Overview & Reviews
The 2012 Toyota Prius gets slightly different styling cues along with additional standard infotainment features and the availability of power front seats and Toyota's Entune suite of smartphone and Internet integration features. A new Plus Performance accessory package lends the Prius sharper handling and a sportier, more aerodynamic exterior.

Great car in town or long haul - 2012 Toyota Prius
By Duncan Beardsley - September 10 - 10:42 pmWe loved the mileage - 30,000 miles average 42.7 miles to the gallon on regular. We hadnt anticipated that we would take it on long trips, but have ended up doing so as the car operates so efficiently. We had been told it didnt have any acceleration when getting on a freeway. Not True. He have never felt that there wasnt additional power when we asked for it. Finally with the fold down back seats we have been able to transport all sorts of things that we hadnt expected would fit.

L O V E this car! - 2012 Toyota Prius
By frabjous - May 16 - 4:39 amI purchased the 12 Pkg 4 with the solar sun roof and just love it! I traded in my 04 Chevy Trailblazer XLT for this and will NEVER be going back to an SUV. I thought it would take a little bit to get used to, but that was not the case. Its sporty, its zippy and much quicker to the "get go" than any SUV ive ever driven. Tons and tons of features. I love that it is tiny, but not really. There is TONS of space. I love that I get about 45 MPG instead of 15 (I even got 76 MPG in the Black Hills!) Gas savings are huge! My suggestion is to compare this car to your current car, not to other hybrids. I save over $200/month on gas alone from my previous car. Toyota has been around!
