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.

  its okay but ... - 2007 Toyota Prius
  By sparkyshan - July 18 - 10:00 am

  We originally purchased this for my wife. We have since bought her a new car and I inherited it. I am 62" and I have found that the seat does not go back far enough for me. I am too close to the steering wheel for comfort. For short rides, its okay, but anything over an hour and I am uncomfortable. Does get good mileage, which helps. To be honest, if I werent upside down on the amount owed vs value, I would sell it and get a Subaru Outback.

  Fuel efficient - 2007 Toyota Prius
  By subarudavis - May 26 - 7:29 am

  30k miles on the car now, running strong. I like the car, it has good audio, comfortable seats (not electric though), roomy, and most of all its economical to run. My insurance gives me a break because its a hybrid, I pay a lot less for gas, and it is reliable. These features save me money but I am a little angry at toyota for making it so hard to change headlights, I had to bay a few hundred because the whole front bumper needs to be taken off to get to the HID lights on the touring model. No mechanical issues, one electrical issue with cd player not working, and the GPS is horrible. Not very fun to drive and not powerful. I get about 45mpg overall.

  Problems with Our Prius - 2007 Toyota Prius
  By Ken Horn - May 8 - 12:13 pm

  We have had repeated electrical issues resulting in the dash going blank. This has happened repeatedly and the car has been in 4 times in 20,000 miles for the same issue. Very frustrating. This is a safety issue, try driving at night with the dash electrical system all out. It gives no warning it still appears to not be corrected. My Ford has been much better quality.

  Alls OK @ 65,000 miles - 2007 Toyota Prius
  By shihchi - April 29 - 12:35 pm

  Bought new 4 years ago. Avg. 50+ mpg summer, appx. 47 in Midwest winter. At 6, I find legroom a bit tight. Have driven in 6" snow storms and rain with no problems. Its not as fun to drive as my Mustang GT was, but its not boring. Have had no quality issues. Have been through all of the recalls. All in all, its just what we thought it would be when we bought it. Not sure why everyone says hybrids cost a lot....sticker was 22,000 and we got it for 18,700....a lot cheaper than many non-hybrids back then. Feels good to get such good MPG now and back in 2008 when gas skyrocketed.

  Not What I Expected - 2007 Toyota Prius
  By New England - April 6 - 6:26 pm

  Purchased new in early 07, & was initially disappointed car only got 38-39 mpg. Salesman didnt mention anything about needed to learn to drive differently, or art of hypermiling. No one said this when they were hyping 61 mpgs on sticker. Not right. Terrible in snow or slick surfaces even w/traction control, & even after replacing odd size OEM tires with better tires. Feels like youre "slipping" when braking over potholes. Can be scary. Disappointed had to learn to drive like a lilol granny to feel somewhat safe in this vehicle. Though driving this slowly reaps 52-54 mpg during spring & summer months. Probably a very good car if one lives in hot, dry climate but not New England.

  Good fuel mileage - 2007 Toyota Prius
  By SSG JOE - March 11 - 3:00 am

  I average 44 mpg all the time and about 38 mpg with winter gas. I have got as high as 65 mpg. But 44 mpg seems to be the normal for normal driving (20% less than listed). The car is fun to drive but not for a very long trip. I drive it about 8 hrs everyday M-F, & the seats are not comfortable enough. I love the power up windows, cup holders, on board touch screen PC. I dislike the reverse back alarm, short leg room and the delay to shift into gear. I have noticed it lunges forward when the motor kicks in sometimes. It is great for holding a lot of stuff but is still a car.

  I love my 2007 GEN2 Prius - 2007 Toyota Prius
  By griffycprius - February 15 - 1:30 am

  I love my 2007 GEN2 Prius. It is an amazing car for what it is. It is now a luxury car, it is not sexy, it does not pick up chicks. However it does cost nothing to drive and is a great car. I use it for surfing, biking, etc and love it. The one main issue is the drivers seat legroom. I am 65 and it didnt work.

  Id buy another! - 2007 Toyota Prius
  By Bill - December 22 - 4:06 pm

  I bought this vehicle after my 3rd $1200 VW Passat repair bill in 6 months. I fell in love with the turn radius, handling, pickup in the city on the test drive. The inside feel is as if the car has wrapped itself around you in a cocoon of quiet. The first time I pulled up to a stop sign, there was utter silence! I am continually surprised at what you can get in the back with the second seat folded down- it folds flat! I also own a Mazda Miata and I prefer driving the Prius!

  Prius is a winner - 2007 Toyota Prius
  By jimsimpson - April 15 - 6:40 am

  Bought my Prius as ex-demo with 670mls in Dec 07. Now have 8150 and got over 50 mpg(US)/62(UK) with last 6 tanksful, best mpg in summer and cruising under 60. Thats about 20% thruway/80% city and suburbs. Hard ride on 195/55/16s but comfortable and quiet. As usual its very reliable and well-built. Im sold on this one but look forward to the bigger, better 1.8.
