Overview & Reviews

There are no significant changes for the 2009 Toyota Prius.

• Outstanding fuel economy, generous amount of interior space, easy to maneuver in tight spaces, high-tech and luxury goodies available.

• Less powerful and agile than other midsize sedans, uncomfortable for 6-foot-plus drivers, a few disappointing interior plastics.

  My 2009 Prius - 2009 Toyota Prius
  By Dave - February 13 - 8:56 pm

  Okay, so Ive only had my 09 Prius for four days and 200 miles! If this was a preview, then I cant wait until it gets really broken in and the mpg goes up. Saturday we drove 60 miles round trip on flat road and averaged 51.2. Not bad for a rookie.

  Its Not My Saab Aero and Im Glad! - 2009 Toyota Prius
  By jsw - January 25 - 12:43 pm

  Having moved from a 6.5 sec 0-60 very comfortable sedan to a Prius is a lifestyle change that I am willing to accept. However, the Priuss winning suit is because of its technology. Despite the lower ratings I gave, I think it is a remarkable car. We will grow older together.

  Better than expected Performance - 2009 Toyota Prius
  By John - December 31 - 4:10 am

  2009 Prius really could have more comfortable seats with power adjustment but I was very surprised after putting good ice/snowtires how well it performs on the winter roads. I was worried about driving the Prius on the busy Interstate Hwy 5 in California where everyone drives at 80 mph or more but the Prius handles well and performs well with good passing power between 60-80 mph. Pleasantly surprised with the power at the higher speeds compared to other small 4 cylinder cars. I also found the visibility out the back window better than most of the vehicles I have owned.

  Im 6 4" and the front leg room is very tight. It is also a bit narrow. The fit and feel is very good for a mid size car. Its so quiet on start up. Acceleration is slow but reliability should be outstanding.

  Never imagined - 2009 Toyota Prius
  By JC - January 11 - 11:23 am

  Not the typical hybrid owner, but, I love intricate gadgets that make sense and do exactly what is expected and then some and that, is the Prius. You wonder how it can go from so many different modes so seamlessly. I have the Touring which is a little too spirited for a green car, yet, with all that it does on its own, this car very quickly gains its own personality and becomes an object of affection... just cant quite explain it. The bottom line here, out of all the sport/fast/trendy cars I have owned, this Prius is by far the most intuitive machine of them all.

  My Silver 2009 Prius - 2009 Toyota Prius
  By Chessie - January 2 - 2:23 am

  Ive had my 09 Prius for 2 weeks and 400 miles. Ive driven two round trips of 150 miles each and some city driving and have an average of 52.5 MPG so far. Ive read that the mileage goes up significantly after break in. Cant wait!! Feels like Im driving a concept vehicle. Displays and controls are easy to understand and use.

  Problem with highway Steering - 2009 Toyota Prius
  By Wayne - November 28 - 9:43 am

  We brought the car for its great fuel economy and nothing else. The car isnt cute, the ride is not what we were used to but we knew that. We test drove the Prius many times before buying it. But during our first long distance trip (400 miles) we experienced handling problems. The car wanted to move from side to side, I was constantly adjusting the wheel. There were also cross winds during part of the trip, which made things worst. Spoke to my local Toyota Service department and corporate Customer Service, they indicated the car was "Working as designed". My wife refuses to use the Pruis for long distance highway driving.

  Fantastic Vehicle - 2009 Toyota Prius
  By Jim - August 15 - 11:23 am

  Having owned a Porsche and Nissan Pathfinder you would think the Prius would be a major step down. Not so! This car is fun to drive, feels sporty, and handles superbly. Ive even come to like the unconventional appearance of my state of the art gas saver. Instead of taking the other vehicles I find myself jumping in the Prius. Its very comfortable and fun to drive. No fuss, no muss. We went with option #6 and love the features, controls, and surprising roominess. Simply press the button an go! I cant say enough about this car, its fun, has plenty of acceleration when needed, rides quietly and smoothly. The 45 mpg is unbelievable but not the only thing impressive about this car.
