Used 2010 Toyota Prius Consumer Reviews
Mr. Bill and his 2010 Prius
The vehicle 'rocks' - beyond my expectations, beyond my MPG beliefs - Toyota got it right. I am a hybrid convert - 53 Mile per Gal. and it's fun to drive. 50 plus MPG and no only even comes close - thank you Toyota for your innovations, vision and products that are simply the 'world's best in class' outstanding job by all. Thank you.
2010 prius
Coming from a conventional gas auto there is a learning curve but it's no big deal, just a couple definite changes in perspective. The car drives just fine. Noticed road noise was quite variable depending on type of road, some rather noisy others not at all. Side winds were more noticeable than expected but this is a light car after all. The CVT transmission is different and quite nice after a little getting used to it. The power delivery is totally linear, especially noticeable on steep roads. No bogging down and shifting down, rather nice just driving up the hill, probably the most notable driving feature. Notable whine on breaking from the energy recapture feature. Great mileage.

Try it you'll LOVE it
I have been a Pick-up man for 20 years. When my mechanic told me the cost of repair was more then the value of the truck we went directly to Toyta for a Prius. I am a big guy so I was looking for plenty of room (has plenty for my family of 4), a good stereo (the JBL rocks) and 50mpg (it has exceeded the advertised number for the first two tanks!!).
Wow!
I have had my 2010 prius for 10 days, and it has exceeded my expectations. First tank of gas 53.0 mpg, computer, 51.3, manual calc., in mix of highway and D.C. crawl. Prius is quiet and handles great. I actually enjoy my 85 mile commute. I love all the displays and gadgets. You become very involved in your driving. A great car, plus 50 mpg. You just cannot beat it.
More than just great gas mileage
This is my first hybrid car. I expected great mileage but an unexciting car with limited power and many compromises. Was I wrong. While power is nothing to brag about this engine responds to all driving situations. It does roar when really pushed, but in ordinary driving there is minimal engine and road noise. Comfort is decent and it feels like a bigger car than it really is. Functionality is great with the hatchback and folding rear seats. The first 3 fill ups yielded 42, 45 and 50 mpg's. I was told that mileage will improve and it has so far. The navigation system, back up camera and bluetooth are great. The Prius III does not come with homelink, but the dealer added it for us.
