  Toyota Wisdom?? - 2016 Toyota Prius
  By Jan Mayes - January 26 - 3:41 am

  Please tell me why... ~one cannot get a Prius Four Touring with a sunroof? (Trying to buy a four and build up is not a good option...so far the lights are not available. Also the 17 in wheels are not available for the Prius Four.). ~there are a white console (urinal?) and white steering wheel accents? (The designer who thought this was a great idea needs a new job, as do the execs that approved it.) ~There are only options for two or three displays on the navigation screen. (The split screen on the navigation system is a pain. An option for having just one display should be added to the two and three display options.) This is my fourth Prius (1st, 2nd, and 3rd gens over 14 years). The 3rd gen is still my favorite, basically because I could get everything I wanted on the car (sun roof, plus package, ground effects, etc.)

  First time Prius owner - 2016 Toyota Prius
  By sheila m - October 19 - 10:11 pm

  As a first time Prius owner, Im hooked. It does take getting used to and I havent learned all the features yet. Getting gas comes every couple of weeks instead of weekly. Its so quiet, I few times I left it running and only realized it when it beeped me as I walked away. Its a push button power-no keys. Im hooked.

  57.3 MPGs - 2016 Toyota Prius
  By anthony tortorella - October 16 - 3:08 pm

  great car that drives like a dream. roomy and very comfortable. great gas mileage no worries about comparison pricing for gas. Just go almost 600 miles on this tankful and it cost me $20.00 for gas @ $1.85 a gallon in NJ. Mileage above the expected rating. Love the fact that it tells me and rates my driving and how to maintain great gas mileage. held the road in a driving rain storm last night.

  My third Prius - 80mpg? - 2016 Toyota Prius
  By Texas Prius Guy - July 16 - 3:26 pm

  My third. Loved the old ones, but this one is a different animal. While not a hard core hyper-miler, where the old model got 60 mpg, this one clocks 80 mpg on the same circuit. Significant changes where EV mode kicks in, even as high as 61 mph! Ride and power are massively improved. Toyota is still the king of hybrids with the Prius being the crown jewel.

  Even happier with our second Prius! - 2016 Toyota Prius
  By suz - July 11 - 7:18 pm

  We found the restyled Prius to be quite comfortable and are delighted that the gas mileage is even better than what we got with our 2010. We opted for the advanced technology package in order to add the safety features-lane departure alert, adaptive cruise control, etc.-and we are happy to have done so. (Our insurance rates are actually lower than what they are for the earlier Prius based on those safety features.) The car rides smoothly and easily and is a pleasure to drive. Neither of us was crazy about the white plastic console which looks cheap. Note too that the wireless car charging port wont work with an iphone 6 plus. Finally, we purchased the Level 3 trim because that is the highest level that is available with a spare tire. I, personally, would not buy a car that offered only a repair kit that might or might not be sufficient in an emergency.

  Prius 4 Touring a treat! - 2016 Toyota Prius
  By Bryn James - May 19 - 4:25 pm

  Read all the specs before shopping. I spend 10-12 hours doing research but it was worth it. The Prius is not one car; there are many models and one more is forthcoming by the end of 2016. In the beginning I was confused. Prius C, Prius Persona, Prius Two, Prius Three, Prius Three Touring, Prius Four, Prius Four Touring (my choice), Prius V. This car was purchased for my 18 year-old daughter who is in college in Marin County California so her priority was mileage. The Prius cant be beat in this category. I wanted safety included so I chose the safety features of the Prius Four Touring. The lane deviation warnings and the breaking features. The internet has charts comparing the features so be sure and find out which model is best for your needs. The car gives you a tutorial after you drive it. My first drive from the lot was from 4 miles to 6 miles. The lesson: you can get better mileage if you dont accelerate so quickly. Ouch! Lesson learned. The trim lines of the car and those unique tail lights that stand out at night on the 2016 model are classy. We also bought her the tire and wheel warranty, Cilajet coating and the maintenance plan. Check the prices of options with the finance manager. That increased the price about $4,125. We got a $2,000 credit and 1.9% 5-year financing. The paid for price includes all options, sales tax, license and processing fee. It is the out the door price. The MSRP was $32,964. By the way, my daughter loves her new Prius. She has some wheels to go with that 3.7 GPA. The father is a happy man.

  Third Time is Still a Charm - 2016 Toyota Prius
  By James Jeffries - May 15 - 12:56 am

  This is my third Prius. Yes I love the car and look forward to new things each time I buy. This Prius is the best ever in terms of performance and styling I am actually getting over 55 MPG and when on the road I dont baby it. We love the new interior with its new sporty look and what they did to the exterior is great. All in all we are sold on Prius. Before Prius I always bought American but they simply can not match Prius

  By Terry - May 5 - 2:58 am

  How can Toyota come out with such a great cat with one big flaw.. the seats for long distance driving are the worst of any car I have owned. we latterly crawl of the car after a long road trip. this is the reason I will get rid of it asap. will get less millage but better seating in something rather than this. (have owned 5 Toyotas.

  Impressions after the first week - 2016 Toyota Prius
  By Sportrides - May 3 - 4:53 pm

  I had driven the previous Prius model in hopes of going hybrid, but walked out of the dealership thinking Id rather be bathed in honey and thrown in a mosquito infested swamp than drive that thing every day. The dynamics were awful, steering was numb, the interior was drab and I overall hated it. So you could say I was skeptical about the 2016, especially since its not exactly easy on the eyes. I have to say, I am totally impressed with this vehicle and genuinely enjoy driving it. The ride is comfortable. The steering and handling are more than adequate. The trunk is perfect for carrying all of our baby stuff and groceries around in. The transition between gas/electric is seamless. The AC has been great in the current 96 degree weather. Were averaging 49 MPG but are only 90 miles into it, with AC cranked, so I expect that to increase as we learn to drive our new car/spaceship/computer. The rear seats are a little tight, but are comfortable and the Moonstone interior is really nice.
