  A Two-Hybrid Family - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By Ivo Planarian - July 9 - 2:46 pm

  We just got a 2005 Prius to go along with our 2000 Honda Insight, which has given us 121,000 trouble-free miles so far. We got Option Package #6, which is EVERYTHING. Its a true luxo-cruiser, as quiet and smooth as any Lincoln Town Car and with enough techno-spiffy gadgetry to keep anyone amused, including a nifty GPS and a JBL in-dash 6 CD changer, radio and cassette player that sounds better than the stereo in anyones home. The climate control is silent, unobtrusive and draft-free, keeping the interior the temperature you set and all the glass clear totally unnoticeably. I have had no trouble keeping its mileage above 50 city and 60 highway so far without any sacrifices whatsoever!

  2004 Prius is worth the wait - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By Nancy Caskey - June 19 - 10:00 am

  The Prius is so unique and fun. Not only does it make great environmental sense, it is a sure conversation starter. If you do a lot of commuter or in-town driving, this car will help pay for itself, especially if you get reimbursed by your employer for mileage. Do the math...you can count on 50-60 mpg in-town, depending on how you drive. If youre a lead foot, you may get less that 50 mpg. You have to reprogram your driving style. This car gets 45-50 mpg on the highway, because you are running primarily on the combustion engine. Not so bad though compared to most cars! It is definately worth the wait and/or hunt. Get on a waiting list.

  The only problem, is the car is so quiet, my daugher forgot to turn it off in the garage. We noticed the lights on the dash. Excellent small car for driving back and forth to work,

  Ive had the car for six months and have had no problems. The mileage is great and the car is fun to drive. It handles well on the highway and was easy to drive on long trips.

  A fun ride! - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By Steve - May 20 - 5:26 am

  My wife and I purchased this vehicle in the Spring of this year and it is the best vehicle purchase we have ever made. The car gets fantastic gas mileage, fits 4 easily (5 in a pinch), and really has a devoted fan club following. I am 6 3" tall and I fit in the front and back seats without any problems. I thought we might find the car lacking in power, but even in that area I was pleasantly surprised. All in all this car is a wonderfully driving and exceptionally good value given how well it holds its resale value and the great gas mileage. I find myself trying to squeeze every MPG I can out of the tank. Truthfully you will love this car and will wonder why you waited so long to get one!

  Toyota Prius - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By NancyAnderson - May 18 - 2:00 am

  Bought the Prius in December, 2003. It is pure joy. Have put on over 18,000 miles in the past 5 weeks. We like everything about it except a slight sway when the wind is blowing. Love the abundance of storage compartments, including hidden ones. The car performs equally well on long upgrades as on level roads. The Navigation System is exciting. There is a learning curve, though. The keyless entry and start is wonderful. We also like the control buttons on the steering wheel. Also love the placement of the odometer, speedometer, etc. You do not have to take your eyes off the road to check the readouts.

  I replaced a 2002 Infinity QX4 with the new Prius and figure that it saves me about $70- a week in fuwl costs. On top of that its really fun to drive. Has the #9 package and if I had any concern it would simply getting used to the vehicle being so light.I opted for the "Tideland Pearl" and would have preferred a darker interior. I put dark grey sheepskin seatcovers on it.

  A GREAT Car - 2004 Toyota Prius
  By Happydinks - May 18 - 2:00 am

  Were loyal Toyota buyers - and were looking to replace a Tacoma. Saw this car, with the features and for the price and bought it after a 10 minute test drive. It is a great value for the money! Drives great - got the full blown package - so the safty factor of making calls through the car is wonderful. Since we like leather interior - were having the leather kit Toyota has come out with installed. Cargo area is as much as our RX300 - with double the gas mileage! This is an awesome car! Bought it the week before it was named Car of the Year - so only waited 8 weeks for it! Like the tax break too!
