I bought this as a used one owner with 42k miles. A little under a year later and I'm at 63k miles, averaging 43.1MPG. The 17" wheels likely account for the low average, but I'm happy since it has been on a few packed road trips. If you're considering the Advanced Tech package, I think it's a no-brainer if you are commuting on the interstate. The Dynamic Radar Cruise Control makes my daily commutes much less irritating (it can slow the car down to 25mph if necessary). Pair that with the Lane Keep Assist and the system can make a good attempt at steering the car while at speed. I use both daily. The Pre-Collision System has activated twice, and the seat belt tensioning happened once.
Inherent design flaw and poorly maintained

I believe that people that that "It's a Toyota" and that they just "keep going." It seems these care often have a lot of deferred maintenance that needs to be repaired. Also, there is no coolant temperature gauge and only have any indication of an overheating engine when a flashing red coolant light comes on in the gauge cluster. I'd like to know if my coolant temp is anything over normal in standard driving conditions, not only the moment it hits the "red zone." The Prius I purchased has a blown head-gasket, which is a $2.5k repair, plus broken wipers, and in dire need of basically a new front suspension. Design flaw or deferred maintenance? I'd say BOTH user error and inherent design flaws. Again, why it's so important to have a pre-purchase inspection. My mechanic about bit my head off that I didn't bring it to him before I bought it.

My 2010 Prius II is the finest overall car I have ever owned and I have been driving my own cars for forty years. It has the unique ability to transport four people in comfort and do so with an overall average of 50 mpg. I am impressed with the technology and am convinced Toyota loses money on the base car. It combines excellent driving characteristics (it's no sports sedan, however) with an engaging dash and controls. I enjoy driving this car. Gripes? The tires need more compliance as they now transmit too much road noise and harshness into the cabin. Also the radio/entertainment system combo is weak. I am not convinced spending more on factory pieces would be worthwhile. The after-market s
Great Car!

I'm a retired car dealer so having always had access to a car, I left my family scratching their head when I bought my first new one in about 30 years or so. Even crazier was the fact that I was the co-owner of a Honda/Acura Dealership during the 90's. I was attracted to the Prius because of it's 21st century styling and the experiences I had with them while out of town and using one as a rental. I never had to put gas in the darn thing, the needle never seemed to move. That was the real motivator for me ... "cheap to drive".
Very Reliable, Fuel Efficient

Amazing car for its reliability and fuel efficiency. High mileage doesn't seem to make any difference, it remains reliable and fuel efficient at 149 000 miles. It's also comfortable, roomy and offers high tech features. Best car I've ever had, and I've owned Volvo, Honda, Mazda, Opel, Audi, Ford, Pontiac etc
