2010 Toyota Prius III 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

We live up a winding country road with a 55 mph speed limit ... at the suggested tire pressures with the supplied tires the car still tends to "wallow" through the curves. Increasing the pressure to 40 front, 38 back helps. Road noise is a big disappointment ... going freeway speeds over "gravel cement" pavement creates a harmonic roar that needs to be muffled. I would have been happy with more insulation, less mileage. Ford Fusion hybrid was much quieter. Everything else is great... maybe using better tires will solve the above problems.

I drove previous versions of the Prius for work and our new personal car is a real step up in the comfort department. Still gets good mileage and fun to drive, makes commuting easy and painless at the pump. We are getting around 48 mpg town and highway driving with no change in our driving habits. Plenty of power on the freeway when you need it.

Early Review, Some Surprises

The new Prius can be driven precisely, owing to its tight steering and excellent suspension; it feels like a new Audi. My friends are amazed how quiet the car is, especially at low speeds. I look forward to driving now, instead of hating my daily commute. The black exterior paint is beautiful and the light gray interior is cool in the sun, but they keep me busy cleaning. I wish I'd gotten a gray (silver) color exterior with darker gray interior.
2010 Prius is superb!

The fuel economy is better than advertised, at least this summer during the first 3000 miles. I have been averaging 56.2 mpg, and this car makes you really think and re-learn better driving habits. The interior is roomy; headroom is fantastic! I have no regrets. It is a fun car to drive. When given the choice of driving our Camry or the Prius, I always take the Prius.
Toyota back-up camera

The biggest scam I see in the Prius is the back-up camera. The distance is so distorted as to be dangerous. Cars and other objects in the back-up camera always look much smaller than when looked at in the rear-view mirror or looking behind (reality). I just ignore it, but it's supposedly a big selling point. Also, MPG on the freeway seems to be about the same as my former car, my beloved 1995 Acura. And parking it is inherently hard because I can't see the front of it as it slopes down steeply. It does have good pick-up on hills, and I bought it for the solar panels that bring in ventilation when parked in the sun to avoid that furnace blast of hot air on hot summer days. I want Honda/Acura!
