I underestimated the Prius till I drove it. I enjoy driving it. Gas mileage is amazing, drives very smooth on the highway & city. Sound system is great.. navigation and Bluetooth perfect. Very spacious, rear seats can fold if more space needed. Has a power mode that had me doing 106 MPH on I26 in SC. I love this car so much, bought it to ship to someone overseas, ended up keeping it after I drove it on a short trip & got him another one. been 3 years now. No issues at all.. just regular maintenance.. Does very well on long distance trips as well. No regrets here. Simply love it.

The Fuel economy was unbelievable. Good, excellent even, but: and it's a big one. The machine rides like a buckboard. Rough, very rough. The struts do not do the job. If you live down the street from your work and all are paved roads in good repair then it's worth considering for the fuel savings alone. The resale value/ trade-in was not all it was cracked up to be. The largest disappointment were the mice. Literally. We had mice in the battery compartment, mice in the spare, mice in the rear seat. Mice in the ac. The mice were colonies. The fought, they died, they stunk, and stunk and stunk until we had to give up the ride. They came in though the engine cowling at the hood, under the wipers. They chewed through the cabin filter. We had them cleaned out by the dealership once, very expensive, and the car sanitized. They came again, we cleaned it out ourselves and placed wire over the air intakes under the wipers (YouTube) but during the summer every time we hit a bump, you guessed it: The smell of decaying mice through the air vents. Finally we traded for a Subaru. it's a much better ride but I sure do miss that 51 mpg. Finally traded that rascal for a Subaru Forester, a much better vehicle but only about 30 mpg hwy. The Prius was good for the gas mileage but little else. It rode like a buckboard, had no room, attracted mice and was poorly constructed. The struts were terrible.

Bought my 2012 Prius hatchback 5, 2 weeks ago and love it! They took $5000 off sticker and I got zero percent financing! I'm getting on average 49 miles per gallon and it cost me $27 dollars to fill up the gas tank! Used to pay 70 to 75 dollars a week!
Great smart stylish choice
