I drive and still own my Dodge Charger, but the V8 with a Hemi, sucks the gas down..So,We bought this car to help with the rising prices of gas, and to save some money in the long run, and we love it, This car has a lot of get up and go, we have no trouble pulling out or picking up speed, It is so quiet, that sometimes you wonder if it is running, my three daughters fit in the back seat with no problem and one is in a car seat..We have a couple of hills that we have to go over everyday and the Prius has no problem going over them..So far we are well pleased with this little car, its doing everything it says it can...

My 1st Hybrid

Excellent build quality, but I was expecting that as a long time Toyota buyer. The Prius is comfortable, quiet at highway speeds and easy to drive. I commute 100 miles round trip every day. In the early morning, it is a highway drive, in the afternoon it is 1/2 bumper to bumper and 1/2 highway. This car does well in both. I am averaging 53mpgs after 3 tanks of gas. If I drive at 60mph on the highway, I can get 56mpgs. The car is very roomy with a large cargo area

I read and heard alot about the prius mainly negative. The wife and i took a test drive and bought on the spot. It is quiet smooth and feels sturdy. The gas milage is heaven espicially with rising prices. Quite a techno machine but if two regular people over 50 can figure the car out anyone can.

New 2011 Prius owner

I bought a 2011 Prius 3 3 weeks ago and I love it. I wanted to post here for others that might be looking and save a step. I bought the Prius because of my 150 mile daily commute and had prevoiusly owned a FORESTER. As much as the Forester is a great car I was avg 24 miles and filling up 3 times a week. The Prius is great to drive, comfortable for a 6 ft person, great gas mileage.. the car is easier to get into than the Forester, seats are firmer than the forester.. Anyway, I looked at the new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and it does not compare..main reason besides gas is the trunk- the battery takes up so much space that you only have 10 sq ft of space- you cant put anything in there.

I bought this car after much research. I watched every u-tube video, and searched the internet. I even went to “Prius chat” and hung around. Turns out, few people have anything bad to say about them, and some think you’re getting more good technology than your paying for. I drive 90-100 miles round trip to work and back. Almost all highway. I wanted to save fuel, not necessarily the planet, that was a side benefit. I don’t even own Birkenstock’s. They are much better in the city, with mileage, however our speed limit being 80, highway, doesn’t help. I can still get great fuel mileage 45-48 highway, everything being a variable. Winter tires/summer tires, headwind/ tailwind, hill/ flat. Overall I have made 2000 mile trips, more than once, and average 50 mpg. The car performs flawlessly, tires are inexpensive, and I change my own oil. One downside for a diy person, are sparkplug change outs. Watch a video. Whaaa,!! Ok moving on, you should also know this is not a conventional CVT trans. It is much better. No rubber bands here folks. There are some great informative videos from a college, in Utah, Weber college. This gentleman is probably the foremost expert on Prius. I know, I went deep. 2 years now and I’m thinking about buying another, pound for pound, a great value.
