  • highly impressive - 2004 Toyota Prius
    By -

    Wonderful engineering,quiet and solid, almost unnoticable transitions of engine systems (how did they do that?). The car is surprisingly roomy, and one gets the feeling of driving a bigger car. In all, there are virtually no compromises in ride quality and performance when driving this green car.

  • Great car - 2004 Toyota Prius
    By -

    I love this car. I was expecting sluggish pickup and was pleasantly surprised that it accelerates fine and I routinely find myself surprised that Im moving along at 80MPH without realizing it. Ive driven it on the highway and even in the Appalachian mountains it was fine.

  • I will never buy a non hybrid again - 2004 Toyota Prius

    We average between 45 and 50 mpgs. Great little car. Plenty of room inside for four adults. No complaints at all. Wife loves it also.

  • Cant believe its a hybrid! - 2004 Toyota Prius
    By -

    This is one sweet car! Forget the fact that the gas mileage is unbelievably good. This car feels like luxury on wheels. Of course I got the package 9 which comes with all the bells and whistles, but I would imagine even the lower packages are awesome. The car handles incredibly well, the interior is incredibly roomy- even the legroom in the backseat. And whenever I go out of town, I cant wait to get back home so I can drive it again!

  • New car for a new generation - 2004 Toyota Prius
    By -

    I am a big fan of the new Toyota Prius for more reasons besides the great fuel economy, but for the many features that can only be found on the highest end luxury cars. The Prius has the smart entrance system is really handy for us key fumblers. Has an auto dimming mirror which stops the annoying person behind you from blinding you with his lights. Finally, the navigation system will keep you from getting lost no matter where you are. I give this car a Perfect 10 out of 10.

  • Prius Impressions after 3K miles - 2004 Toyota Prius
    By -

    After driving and washing and some interior disassembly for the purpose of Scothgaurding components I have come to some conclusions about the Prius. It is an inexpensive "econobox" type of car with high end electronics and gadgetry and the most sophisticated power train available in any car at any price. The seats are moderatly uncomfortable for my 510" 240 lb frame. And the interior construction and materials are kind of cheap. But all this is offset by only having to add gas every other week, instead of weekly or more often in Toyota Camry it replaced.

  • Awesome - 2004 Toyota Prius
    By -

    My wife and I really love our 2004 Prius. Toyota Prius is the best car I have ever owned, air conditioning runs on the battery which in turn is charged by driving and braking. Mileage has been consistent at 50 mpg. Plenty of room and storage. Excellent quality. Excellent handling. The quality of these cars is impressive by itself, but the clean emissions make it outstanding. Great car! Highly recommended. Nothing bad to say. Good performance, lots of torque going up hills

  • Love My Prius - 2004 Toyota Prius

    Great Performance, fun to drive & reliable. Drove from Florida to Chicago twice, back through the mountains of Tennessee, and throughout Florida with my wife & dog. Enjoy the ride as much or more than with my old Lexus, or various Mercedes.

  • Big surprise - 2004 Toyota Prius
    By -

    This car is amazing in its perfomance!

  • Perfect Car - 2004 Toyota Prius
    By -

    I have over 148,000 miles now and havent had a single problem with the car except the MFD which was covered under warranty. The front brakes pads look extremely healthy still although the back brake shoes will likely need replacement within the next 30,000 miles. Easily, very easily, the best car I have ever owned; I have never been happier with any car and I have had more than 20 in my 40 years of driving!
