  Love my Prius - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By Meso Arch - July 22 - 10:00 am

  Could not love this car more. While it is true that the milage is not as good as predicted, the milage is still outstanding. Room in the back seat is prodigous, room in the trunk is also very good.

  Eco car rocks - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By Rain Pryor - July 22 - 10:00 am

  I believe in keeping our air clean and having a great time when I drive - The Prius gives me both - its fast on the highways and has great spped and handles well in traffic - I love the fact the Los Angeles times magazine said that the emmissions from the prius are better than the Air we breath in LA most days - Pretty incredible. I hope that soon everyone will have a hybrid - Lets stop our dependence on oil - Go eco!

  Silver Prius - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By MLGiunta - July 22 - 10:00 am

  I have been driving my new Prius for almost 3 weeks now. The mileage is lower than sticker, but more than double my old car. This is the break in period, so I expect more after 600 miles. I love the gadgets and the soft interior. It is definitely a head turner. The climate control is the best in any car Ive ever owned. The styling is unique. I waited 9 months for this car, but it certainly was worth the wait.

  This is the best! - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By nikita1 - July 22 - 10:00 am

  I have to drive an average of 500 miles per week and have always been concerned about fuel consumption and pollution. I owned a Tercel which gave me 40mpg, but when I found out about the Prius, I was one of the first to get it. Since I drive part in the city and part in the Hwy. the car gives me an average of 50+ mpg and it is comforting to know that I am not burning gas when I have to make a stop at a light, since the gas shuts up and the system works only with the batteries. The car has all the computer and Gps features you will find in an expensive Camry. At night, the inside panel lights are in the center,and outside visibility is clear.

  You Wont Believe My Prius - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By Gerard Chapin - July 20 - 2:20 am

  Do you live in New Jersey? Well I do. Do you know its the most densely populated state? Well, I do. There are cars everywhere because we lack the mass transportation network needed and we want the freedom of the automobile offers us. Therefore there are frequent traffic jams. When Im driving my 2004 Toyota Prius I get better mileage when the speeds are slower. So at least if Im not saving time Im at least saving money. The Prius has suprising pickup for highway merging since both the elctical system and the combustion system kick in. Air conditioning runs on the battery which in turn is charged by driving and braking. Mileage has been consistently at 50 mpg in the warm weather. Prius

  Wifes opinion - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By martha scudder - July 12 - 5:33 pm

  As a front seat passenger, I would like less feel of every crack in the road. Leg room, at full stretch, is excellent. Husband loves to drive the Prius. At age 85, he has driven many cars. We are very impressed with speed and pick-up. We often drive to 6500 foot elevation , no problem.

  Youll just have to wait :) - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By Chris T (20-17) - June 27 - 2:00 am

  Its roomy. It turns heads. Its super cheap to run. Theres a waitlist as long as your arm. Ive got one of the few, and Im very happy with it. Fuel economy is great. It corners well, and is sufficiently quick off the mark to keep pace with aggressive SUV drivers. But you may not want to. This is a very relaxing car. I just have no desire to drive it hard (although it responds well enough.) And that for me is the major benefit. Commuting is no longer the misery it was

  A big surprise - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By Bonnano - June 20 - 2:00 am

  Simply impressive. Gas mileage is simply a bonus on the car. It is comfortable. The steering actually feels great. The only issue contributing negatively to the handling I am guessing is the width of the tires but considering how great it is with the stock tires it speaks volumes of the inherent excellence. Comfortable, quiet, very solid, and fun to drive.

  Finally,a car with all the things I want - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By AZstan - June 20 - 2:00 am

  I do not care about "head snapping" acceleration, however, this car has enough. I have read complaints about real world fuel economy versus advertised...but fuel economy is very relative to the driver and driving conditions and does not disappoint me whatsoever. Hatchback design is exactly what we needed to haul around our dogs and stuff.
