2010 Toyota Prius II 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
8 of 8 people found this review helpful
I bought my Prius in 2010 and have been driving it for 9 years. Except for replacing the tires, I have not needed any repairs or needed to replace anything on it. On a long trip we had even reached 60mpg but daily use was still good at 45mpg. It is fun to drive and has been the most reliable car I have ever owned.

Versatile vehicle, surprisingly spry

Great no-fuss reliable and enjoyable car for commuting, hauling surprising amounts of cargo around town, with great range & fuel economy. Drove it with satisfaction for 8 years. My needs changed (need to tow), and eventually the long distance (2 hour +) seat discomfort led me to sell and upgrade comfort levels, despite loss of some fuel economy. Be aware the factory paint came soft (fragile) finished, and should be hard coated. Dealers & others offer this, so check for it in a used car.

A good thing made better

Purchased a 2010 to replace a 2008 that we loved. The '10 is an improvement on an already good thing. More comfortable with height adjustable drivers seat. Seat position relative to steering wheel feels right; it felt 'off' in the '08. Combined with wrap around dash/center console, it feels very sporty and comfortable. Engine performance is improved. More power with less noise and improved mpg (52 vs 47). Oil changes a bit of hassle as a plastic underbody shield has to be removed. Special wrench needed to remove oil filter housing. Shield has to be removed to change trans fluid and coolant. Otherwise, trans fluid is straight forward like '08. Coolant can be changed and bled easily by DIYer.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

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

I've researched the Prius for 4 years before getting the car. It meets all of my expectations. 1) The gas mileage is as advertised. If you hold your freeways speeds down (speed limit) you can easily get 50 mpg or more. Short trips kill mileage, long trips are good. I average over 58 mpg for my daily 70 mile commute. 2) Stereo and bluetooth are nice 2) The brake and acceleration thing was media hype. There are no issues with my car. 3) This is not a 0-60 mph performance car, nor does it handle like a sports car. It has adequate acceleration and handling. 4) Rear visibility isn't very good out of the rear corner windows. Ensure you've adjusted your mirrors adequately.
the perfect urban vehicle

this car will swallow up a wheelchair, or a 40 gal hot water heater, or a load from Ikea -- beat everything on the interstate (it's the driver, not the car who flinches at speed limits) - and still get near 50 mpg. My car had to carry a wheel chair -- this was the ONLY hybrid (not counting the Chevy light hybrid) that hid the batteries rather than put 'em in a box in the middle of the trunk. You will be able to cruise at 10-15 mph over the speed limit and not get a ticket (except for speed trap cameras...) as cops don't believe a Prius speeds. HOWEVER, the tire noise and wind noise will wear you down and a 800 mile trip will seem like a 1000 mile trip! MAYBE if I had up-trimmed it a bit this would not be an issue -- but around town and for 120 mile trips - not that big a deal. I went from a fill up a week to a fill up a month -- yeah. good value in a car. This will replace the VW beetle as the go to car for college students (fold down the rear seat and it becomes a struggle buggy)
