This was my very first brand new car and I couldn't be happier. With all teh features of this car I almost feel like I'm in my own little space ship. I can't get enough of teh navigation system or the voice commands. I have such a great time 'talking' to the car.

Overall this is a marvelous automobile. Absolutely love it and will probably exchange my 2004 for a 2006 model, selling my 2004 for more than I paid for it!!

I like this car for every kind of driving, and would improve only its handling in strong cross-winds. We have over 30,000 miles on it, and have gotten mileage that has varied from a low of 39 (20 below zero, entirely short-trip driving) to 56 (twice, in the summer on Maine back roads). I have never enjoyed owning a car more. Because it has the potential to appeal to a wide spectrum of people, this car could point the way to reducing dramatically our dependence on foreign sources of energy, and a recuction in harmful emissions. I hope we get soon get a large number of hybrids, including pick-up trucks, to chose from -- WITH the ability to plug-in at night for all-electric driving.

My wife and I researched Hybrids for 3 years before finally buying our Prius. We are more than satisfied with our purchase. We immediately started saving more than $300 per month on gas. Now that gas prices have gone above $3.00 a gallon and are now hovering at about $2.70 we are saving closer to $425 per month. We actually average between 42 and 46 mpg but I have a lead foot and tend to set the cruise control on 80mph. If I can behave myself and go about 68 mph I average closer to 50 mpg on highway. My daily commute is about 80 miles round trip and this car has been a life saver over what our SUV used to cost getting 17 mpg on a good day. We recommend the Prius fully loaded.
