I purchased the car specifically for maxing out my mpg and it's lived up to its billing. In the 3 months I've been driving it I average 62 mpg city/53 mpg highway/58 mpg combined (well above the combined 47 mpg EPA rating). Comfort and styling are above average in my opinion. Overall power is below average... but I didn't buy this car for the power. Great commuter car as it has already saved me $200 in gas compared to my former vehicle (2005 Toyota 4runner). You can find alternate commuter cars at a better price but not with this much comfort/styling or getting this good of mileage!

I just got my 2009 Toyota Prius Touring package 6 on Monday 19th. I'm currently a little disappointed with the gas mileage, I've only put 102 miles on the car at this point, & the cars screen indicates I'm averaging 32.1 MPG. Hopefully this improves after I've broken it in a little,

My prius has 10000 miles on it and I average no higher than 36mpg and only 25mpg in the winter. The fuel gauge reads no gas left but when I fill up it only takes 7 gallons to fill its 11.9 gallon tank. The engine is slow, loud, and noisy. For a $30,000 car I expected more. For an extra $5,000 my Subaru Tribeca gets 25mpg highway, power and heated seats, sunroof, AWD, 6 cylinder engine and better safety rating.
Not comfortable....

The car is great, the comfort level is not so good. What this car lacks is what the latest certain Prius models have improved upon. There is no power driver seat, so finding that sweet spot for driving is a real challenge. For example, you will be finding yourself reaching out for that steering wheel when you are in a comfortable position. That will put strain on your arms while driving. There is no lower back support, so for long drives that can be for hours, this is a lower back killer. Make sure you do your daily stretches to overcome the physical drawbacks of sitting in this car.

Didn't know much about a hybrid before but now have a great respect for them. But not all hybrids are worth the money but this one is in this writer's opinion. Love to jump in and run my errands and even take it on longer trips. (1st review) After having the car for nearly 3 yrs, can't say my opinion has changed much. It's still an awesome little car and as time goes on, and running into other Prius owners and drivers, their feelings are the same, we love the little cars. Gas mileage is great. Maintenance is very little. Other than oil and filter changes, I have replaced the small battery in it. But once in 8 yrs, who can complain?? I now have roughly 51K miles on it and before too long, I may look into replacing spark plugs and checking brakes, etc. However, as far as driving the car goes, I can not tell, it needs anything at this time. Tune ups are sometimes overlooked until plugs are badly burnt and cars are running very rough.
