  Great car, but poor interior trim - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By toy4pat - March 19 - 1:50 am

  Love the car, love the mileage. Hate that little things are constantly happening with the interior paint. Chips on the garage door opener button on the mirror caused the entire mirror to have to be replaced. Poor fit of doors and dash board is causing paint to rub off both. Poor dealer prep.

  I love my Prius - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By victorious - March 13 - 10:00 am

  I traded in my 2001 Ford Escape for a new Prius and it was the best thing I ever did. I drive about 80 miles a day all freeway and some in town and this car really moves. I wave goodbye as I pass the gas stations having saved about 200.00 a month a least in gas with my gas hog Escape. The Prius handles effortlessly and it has more than enough pick up and power. It keeps up with and passes up the big SUVs and trucks. I live in a huge city so parking is a dream. Clearly this is the best and smartest investment I could have made. Needless to say I will never go back to a gas unefficent vehicle again as Im spoiled for life with my Prius.

  Being real - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By Pianodr - March 13 - 10:00 am

  I first became interested in the Prius after a visit to my dentist left me in the chair for close to 4 hours. I happened to read the Motor Trend review article on the new design and decided to go look at one. I drive close to 30K miles a year. I have worked in the automotive industry in the past, so I knew not to expect that mind-blowing 61 mpg. I wanted to double the 20-22 mpg that I got on my Buick. Ive done a little more than that and loved every second. Its a fun car to drive, and Im looking forward to more Hybrid cars homing out in the future. Ill definitley buy another one.

  Its all mine - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By Jeri Waterloo - March 13 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car because of the 60 mpg it was supposed to get... it does get about 46 mpg and once it got up to 51 mpg .. that is the only complaint I have with this car. I even showed at two local car shows in the import class and brought home two trophies. It is a fun car to drive and handles well at all speeds.

  One of a Kind - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By frank albert - March 13 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Prius, it is a outstanding automobile. Gas milage that exceeds 50mpg and best fit and finish I have seen in years. It drives like a sports car and has hatchback features like a 50K SUV. Also has a tax break for its hybrid design. Motor Trend and Consumer Reports were on target to select the 2004 Prius, CAR OF THE YEAR

  6 3" Prius Fan - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By Paralaxed - March 13 - 10:00 am

  This car makes all others obsolete. My girlfriend and I bought it since we have two homes 100 miles apart, Fuel cost is really not an issue for us but it just seemed so wasteful. We were sooo surprised at how much we LOVE the Prius!! Its a blast and we have some other high end cars but we always drive the Prius. Pros: Fun, fuel economy, space and style. Cons: Rear spoiler blocks view

  Prius, a great car! - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By edventa - March 13 - 10:00 am

  The Prius is fun to drive and has proven to save gas, though not as much as advertised. Perhaps 50 mpg.

  I like it a lot! - 2005 Toyota Prius
  By kenpassaic - March 9 - 6:23 pm

  This is a comfortable, peppy car that delivers the typical 5 miles per gallon less than epa, but is untouched by any other 4 door on the road. Besides, its fun to watch the battery come into play when other cars would be burning gas!
