Well these impressions are based on the first 1500 miles. I bought the least expensive Prius (only with option 2 package). Car is responsive, runs smoothly, drives well in city or highway. Mileage is better than I thought it would be. Tax credit was a major factor in choosing Prius.

This is a wonderful car, we bought it to replace a 06 Chevy truck. We went from 14mpg to 55mpg in the summer!!! We see 50mpg in winter and 55mpg in the summer.

Our Prius experience has been excellent. Approaching 5 K miles we have averaged 48 MPG overall. The mileage has recently topped 50 MPG in primarily urban driving. The car arrived with no defects and has performed flawlessly. Handling is adequate but not sporty. Heating and air conditioning system is very responsive. Hatchback makes for great flexibility whether carrying people or stuff. My concerns relate mostly to the driver's seat--needs lumbar support, height adjustment capabilities. The car would benefit from GM's oil monitoring technology which bases oil changes on driving and engine conditions rather than mileage. Would certainly buy another Prius!

Prior car was a mid-size SUV. Absolutely no problem with the difference in size.The Prius has plenty of pep, is comfortable and handles extremely well.Do not feel that I am in a small car. I do mostly "city" driving and have been getting 40 plus mpg! Looking out the back window takes some time to get accustomed to.

Purchased a new Prius 06, love it, I am 6ft 5in and 300 lbs fit better then the Accord, Civic, Camry or Corolla. Excellent features, fit and finish, was really surprised on the passing power. I was driving a Chevy 1500 HD with 300 hp engine so was used to power. But this vehicle did just great. Drove it back had to go up the Grapevine in CA, no problem maintained 70MPH. Just love all the technical features, i.e. rear view camera, Bluetooth, navigation system, power info.
