Yes the car gets great mileage and puts out near zero emissions but what you enjoy every day is the quiet. You get out of the car feeling more rested than when you entered. It is the first car in 30 years that I appreciate every time I use it

We absolutely love this car so much that we only use our other car about once a month. This car is so SMOOTH and easy to drive that the great gas mileage (50mpg in summer and 46 in winter) is just a bonus. Plus it has way more space inside than you would think just by looking at it. We can fit 2 people, 2 mountain bikes, a cooler, and lots of camping gear in the back and still see out of the back window. Another great feature is the keyless entry and start button (see below). Also, both my wife and I agree that driving a PRIUS reduces your stress level while driving (its quiet and variable transmission is SMOOTH) and at the pump. All other cars now seem primitive compared to the Prius.

The car is a joy to drive. It will go as fast as 40 mph on electric power alone

Haven't had the car very long. It will take me a month to figure out what everything does but I have been disappointed in the mileage.....only getting 40 m.p.g.

Rear view mirror difficult to see. Only goes 45-47 mpg local driving ... hoping this will improve. Otherwise it is a fun car to drive ... very user-oriented.
