2006 Prius

Very happy with our Prius. The mileage is not eactly 60 miles per gallon, but have been getting 50-52 regularly. I hear people complain about this sometimes, but seems rather nit-picky. I'm sure if you told me last year that I could get 50 miles per gallon, I would have been estactic.

Less than 2 years old, and I'm replacing a headlight bulb... for $311 plus labor! Ouch! So much for having an inexpensive "green" car! Come on Toyota!!

THE Best Video Game on Wheels

A driving experience that really grows on you: started out great & just gets better & better each day. The darned Consumption display is addictive - and a wonderful driving lesson for kids (and parents). You get competitive with that display/video game, resulting in better driving. The seats are comfortable but power adjustment (@ least for driver) would help w/ leg room and thigh support. Interior room is surprisingly large. Gas mileage started out OK (51) and has been getting better, but high-speed highway travel just sucks petrol. Performance is adequate (or better if ya stomp on it). Aerodynamic design, but strong gusty cross-winds can still wiggle the car a bit. Great fun, great car!

My Second Prius

My 2005 Prius was lost in Hurricane Katrina. I had to have a 2006. Current mileage, est. 800. For my 9 or 8 ratings, I will explain. Comfort - I feel the driver's seat could be a little bigger. Fuel economy, I am on my 3rd tank of gas and average for first 2 tanks was 48.2 mpg. My 2005 got 50 or better. Fun to drive? yes, but I am not an expressway lover so I stick to the back roads. However, it keeps up with no problem on the Interstate. Interior design, only one problem, often when I shut the car off by putting in park, my hand hits the pwr button for the radio then when I start the car for next trip, the radio blares unexpectedly. Favorite new feature? The camera display when in reverse. luvit

Purchased one weeks ago, option pkg 5, 2 mi on odo when bought. Live in MA - mileage running between 42-45 mixed backroad/highway (highway @ avg of 68mph). Rear camera helps, but limited at night in low light, and will still need mirrors. Rear seating comfort ok for short trips (2 hours) - front seats more comfortable, but also concerned re: comfort on long trips - don't think they will be good. Interior build seems tight, very quiet ride. Tracks well on roads at both about town, and highway. Easy to park. JBL sound system has nice sound. Keyless system is a nice feature. Came from a Maxima - miss the pickup and comfort features, but love the MPG's.
