, great car!

  Love it. Drives like a champ. Great gas mileage. I was a little skeptical of hybrids, but I love this car. More room than I thought.

  Every EE needs one of these - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By Jerry Hudgins - July 6 - 5:03 am

  This is the only hybrid on the market I recommend to all my colleagues. The electrical systems in this vehicle are remarkable. The car handles great and has better traction on wet and icy roads than some all wheel drive vehicles Ive driven. I fight my wife daily over who is going to drive the car!

  Fun to Drive - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By katway - July 1 - 5:53 am

  Absolutely the most fun to drive car Ive owned. Ive owned sports cars, SUVs, etc. But this one takes the cake. Im always eager to take the car out for a spin, run errands, etc. It has a nice ride, is comfortable, roomy, and really a complete all around good vehicle.

  6 Year / 100K Mile Update - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By fido1 - June 27 - 10:22 am

  A quick update... The car is still running great after almost 100K miles. Items replaced - tires, wipers, front light bulbs (I drive with them on all the time), water pump (covered by my 100K extended warranty), and a recall for the hybrid coolant system tank, air filters, plugs, and serpentine belt, and full coolant change out (I do everything early). Live in New England - get 47 mpg in spring, summer, fall, and 44.5 mpg in winter driving. Based on last oil change, estimate that I still have 35% of brake pads left. Will be replacing my floormats soon, driver side wore out.

  Great Car! - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By Tommy - June 21 - 10:50 pm

  If you want the most bang for your buck, this is the car I would recommend. I purchased the car with the cheapest package (base Model) and it comes with great features. Nothing to complain. I average about 45 MPG and be able to drive about 450 miles per tank. Great for commuting. Being able to use the steering wheel to control the A/C and radio is a uge bonus. There are only 2 things that I do not like. One is the power, a little harsh on steep hills and the other will be the stereo. The speakers arent that very good on the base model. Well those are just my small complaints. I hope all of you enjoy the car as much as I do. Be careful in parking lots since pedestrians cannot hear you

  my first toyota prius - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By pete bogumill - June 3 - 10:26 pm

  I am tired of the fact that gas prices are forever climbing so I bought a Toyota Prius. I love the car. Its fun to drive and it is a well made car. I am averaging approx 50 m.p.g. so far this summer. I have about 6000 miles on it now and I have no regrets. I hope toyota keeps their quality forever. I couldnt be more happy with this Toyota Prius. Thank you.
