  Clean Green Lean Machine - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By Brad Munger - March 7 - 10:00 am

  Excellent energy efficieny and "super ultra-low emissions car. Pushing 50 mpg actual, this is a smartly engineered, high quality vehicle, with excellent safety features. Well laid-out spacious interior for a compact vehicle, sits four adults comfortably, with adequate trunk space. Safety features ABS, DRL, front- and side-airbags. Adequate power and speed (does 85 mph without problems) with aceptable--but not performace-- handling. Great car for in-town or road trips. Mileage superiority really shines in town.

  BEST OF ALL - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By jsmjr - January 24 - 10:00 am

  I have owned this car since October 2002 and drive about 15,000 miles a year. On average I get around 45 miles to the gallon, and would be getting more if I didnt live in a hilly community. Cant say enough about this car. I have owned many new cars in my lifetime, and this care is fantastic.

  GREAT CAR - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By hoamee - January 17 - 10:00 am

  Best car I have ever owned. Fuel economy different from advertised. I have been getting 50 mpg on highway and 40 mpg in city - opposite of what expected. Dealership service is good. The only bad expereience is buying from the dealership. They are very arrogant and stupid, making it difficult to purchase.

  Need one - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By Mike F. - December 17 - 10:00 am

  My girlfriend has a Prius and i love to drive the car. Not that great if u like to go 0-60 in 6sec. but otherwise the the car is perfect. Who REALLY needs to drive a 6 ton SUV with 300hp, anyway? The speed limit is only 65 and unless u are driving 200miles away going faster doesnt get u to the mall much faster anyway. My only gripe is that altho i want to buy one for myself i cant because it costs 20grand +tax+insuranse costs. How the hell is a college student (with out the assistance of Mommy and Daddy like most rich brats) supposed to get a new one?! Im soooo jealous, i steal my girlfriends car all the time,lol.

  Hybrids are the BEST! - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By awilley - October 30 - 10:00 am

  The Toyota Prius is an amazing vehicle! The Energy & Consumption displays definitely make me feel more connected to my vehicles performance. I find myself doing everything I can to increase my average MPG. My average is about 500 miles per TANK (and with a compact-size tank, it doesnt cost much to re-fuel). Though its more expensive than other cars on the market, I feel this is the best investment Ive ever made! Its a wonderful car and I think everyone should own a hybrid!! Heres to cleaner air and less dependence on fossil fuels...

  worth the wait - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By garmar73 - September 5 - 2:00 am

  I researched the Prius for two years before I bought one. The machine is, I feel, very sound from an engineering point of view and assembled in such a manner that I have not had to return to the dealership for necessary warrenty work, as I have had to with other new cars that I have purchased. I would not drive anything else.

  Im A Believer - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By James C. Harris - July 24 - 2:00 am

  My wife and need maximum fuel economy for our 70 mile round trip daily comute. Our new Prius started with approximately 46 mpg. After the break in at 20000 miles, we are now experiencing 50+ mpg on our daily comute. We are strong believers in the hybrid design. Our driving habits now are geared to maximizing our fuel economy.

  Vesten reviews the 03 Prius - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By Vesten - July 24 - 2:00 am

  Fun, different, and exciting. It is fun getting into a car that told you how your fuel economy was doing as you are driving and how the power is being used with a visual display. It is very different sitting at a stop and feeling the engine just turn off and realizing the car is still running. It is exciting to see how far you can go on a tank of regular gas and challenge yourself to see what your best milage can be.

  Great car - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By mejulia - July 24 - 2:00 am

  I love my little car. It is perfect for all the work related driving I do. Most of my driving is on city streets but my Prius is perfect for the few freeway trips I make. Others are always surprised at how comfortable and quiet it is.
