Not as great handling as I would like. -However, it’s comfortable cabin, fuel sipping engine with electric assist, and more than reasonable number of features (when you can find them), makes it one of the best daily commuter vehicles on the road.

At 63,000 miles, the 2020 Prius limited still averages around 55mpg in hilly terrain with snow tires. So far, only routine maintenance with one transmission oil change and regular air filter changes for dust. The low clearance requires careful parking.

Have owned this car for just under 6 months now. Find it very comfortable, smooth ride, good acceleration. Yet there are some perplexing oversights which come into play every time you use the car. First, there is no way to open the trunk from inside the car and worse, the trunk is manual open, heavy and very high. The automatic trunk open is old technology available on many if not most cars these days. With the Prius, you will have to put your parcels down on the ground and use two hands and reach high up in the air to use the trunk. Second. the a.c. operation button to cool the car before you get in is pretty silly. It is operational from about 15 ' and turns off when you open the car door. Thus, there is really no time for the car to cool before it is turned off. Third. The front window visors are short and cannot be extended when rotating the visor to the sides. This again is a sensible feature I have encountered in other American and Japanese cars. Can't be very costly to install and involves no technology!. Third. I am being told that the system cannot connect to an IPAD (even though the IPAD option is listed in the Sources). Would be nice to access my audio books in this technologically advanced vehicle! Fourth. I have been sent to buildings that are closed and have been for some time via the gps directional screen. Lesson: don't use the name of anything. Type in the exact address you want to get to. Well, that's all I have found so far. As stated, these items come up almost daily. Hard to believe with the technology forward image of this car, these little conveniences have been overlooked.

Round trip commute is 80miles. The mpg is great. The lack of CarPlay and navigation system are terrible. I wind up looking for phone holders again even with an 11’’ screen. That is essentially useless. There are no ETune apps, note they were pretty much dropped. The car runs etune 2.0 non plans for updates, no plans to allow adding 3rd pet apps, such as Waze, no plans to allow updates to etune 3.0, no plans to allow retrofitting post production to the 2020 head unit which supports car play. I regret buying this car.

This is a great vehicle with technology, efficiency, and quality. However, the driver must always be "attentive to driving it to keep it on the road". It is quick steering with almost no feed back to the steering wheel. Any lapse of attention such as glancing at the nav display, radio, dashboard displays, etc. can lead to undetected lane violation or road edge approach. I have learned to "pull over and take actions" like selecting a nav setting, radio setting, opening a cup of coffee, eating a sandwich, etc. That being said, I have driven the vehicle 10K miles with no dents, dings and only one minor rub (by some one else in parking lot". I have driven it in all weather conditions, across plains, in mountains, up long hills, down long hills, etc. It has the required power and braking, Fuel efficiency is above 55 mpg calculated. It has space for luggage and other large stuff. The clearance detectors make it easy to park in close spaces. One criticism I have is the doors require wide side clearance and tend to unexpectedly hit adjacent parked vehicles.
