We had a 2004 Prius before and loved it but traded it in for a new car which we liked not loved. Then we tried 4 other cars which we liked. Always thought about the Prius. We finally came back and we love it and we are keeping it.

2013 Toyota Prius Persona Series Special Edition 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Extremely ecologically friendly, great fuel economy (easily 50-60 mpg for mine so far!). It takes a little bit to get used to driving it but once you do, it's like a dream to drive and finding that "sweet spot" where you top out the fuel economy at 100mpg is so rewarding. Lot of room in the back for cargo. I love all the nice extras the Persona has with it. Sporty looking, fun to drive, best car ever!

Remote starter ??????????????

2013 Toyota Prius Four 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Remote doesn't work 99% of the time. In 6 weeks of winter, it started my car 3 times. All with me outside, near the car. Dealer gave me an extremely hard time. Went There 4 times before they agreed to take it out and refund my money. They don't have a better remote to choose from and it cost just shy of $600. Worse yet, after I had it installed and complianed ,2 employees told me they knew it wasn't a good starter. Back window has a poor view. Rearview mirrors doesn't dim headlights enough. Can be dangerous.

The acceleration is slow as to be expected, interior noise is a little more than I would like, and there are some minors rattles. Overall, the car performs as expected an delivers an overall averag MPG around 43. I'm not impressed with the Entune/navigation system. The voice controls are hit and miss and the navigation system reboots itself randomly.

Best cars I've owned in eighty years!

2013 Toyota Prius Three 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I've now driven this Prius 4000+ miles in two months. It gives better gas mileage than the other five Priuses I've owned! And is as comfortable for long drives as any car I ever owned. My first Prius was the 2003 model, and I've driven all of them 100,000+ miles, around home and on long trips. Perhaps I'm small enough to be comfortable, but I really cannot understand the complaints about the seats for long trips. All Priuses have been excellent for driving in mountains, but the 2013 model is the best. No other car I ever owned climbed interstate grades easier in cruise control, and because of the transmission, no car descends steep grades better!
