Used 2010 Toyota Prius Consumer Reviews
Love it
Great MPG, I have been getting 50+ city and I got 51.7 on 400 mile trip through Alaskan mountain roads. I'm 6'4" and 340 lbs and I fit fine, easy to get in and out of. Lots of cargo room
Changed my view
Was not expecting to like this car. My husband loves getting great gas mileage and has always been interested in this car. He just hated the older styles inside, thought it was cheap and ugly. The the 2010 came out and he liked it. It drives great, quiet, you can see out of it well. The best turning radius I have ever had. We drive a mixed highway city and have had no less than 52mpg. I had to trade in my 300 Chrysler but I don't miss it. Now I like getting the best gas mileage. We have a focus and suzuki sx4. Hate to say it but this car is a much better car.

VERY Satisfied
I owned a 2004 Lexus LS430. I was VERY HAPPY with my Lexus. The thing is my family grew by two kids. My wife changed to a minivan and I needed to get something more fuel efficient. Did the math and I am saving tons on fuel. The Lexus made me feel good because it is the best luxury car. The Prius makes me feel good because its the most fuel efficient car. Took me a while to get used to losing some of the luxury feel, but over all I couldn't be happier. I also love the fact that I'm less dependent of foreign oil for my energy needs. The biggest thing to get used to has been having more people pass me on the road because I drive slower. In my Lexus I was always passing people.
A Pleasant Green Surprise
I have researched for a Hybrid for sometime, and the 2010 Prius has a good enough balance blend for me to take the plunge. Love the EV, although not real useful because of the small battery capacity (runs out fast), and not so usable 25mph cap before switching to gas. Brake feel is toy like, and not solid, makes lots of noise, probably because of energy recovery. The gas mileage on sticker I can validate to be true. In fact, I bettered hwy/city both. Car stable enough, glass I would pay for factory infrared radiant barrier (more green, less heat), I just wished it had just a bit more power, would make this car near perfect. I noted the seats are terrible. Any extended length makes my back ache.
Great Gas Mileage
It's been 6 weeks now and boy does it get great in-town MPG. If the MPG gauge on the car can be trusted, I get 55-57 MPG in-town (max speed ~50mph). I took a long trip and got 43mpg @ 75mph, 45mpg @ 70mph so EPA ratings for hwy driving must be at 60mph. The 8hr trip was fairly comfortable. AC didn't affect gas mileage much. The base model seats could be more comfortable, but they could also be a lot worse. The front seat headrests are rather uncomfortable, they point forward causing your head to bend forward when leaning back in the seat, an uncomfortable position. Cruise did a god job on hills and still got good MPG. ECOMode is a bit "Big Brother"ish depicting every driving style good or bad.
