  From Mercedes to Toyota - 2009 Toyota Prius
  By Bobby - August 21 - 5:56 am

  I cannot say how much I enjoy my 2009 Toyota Prius. I used to drive a Mercedes SUV and never thought of getting used to a smaller car. Honestly I do not miss my SUV or the amount of money that I paid for every service and other things. This car is far beyond of what I expected. I carry same amount of stuffs that I used to carry in the back of my SUV. Just fold the back seats and you got all the room you need. It is a good car for any age group that has a great style. Way to go Toyota.

  Value for Money Finally - 2009 Toyota Prius
  By Happy Prius Owner - January 22 - 11:23 am

  We purchased our new Prius in Dec 08 and promptly drove from Florida to CA and back. 5900 miles with no problems and $125 in gas costs for the entire trip. Since then we have put another 17000 miles on it with NO problems mechanical or otherwise. I am looking forward to purchasing another in the not to distant future. Excellent value for money. Gas mileage after the first 6000 miles went from 47 highway and 49 city to 48 highway and 51 around town. Got to love the savings. Cruising speed is comfortably up to 80 interstate with no significant loss of economy. A pleasure passing the clunkers going over the great divide.

  Best Ecconomy car Availabel - 2009 Toyota Prius
  By George - January 2 - 2:53 pm

  Bought the Prius 1 June 2009. At first I had trouble getting used to the electronic displays, but after driving one week I became accustomed with them. The most important reason for buying the Prius was its reliability, the CVT transmission and the fuel economy. After driving 1400 miles I am averaging 50 miles per gallon overall. In city driving I get about 45 mpg, I live in a hilly area. On the highway I get about 53 mpg. The electronic display help one economize fuel if you desire so.

  Wow! - 2009 Toyota Prius
  By snead_c - March 20 - 10:43 am

  We have passed 1000 miles and I could not be more satisfied with our 2009 Prius Touring. It is quiet, smooth with good driving dynamics, and the fuel economy is wonderful at 47+ mpg on regular gas. Ours has package #5 and its convenience features (voice rec, bluetooth,, JBL etc) make ownership a joy.

  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.

  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.

  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.
