  Love it, its a hybrid that I can live with. Its easy on the road, and easy on the enviroment. Its a car for the future. Its a car for the now. It shames the Suvs, even though the people in them dont know it.

  Biggest, Cheapest, Efficient Car Yet! - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By clunyusa - October 16 - 10:00 am

  All around the Prius wins! A small footprint on the environment coupled with performance, interior room, including high seats and head room.

  The best car Ive ever bought - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By diesel power - April 10 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my 03 after test driving the 04 model. I bought the 03 as 6ft tall adults can fit in the back, something not possible in the new model. I now have 16k miles on my car, and Ive had 0 warranty issues with this car. Lifetime fuel economy so far is 46.8 mpg. This number keeps climbing. Toyota has brought us the future of automobiles. The rest of the industry needs to take notice, or risk being left to oblivion. I routinely drive over 35k miles annually. Ive driven this car on a 3200 mile round trip from Dallas TX, to Haliburton, Ontario, and back. Its performance was nothing less than stellar.

  Completey satisfied - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By Maine-iacs - April 2 - 6:50 am

  We have tracked mileage for every tank of gas, averaging 53 mpg all around during summer months and 44mpg during winters. We do a 44mile commute each workday at 55-60mph. Two riders with total weight of 290lbs. We see no signficant drop in mileage when on the interstate at 70-75 mph. We plan to purchase another

  The future of all cars - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By NMpriusman - March 22 - 10:00 am

  The Prius has done nothing, but lived up to every expectation I had, and even surpassed them. It is a fine machine, worth the small extra cost, and its a wonder that more people dont drive them. I achieve 55 mpg in the city, and 43 on the highway. The trunk is a little small, but can carry all of the recycleables. All my friends think its an awesome car, so do I. The CVT transmission is seamless, and the interior is beatiful. I will only buy hybrids from now on until, there are no- gas cars. Absolutely a dream.

  Better than Advertised - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By prius driver - March 5 - 2:00 am

  The Prius is dead-on reliable. It has been my every day driver for two full years now and it has averaged about 51 miles per gallon. It does inspire me to try to squeeze every extra mile I can out of each tank of gas, but when I need to be in a hurry it rises to the occation for that, too, while still getting excellent economy.

  Mr. Economy - 2003 Toyota Prius
  By Steve L - December 15 - 10:00 am

  This automobile is very comfortable ahd quiet. My average fuel economy is 44 mpg with the majority of trips being 3.5 miles to and from work. I have read other reviews of the cars poor handling but I find those views to be untrue. This car hugs the twisties and is very predictable in its responses. Power is marginal but adequate. Passing power band is acceptable with a top speed of 104 mph on level road. Top mpg Ive gotten was 53. The feel of the car is much larger that its footprint suggests. The car I was going to get before looking at the Prius was a Mini Cooper. Glad I got the Prius though I still have the "motoring" philosophy.
