I have the most fun with this car. I have never owned a car that I've enjoyed more. I like to see how many mile per gallon I can get by the tank. So far the best I've gotten is 56 mpg. It's just plain fun.
I love my spaceship!!

This is the best car I've ever owned, and I recommend and "sell" them to others all the time. The only reason I'll give up my Prius is if they get a minivan with the Synergy system...

30 hours in traffic - 5 gallons of gas

I was forced to evacuate Houston during Hurricane Rita. In the ensuing traffic jam, I spent 30 hours in traffic, but since the Prius does not burn fuel while stopped and runs off the battery at low speed, I used only 5 gallons of gas! I had the A/C on low and saw thousands of people stranded on the road with families, elderly folks and children all night hoping for help. Huge bottlenecks were formed around gas stations where hundreds of cars crowded the pumps. If everyone had a hybrid car, people might not get stuck in those situations because their cars won't burn gas while idling. During the summer I average 47 mpg in both highway and city driving. In the spring and fall, I average 52 mpg!

NEVER LOOK BACK! Liked it so much, traded in an 04 for this one. Ride could be quieter. Love the mileage of 42 with my lead foot. Have the loaded option package and would not do without any of the features. Navigation system is unbelievable! Interior room galore for full sized adults (I am 350, 6'). Exterior will scratch too easily but not too badly. Voice recognition needs improvment due to interior noise levels in traffic. I will never buy another gas only vehicle. Thanks Toyota.
Almost perfect Prius

After 14 months my only problem has been having to have the computer screen replaced under warranty. I am probably averaging about 44 miles per gallon. Incredible.
