This Year's Model Updates:

The 2007 Toyota Prius lineup gets a little racier, as Toyota adds the Prius Touring model, which has a sport-tuned suspension, 16-inch alloy wheels, foglamps, xenon headlights and a larger rear lip spoiler. The other notable change for 2007 is that the original Toyota hybrid car now comes standard with front-seat side airbags and full-length head curtain airbags.

Pros:
  • Outstanding gas mileage, low emissions, generous amount of interior room, easy to maneuver in tight spaces, excellent build quality, reasonable price.
Cons:

  • Shame on You, Toyota! - 2007 Toyota Prius
    By -

    Please let me begin by saying that it saddens me to have to write this negative review of a company I once thought of as the benchmark in automotive quality, value and to some extent, design. Like many(maybe most?) of you, I thought our 2007 Prius was the greatest car ever invented when we purchased it new 48,500 miles ago. The list of design flaws, there are too many to list here, is long, but the worst and most dangerous of these being the extremely poor quality OE tires, traction control on wet surfaces, poorly lit dash, sloppy handling and difficult dash controls. Ralph Nader might call the Prius the new Corvair. Due to 7 safety recalls, Toyotas resale values have plummeted! Sad.

  • New 2007 Prius - 2007 Toyota Prius

    Just bought our new 2007 Prius two days ago. We were lucky, the person who ordered this car was a no-show. Car was on the lot for about an hour before we lucked out and found our new baby sitting there with its Seaside Pearl paint glistening in the sun. It has the level 5 option package. What a car! I havent smiled this much in years. This car is so technologically advanced it makes other cars seem like ancient history. Its systems work so seemlessly, shifting back and forth from electric to gas and sometimes both, I am amazed. I am 63 and husky and I fit just fine, snug, but fine. Currently getting about 45-48 mpg overall, boy thats nice. I just smirk as I pass gas stations. Love it!

  • I am loving my Prius - 2007 Toyota Prius

    The car rides well. Due to gas prices rising, I knew that I needed to try and get the best for the buck. I have an SUV and a sedan and another small car. My husband and I drive the small car and the Prius. It has plenty of room - Im 61 and comfortable in it. I got the base model. I have had it a week and it appears we made the right choice. We are happy with the car. It has a few small minor issues which it is a 2007, but overall the car was clean! I am looking forward to saving gas, and being able to use that money on another bill. Awesome!!

    Excellent acceleration - achieved 50.4 MPG from Philly to NYC. Average in first year combined 44 mpg. Quiet comfortable in passenger seat. Technology state of the art with keyless start, mpg, back up camera.

  • Great all around car - 2007 Toyota Prius
    By -

    Its a lot bigger than it seems on the outside! Put down the seats and you have a serious flat-bed hauler! We get 48MPG yr over yr average and we live in a cold climate (much heater). Its not a speed deamon but thats not why youre buying it. Weve owned it for 4yrs now and aside from the trunk being stuck when first driving it out of the showroom - no issue whatsoever! If only ALL cars had this (or even close) mileage - still amazes me why in this day and age these numbers are not standard!!! Well worth every penny and would buy again in a heartbeat!

  • Prius is great car - 2007 Toyota Prius
    By -

    Bought the car new (2.5 years ago). I have 47,000 miles without any trouble. Only complaint is an annoying rattle. Im getting around 47 MPG overall. 53 on longer freeway trips. I can get five people in it relatively comfortably (one or two kids) for what it is (day trips). Power is better than most four cylinder cars. It wont beat a corvette, it wasnt meant to. With the back seat folded down it holds a great deal. Toyota delivered what they promised. Id buy one again in a second (after I wear this one out first).

  • Mostly good - 2007 Toyota Prius
    By -

    My Prius is manufactured in Japan, except for the Goodyear tires. Guess where all of my problems have been. With the tires. I had to replace one with a leak through the side wall. Should have been covered by warranty, but it wasnt. They said we must have abused it, which we didnt. Now another tire has a slow leak. I paid $10 to fix it but it still leaks. I add air every 10-12 days. Next time I get Japanese tires. Short trips in Minnesota winter gets me only 36 mpg, but usually I get 46-50. In Hot Springs, Arkansas area I got 55 last year. It likes hills, doesnt like cold. My Camry only gets 31, so it sits.

  • Nice car - 2007 Toyota Prius
    By -

    The front seats of this car are comfortable but they lack the space to move back. The rear seats are very uncomfortable unless you add 5,000 for leather seats and other unwanted options. Mileage was a consistent 44 mpg and on the freeway the engine was straining. The LCD was unneeded and only my kid could figure it out, but overall it is an OK car.

  • Pacesetter - 2007 Toyota Prius

    I became a believer after I drove my nieces Prius! This one is a keeper - it sets the gold standard in technology, economy and technology, and challenges other carmakers to compete! It offered more than what I expected. I am averaging 51 MPG in suburban driving. The car engages you constantly, and actually encourages prudent driving. I have scored one convert so far - my houseguest last night! Get the Touring Model - the heftier wheels, suspension, stability control and back-up camera are well worth the extra grand.

  • A pleasant surprise! - 2007 Toyota Prius
    By -

    If someone told me before I bought this car that it would be fun to drive, I would have laughed. They would have been right. This car is peppy, has a lot of character and is a champion on fuel consumption. Ive ranged anywhere from 39 MPG to 58 MPG with this car. Its got plenty of cargo room and the use of a backup camera has been priceless.
