We have the Prius 3 package which has navigation and keyless opening of the two front doors and the hatchback. The smartkey system is wonderful as the key fob stays in your pocket yet you can open the doors and start the car. We also have this on our 2008 Prius which is also a fine car. Haven't had any issues with the nav and we've used it in most of the western states. This generation of the prius is quieter and rides more smoothly than the previous two. It gets about 10% better gas mileage than our 2008 without babying it. On the highway my 2008 gets about 44-45 mpg while the 2014 gets at least 50 mpg. Luggage capacity is not an issue for our family as it fits many suitcases. This car has only 16k miles but I expect it will hold up as well as the 2008. No problems with the car. It did come with cheap Bridgestone tires which were garbage and were replaced at 10k miles by Michelin Premiers which are outstanding for snow and handling. My wife drives like a formula one driver yet gets about 46 mpg in the city. Wish we would have gone for the softex interior as the cloth is easily dirtied. Headlights are excellent and improved over the prior generation. Climate control is typical Toyota: excellent. Visibility once you get used to the rear window is excellent as well. If you aren't intimidated by it, the car is easy to work on and super cheap to maintain. It is a nice feeling to have cars that are reliable and safe. Definitely recommend this car.

Me:6'3"(240 lbs) "tall back" Headroom (good): few inches to spare legroom (good): would be nice if the steering wheel telescoped a few more inches toward me, so I could move the seat back more. (can live with it though - not unsafe to drive). legroom width (good) - plenty of side2side room visibility (good): Rear View is just a little restricted. Would be nice if side view mirrors were larger/larger field of view. display (good): placed away from driver for ease of viewing. -smooth ride so far (new car) -quick acceleration when needed -back head/leg room (ok) -It's a commuter car (mpg=priority#1), not a luxury sedan. Toyota did an awesome job.
Best hybrid on the Road!

The Toyota Prius is a proven performer. This vehicle is designed to deliver outstanding fuel economy - and it does. It will give 52 mpg highway and up to 65 mpg city if driven conservatively. Of course, along with the low fuel consumption comes low emissions for those who care deeply about our air and environment. The car is also low maintenance and extremely reliable. My 2011 Prius has 141,000 miles on it with no major issues. My 2014 Prius has a solar roof that powers a fan to keep the interior cooler when the car is parked in the sun - it's fantastic! You can't go wrong with the Prius.

Not hard to see why they call this car "iconic" - it performs very well in every category. It's a geek's car in every good sense; the techy dash keeps you informed of your efficiency, and encourages you to drive intelligently; the 50mpg average is easily attainable. Plenty of room front and rear; I'm 6ft-3in, and can set driver's seat for me, and still be comfortable in the driver-side back. Comfortable ride, good pickup on twisty hills, and good cargo capacity with seats folded (seats up, still a good grocery hauler). Not a flashy sporty car, but does the job it's built to do, and does it in solid Toyota style. UPDATE: unfortunately, the car was totaled by another vehicle recently; we replaced it with a Camry, but will try the new design Prius at a leter date.

This is a great car. The fuel mileage is phenomenal. On flat with no wind we're talking 60-68 mpg at 65-70 mph. Anyway, I like considering that it takes me half as much money to go just as far as other people in 20-30 mpg cars. And, only adding half as much pollution. Your kids will appreciate that someday.

SUNROOF SEALS go bad quickly and expensive to fix

On one hand, my Prius has been a good car. I bought it less than a year old and put 55,000 miles on it. It always starts and stops. Maintenance has — until the sunroof — been simple. It looks sporty. It does well in the snow. The mileage, however, has never lived up to expectations — I get 44-45 mpg. Road noise is very high with the Prius and is a real downside to an enjoyable long drive. I cannot over emphasize what a drag it is to have to constantly use a raised voice to hold a normal conversation. Now my biggest complaint - the sunroof. The sunroof has a weather seal — keeps water out — and rubber trim/seals around the glass. These are the ones you can see. The rubber trim started coming off on my car this winter. A little online research revealed this as a common problem — with an expensive fix. The trim seals can’t be replaced and the front glass section (there are 3 total with the solar panel included) has a bad seal too. Cost to fix is $2,000 because the entire glass has to be replaced for both panels. I have no choice, I have to fix it. I called Toyota hoping for some help. Instead, I experienced the most disrespectful and unpleasant person I have ever dealt with when calling a big company. Wow! Apparently, this is not very uncommon with Toyota. Bottomline: I am selling the Prius as soon as sunroof is fixed and I will never own another Toyota. It’s too bad. Toyota used to be a company that produced quality cars and provided exceptional support. Update: I paid a lot to have the seal replaced and sold the car before this happened again.

In life sometimes you make mistakes and end up buying a Prius. Overall the car gives you so much you can't really hate it like you should. It took me to New York and back with 3 huge suitcases in the trunk and 5 people 500 miles roundtrip cost me 20 bucks. It is comfortable for long trips and is very quiet. I am impressed with the quality of the bluetooth and the entertainment system and I overall like the interior and exterior style and design. It drives fine. It is meant to be the work horse that will get save me in gas. When your stuck in traffic life is great in a Prius the engine turns off. I had some issues with the car from the start but eventually toyota fixed it after a few attempts

After reading the reviews and inquiring with my coworkers that owned a prius, and assuring me that they get the 50mpg, I decided to buy one for myself and one for my daughter. Even the salesman told me that you drive it like a regular car. Well six months later, I now believe that i was lied to or the car was overrated on the ease of getting 50mpg. The reality is the car computer calculates 3mpg over of what I actually get, by miles driven verses fuel used. If you drive it normal you get low 40s. To get to the 50s you need to coast or try to keep it in electric mode as much as possible while everybody else is passing you. You stay busy and it is a head ache to drive it to get the miles. UPDATE. I have now owned the car for 2 years, I will never buy a Prius again, it is boring to drive,

Dash Board Is Impossible for me to read. My wife's 2008 Prius is much easier to read. Why do i need a 234 page manual for the Audio System?

I own a 2016 BMW 3 Series, 2013 MBenz and the Prius is everyone's favorite. It is all 10's in every category. 42.5 City and 54.5 Hwy.
