  Cant Beat the Prius - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By Clogdancer - January 2 - 10:00 am

  I had my pristine 92 XLE Camry ripped off and totalled. I went to my dealership in search for a used Prius. They are rare. One pulled in: Emerald Gold flake. I could not believe our luck. It had every option. It looked new on the interior and exterior. It handles GREAT! Very small turning radius! Plenty of pep. This is not a whimpy Echo. Did you know that going from 30 to 60 MPH, the Prius can beat a Porche? The 2002 Prius is a tried and true design. The example I purchased is quieter than the top-of- the-line Camry XLE, or Avalon.

  Amazing - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By Pegwukguy - October 21 - 2:00 am

  We have driven Volvos for over 20 years and I was VERY hesitant about "downsizing" to a less than luxury car. But SURPRISE! This aint no tin box. It has everything I could possibly want - love the sound system and the technie dashboard and flat panel displays. Great stuff. Handling is superb. Plenty zippy. Had to crank it up to 87 at one point because of traffic flow - no problemmo - pulled like a thoroughbred. Good stuff

  Love my Prius - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By lucky lindy - July 10 - 10:00 am

  This is a great car; quiet, comfortable and efficient. What a difference from the 14 years I had driving a minivan. Love to go to the gas station and get money back!!! I feel I am contributing to the environment with this gas/electric vehicle. Thank you to my ecological daughter for talking me into viewing (and buying on the spot) this wonderful car.

  beautiful and quiet - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By diannen - May 28 - 10:00 am

  The most fun car Ive ever driven. Never tire of being amazed how unique and quiet the car is in its electrical mode when taking off from being stopped. I love how economic and fuel efficient it is -- the dealership was astounded I traded a loaded GMC Yukon Denali for a Prius...Ha! (I do miss the Yukons adjustable lumbar support and heated seats.) I did add leather seats to class it up even more and to make it easy to clean.

  ching ching! - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By kramerica - May 9 - 10:00 am

  Hey, its all about the money, admit it! This is my first car and itll be hard to top this. I wanted a great ride with some great mileage. I purchased my silver prius in july and have gotten a lot of oohs and ahhs. More importantly, Ive gained a couple things. One, incredible gas mileage in a brand Ive come to respect. Two, how much I really drive and my driving style. Those two have resulted in better mileage, savings in money, and a more comfortable ride. In general, a great car for a first time buyer. And if that aint enuff, its super clean and you get a tax break, unbelievable!

  Excellent, Fun, Fast and Fuel Efficient - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By cbmd - April 21 - 10:00 am

  This is the most technologically advanced car on the road and its Honda competitors are not even near the usefulness or speed even though slightly more mileage with Insight. My Prius has had three small problems. Tire wear was the worst, but a tire or wheel change should fix it nicely on the 2004 model. Toyota and the dealer replaced the tires and have done all servicing without any charge.

  I Love My Prius - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By jussmith - February 28 - 11:10 pm

  I have owned a Prius for 2 1/2 years. I love it. I have had no trouble with it. The only time it did not start the temperature was 40 below zero and I really dont think many cars were starting that night. I have had no problems with the car. I would probably get better milage if I lived in a city instead of the country. If I keep my speed to 50 miles/ hr or less i can get 52 miles/gal. But since I drive 40 miles a day to work one way and my speed is between 65 and 70 miles/ hr i"m getting about 45 miles/ gal. the car is wonderful the only thing I would change is that I really like a sun roof and this year did not have one.

  Prius - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By Marie Currie - January 26 - 10:00 am

  I love the car for the car. I also like the benefits. Im in real estate. People may or may not do business with you based on the car you drive. The Prius crosses all monetary barriers and is suitable to ALL my clients... the wealthy and humble. If you drive too nice a car some dont want to deal with you since they think you make too much money. If you drive a clunker you are not successful enough. Perfect choice.

  Meryl Streep is right! - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By donallen - November 6 - 2:00 am

  Meryl Streep (who owns a one) asks "why doesnt everyone drive a Prius?" Toyota engineering brilliance has seen to it that theres no sacrifice to getting 50 mpg. This is a solid, comfortable, roomy, powerful, well-made sedan that delivers the mileage Toyota says it will.
