  Gas mileage is REAL - 2017 Toyota Prius
  By Prius lover - May 18 - 4:14 pm

  Purchased a new Prius Two Eco and just finished the first tank of gas... 56 MPG! You cannot beat this car for operating cost. Extremely comfortable to drive and ride as a passenger, far more leg room (and cargo room) than would be expected. At this point, Im thrilled!

  Recent purchase after VW diesel buyback - 2017 Toyota Prius
  By lifeisahighway - February 23 - 4:56 am

  I just purchased the Prius Four trim with both the Adavnced Tech and Premium Conveinence package after the VW diesel buyback of my Golf TDI. I LOVE this car! In anticipation of the VW buyback, my husband wanted to look at the Prius this past summer. I had never previously been remotely interested in the boring, awful to drive last generation model. Reluctantly, we went for a test drive; but to my surprise I loved it! Granted, the car doesnt have the immediate torque off the line like my Golf had; but the Prius is so comfortable. It has the best seats Ive ever sat in for a car! I love the technology features! The auto high beams and dynamic radar cruise control are my favorite features. The only negatives for the car would be that I wish it handled a little better and that Toyota would allow the fog lights at least to be an option with the Four trim. In order to get the sunroof, you have to sacrifice the fog lights and the 17inch wheels. The car still handles well, but its not quite as fun as my Golf was; but I think other drivers who arent as picky as me, will be very happy with it. The smoothness over road imperfections with the double wishbone rear suspension along with the miles per gallon more than make up for it! No matter what others say, I love the unique design. I am glad that Toyota made a bold design change. It doesnt look like all the other cookie- cutter cars on the road. Im officially a Prius convert, and I NEVER thought I would say that!

  Toyotas most important product and it shows - 2017 Toyota Prius
  By Owner - March 10 - 4:14 am

  This surprisingly roomy vehicle gets great fuel economy, is comfortable, and has very high feature content at any price point. The positives are easy, here are some negatives that might not be apparent: (1) No memory seats, which is nice with multiple drivers; (2) Audio does not adjust adequately to ambient noise; (3) interior is on the noisy side; (4) No spare tire on the Touring trim; (5) no automatically closing hatch; and (6) mediocre thigh and lumbar support for taller drivers.

  The Prius moves up in styling and performance. - 2017 Toyota Prius
  By Cliff Detz - August 13 - 8:09 pm

  The cars handling is a major improvement over that of my previous 2005 Prius. The exterior styling is bold and original. It is an improvement over the stale styling of previous model years. The interior passenger space provides a large amount of room for a small car. It is more comfortable than many larger sized vehicles, and for me the seats are comfortable and provide good support. The car is very quiet inside, a major improvement over my older model. The transition from battery mode to gas engine mode and vice versa is seamless and silent.The audio system produces excellent sound and is easily balanced between front and rear. Visibility ,however, could be better. The front windshield posts still result in blind spots in the front corners visibility fields, but a bit less so than in my older model. The head rests on the rear seats obscure visibility out of the back and rear corners. I am thankful for the rear view camera. The basic instrument read outs are conveniently located and easy to read. There are a multiple of views for monitoring fuel economy and other performance parameters which are available by scrolling through a large number of screen views using buttons and arrows an the steering wheel. These are interesting but confusing, and they create a major distraction if one attempts to change views while driving. It is best to find the view you like before starting to drive. The voice recognition technology is very poor, particularly if one is used to Siri or Googles voice recognition. Getting it to provide navigation directions is an exercise in frustration, and I find myself defaulting to the map apps on my mobile phone. Toyotas Ensue applications system is a puzzle at best. One wonders why Toyota did not opt to use Apple Car or another system from a technology provider who knows how to build these systems so that they are convenient, intuitive and helpful. The Navigation app in the car suffers from the poor voice recognition system, and there appears to be no other way to enter information into it. The vehicle comes with a daunting multi inch thick manual which I have yet to crack open. However, I think that the operation of these systems should be intuitive. The car is equipped with lane departure warning which works well. It also has collision and pedestrian avoidance systems. However, for obvious reasons one cannot test these until hey are actually needed. I have not had the car long enough to rate its reliability and service requirements, but based on my previous experience with a Prius and other Toyota models, I am expecting a very high level of reliability

  I am blown away! - 2017 Toyota Prius
  By Ed Edmundson - January 28 - 7:19 pm

  I was hesitant to buy a hybrid, but after many hours of research, I concluded that reliability of the hybrid battery was not a concern. The big surprise is that Prius is a luxury car. The seats are fabulous, very smooth ride, good handling, and amazing technology. I am just really impressed by the gas mileage. I also think the styling is awesome. Overall, I am extremely satisfied and looking forward to many years of happy motoring. The only complaint is about the hatch, which has no inside release, nor is it on the key fob. I think this was a huge oversight. There is some road noise at highway speeds, but I believe it is the low rolling resistance tires. That is fixable. I was a loyal Nissan owner for a very long time, but Nissan is really having terrible time with their CVTs. My 2013 Sentra was having transmission troubles at 68,000. I am a Toyota convert now. I shied away from Toyota for a long time, because I thought they were ugly, rough-riding, and uncomfortable. Boy have they really changed!

  INCREDIBLE VEHICLE - 2017 Toyota Prius
  By Leonard E. - March 24 - 6:59 pm

  I had already sold myself on buying a Prius Eco a couple of years before they finally became available. I purchased a 2016 in December of that year. I am the antithesis of an impulse buyer, and I will not make up my mind on any car I have purchased until I have driven it 100,000 miles. That said, my Eco has certainly passed muster so far. Performance, handling and comfort are great. For those who care about fuel economy, my MPG presently is in the upper 60s. Consumer Reports rates the 2016 second to none in reliability and safety. I will write a follow- up as soon as I hit 100k miles. The instrument cluster being slightly to my right is of no concern to me. However, the view out the back window is not the greatest, nor is the view at an obtuse angle out the back right window. Ill just have to live with that.
