  sad - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By Fayjie - November 3 - 10:00 am

  Toyota took something that actually works. and made it ugly,in my oppinion. I am certain they did not intend to but the appearence remains that in an attempt to make something look air dynamic they put a point on the hood, nose, of the vehicle that just as well might be a mustashe on the Mona Lisa.It really was not needed.

  Love my Prius! - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By Mary White - October 17 - 4:06 am

  The only drawback, as far as we can see, is that the paint job is pretty cheap. We have experienced some chips on the hood already, and it is only three months old. Otherwise, I am really happy with this car. Great mileage, neat-o design, lots of room and comfortable to boot. I have not experienced any of the "stalling" problems that we have heard about. Even my father, a senior citizen who is partial to pick-up trucks, likes it and wants one. A great buy.

  This is the best car ever! Its replacing a Volvo V90, a big station wagon, and I dont miss a thing. My husband, my son and I ride into town together every day [saving more gas] and always have room to spare for our stuff. The car feels solid, looks gorgeous and our gas expense averages $15/week [and we have a 20 mile daily commute--each way]. Im paying this car off as fast as I can so we can start paying for another one!

  Economical and fun! - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By Dan H - October 5 - 1:23 pm

  Weve only driven the Prius for 5000 miles, but love it more every day. We chose option pkg 4 to get the safety items. Now that the weather is getting warmer in Pittsburgh and the car is getting broken in, were averaging 48 in combined (congested) suburban/ highway driving. Our only concern is the FWD in our winters, but we kept a Subaru as a snow car.

  Best Car I have EVER Owned - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By Dena - October 4 - 10:03 pm

  In St. Thomas, we have mountains, curves, scarcely a level highway on the island. The Prius maneuvers all this as well as my Buick LeSabre, but I fill the tank only once a month, instead of three times a month. Gas mileage here is around 32 mpg. I love my Prius.

  Lots of Room - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By Jerome - October 2 - 10:20 am

  My husband plays acoustic bass and I have a wheelchair. With the rear seats folded down we have room for the bass, amplifier, other instruments and my wheelchair. Then we get 52 mpg driving in the mountains to get to music jobs. The car feels solid, the interior is very ergonomic, and all of the amenities that are standard make the car very comfortable.

  We bought this car because we wanted to drive a car that did as little damage to the environment as possible. It has surprised us by how luxurious it is (compared to our last car). The seats are really comfortable. There is leg room for both front and back seat passengers. We have another car that we will be replacing in two years. As of now, we are planning for that car to also be a Prius.

  The Prius is the best - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By Gayle Fleming - September 21 - 1:23 pm

  Within a few days of buying the car I drove 405 miles to Charlotte NC from Arlington, Virginia and didnt fill the tank until I got there. Keep in mind that the tank is only 10 Gallons. I usually pay about $17 to fill it up--and gas is over $2 per gallon. I love the way the car drives. I feel like Im in a luxury car, so smoothe and comfortable is the ride. The size is great and 5 people can ride comfortably.
