Overview & Reviews
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.
- Outstanding gas mileage, low emissions, generous amount of interior room, easy to maneuver in tight spaces, excellent build quality, reasonable price.

Smartest Car Ever Made! - 2007 Toyota Prius
By gary41 - March 28 - 10:26 amAfter 3 years of waiting, finally picked up my Prius a couple of days ago! Gave my 2006 BMW 3-Series to my wife - the Prius is more entertaining to drive. Getting mileage as expected - low to mid 40s, but will go up once car is broken in. Love almost everything about it - only thing I would change is the seats and driving position. Tons of room and cubbies.

Great commuter car - 2007 Toyota Prius
By Maine driver - March 25 - 1:30 amI purchased my Prius new during the warm weather in Maine. Gas mileage is great in temps above 50 degrees, especially on the winding hilly back roads of Maine (50 mpg). During short trips in winter it drops to 30 mpg. Original tires are quiet and help gas mileage but lasted 21K. I chose to go with a different but harder tire-which should last longer but has SIGNIFICANTLY decreased gas mileage to 30-45 mpg. Highway driving averages 42-43 mpg but this auto is very light weight and stability is compromised when driving in windy conditions or when speed reaches above 80mph. The cost to maintain this auto is above average.

Buy This Car!!! - 2007 Toyota Prius
By Lou - March 15 - 3:23 pmI went from a Land Rover Discovery to a 2007 Prius. I never saw myself in a hybrid. The Prius is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It is very comfortable and with 50 mpg average you cant beat the savings at the pump. The technology in this car is amazing. If you can get the navigation and rear view camera buy it, it is well worth it. The bluetooth enables you to recieve and make calls from your steering wheel. The keyless entry and ignition puts this car over the top.

One Cool Car - 2007 Toyota Prius
By mrmustard - February 10 - 4:24 amI have always been fond of any Honda or Toyota vehicle. I have depended on both manufacturers and theyve never let me down. I love the Prius, everything about it. It is enjoyable to drive and performs well on my 60 mile one way commute to work. The handling and responsiveness is is better than average. Fuel economy is outstanding and the consumption monitor has allowed me to correct my gas guzzling driving habits. The ride is smooth and quiet on the highway. Prius and Hybrid Synergy Drive make interesting conversation with friends. I wish I had owned one much sooner. The car is just plain cool.

2007 Touring - 2007 Toyota Prius
By TJ - December 12 - 7:56 pmJust purchased an original owner, 2007 Touring 22k miles, with Package 5. The OEM Bridgestone Turanzas were just about worn out and I replaced them with Michelin Primacys 195/55/16. There are not many tire options with the 16 inch wheels on the touring. Car handles great and is very quiet. Upgraded sound system with 9 speakers and XM is fantastic.

Bad seat but STILL love my Prius! - 2007 Toyota Prius
By Tom - December 8 - 6:33 amThe poorly designed seat notwithstanding, I have over 35,000 miles on my Prius in the first year. It has been a delight to drive and a pleasure to fill up compared to my diesel pick up! Great acceleration, computerized everything and excellent handling make this car more fun to drive than you might think. Handles curvy roads with ease and has more than enough acceleration to pass in any conditions.

I couldnt be happier! - 2007 Toyota Prius
By T - December 2 - 10:50 amI traded in a 1998 Mercedes Benz ML320 for the 2007 Prius Touring edition in Seaside Pearl blue. (Touring has a bigger spoiler, bigger tires and tuned suspension.) I couldnt be happier! Fun to drive, has more pick up than I expected, very comfortable and reliable and, of course, the legendary gas mileage. All my friends made fun of it before they rode in it. Now they love it. I personally like the way it looks and drives. I had mine equipped with leather seats, navigation system, back up camera, JBL audio and Bluetooth. I love the fact that Im reducing my carbon footprint as they say, especially important here in smoggy southern California. Overall, great car!

Love the Prius - 2007 Toyota Prius
By hdparker - November 11 - 3:16 amWe purchased the Prius expecting good gas mileage and got so much more! The car has incredible rear seat leg room and is well thought out. We have had it for a little under a month, and in that time, the worst mileage has been 50.4, tbe best has been 52.5. This is rural/city combination driving.

2007 Prius - 2007 Toyota Prius
By Bob - October 31 - 1:10 pmI have only had my Prius for about 3 months. So far, I have averaged about 51 mpg highway and city combined. Sure beats my old car that got 23 mpg. It seems to get better mpg on just highway driving - about 55 mpg, In just city driving it is more like 45 mpg. Still very good, but not the 60 mpg that Toyota advertises.

A Great gas saver - 2007 Toyota Prius
By Bill - July 20 - 5:16 pmJust after purchase I decided to take a long summer car camping trip from DC through the Rockies (NM to MT), then over to the Sierras and down to LA, then back to DC. 13,000 miles in 7 weeks. Though the Prius isnt optimized for long highway trips, it did very well. 65 mph on cruise yielded 50-52 mpg, 70-75 mph yielded 46- 49 mpg. Hills and mountains hurt mileage. My worst tank was 44 mpg when I had many long steady climbs but the car had more than enough power to climb Slumgullion Pass in Colorado (11,900 feet) without struggling. The steering is a little numb. The car handles okay in curves but isnt agile. Very stable and little affected by wind. Hatchback takes tons of gear easily.
