    I have yet to get over 39.7 mpg and have driven approx. 5000 miles. Another concern is the fuel gage, when indicator gets down to the next to last one and I go and fill up I can only put about 7.5 gal of gas in it and I have only gone about 295 miles. I owed a 2001 prius and got around 43miles on a tank and went approx. 485 miles before filling up and with the increased mileage as advertised that is why I bought the 2004.

    My daughter had purchased one in November and was so happy with it I drove to a dealer in MD to buy it since NY/NJ dealers had none.

    It is a delight to drive. Appointments are well chosen. Drives like a larger car and handles effortlessly. MPG getting better as we add miles. Recommend it without reservation.

  • A++++++ car I am so happy I bought Prius - 2004 Toyota Prius

    You wont be negoiating the price on this one anyway so go to Fleet Sales. It is a marvelous car. You cant get all the color choices on the Westcoast. I bought silver and I like it but if you want Red sorry! It is a SIMPLE car to drive with Smart Start and push on ignition. My milage in combined city/hwy is 42 mpg and I am not complaining! You CA NOT run the car on electricity ALONE you must have SOME gas all the time. The interior is comparable to my old Camry. By the way, the acceleration on the 04 is MUCH improved compared to the 03 I test drove. Many 03 owners may want to dump their 03s to get an 04 so GET AN 04.

  • New 2004 Prius - 2004 Toyota Prius

    I have owned two Prius cars. The first was a 2001. The new one is even more fun, which I did not think was possible. Easy to drive, does well in snow, and I love the new Hatchback design.

  • Great car - 2004 Toyota Prius

    Looking at the outside the car looks small but inside it is really roomy. Great fun to drive!

  • More than a Toy - 2004 Toyota Prius
    By -

    I have thoroughly enjoyed my Prius. I drive about 50 miles total every day to and from work with combined city/highway miles. Currently (Apr. 2005) I am getting 55.4 mpg and loving it. It makes me feel good that my car releases so few pollutants and is still a VERY practical car to own and drive. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a new car to at least consider a Toyota Prius. Its roomy inside, stylish outside and a whole lot of fun to drive! Its dependability is "Totally Toyota".

  • very cool and fun on screen display - 2004 Toyota Prius
    By -

    After 14 weeks to ordered from longest line up. I am fall love to Pruis 04 very nice ride and very comfort seat like Camry. I got 47.4 mpg on computer screen dispaly on 130 mile since I pick new car up last July 13, 2004 and save my money for gasoline! I love to play and touch screen display. Very cool sharp hatchback and big cargo space when rear seats folding down. Only rear window wiper and floor mats that is all I need. I wish all Toyota dealer have Pruis 2004 in stock; because of very high cost of gasoline.

  • Review! - 2004 Toyota Prius
    By -

    It is a great car. It is very gratifying to save the environment and save money. There is plenty of power to drive the steep WV mountains on the interstate. I have plenty of passing power. I especially like the "blue tooth" key system. I can keep the key in my briefcase and never have to remove it!
