Used 2010 Toyota Prius Consumer Reviews
A tool for the job
I'm an outside sales rep, travel approx 2000 miles per month. I Always have driven BMW or Acura, great cars, However I noticed that a lot of colleagues in my industry have gone to the PRIUS especially since the 2010 model, so i decided to switch to a PRIUS. Here are some reasons, 1- lower my fuel cost from $300 per month to $120 per month, 2 - we do our part in helping the environment, our clients like that part and it shows smarts by us. 3 - by far the best Hybrid buy in the market. 4 - The tools Toyota provides are second to none, like the bluetooth, navigation, stereo, and the cockpit is cool. I got the solar panels as well and they are worth it. Great Car would recommend it!
Ultimate Space Ship
The car drives like a space ship. I get between 42-50 MPG average gas millage. It is not what some other owners have posted; however, this is just insane gas millage. I love everything about my car. The ride with 17 inch tires is a little bit on the firm side; however, it is still very very comfortable. As other people say, the car makes you learn how to drive all over again... Lots of people have complained about Toyota service (recalls), but please go to another dealer. My dealer has been very responsive and did ECU upgrade for an hour. Still, I could not complain about anything in the car prior upgrade. World is a better place with 2010 Toyota Prius! Enjoy 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.
A little spaceship
I just bought my Prius last week and I love it. I was concerned about going from a BMW Z4 sports car but I quickly got over that. The Prius is a fun, solid, practical car. I'm enjoying how absolutely different and modern it is. It's like driving a cool, little spaceship. I may have sacrificed a bit (OK, a lot) of power and performance but that's more than compensated by the mileage and clever design of the Prius. And I'm surprised at how zippy it is. Of course tracking MPG real time is a disincentive from flooring it but when the power is needed it's certainly there.
Maybe not for shorties
Just can't get comfortable. Back and bottom hurt after two hours, not like my former ride, a Grand Caravan, which was comfy. Has few adjustments, and I can't find a combination of seat and steering wheel positions that works for me. I am 5' 1" and 125 pounds. The console thingy is annoying, maybe because I am so far forward but otherwise can't reach the gas. So this is why it has not been so fun to drive. Averaging 47 mpg.
