Perfect sporty hybrid/poor music quality

I love this vehicle,even from coming from a new explorer previously. Gas usage and fill up cost is amazing. I average 54.4mpg with lots of driving. I love the interior two toned leather seats. The touchscreen is easy to figure out. My kids have plenty of leg room. The engine is very quiet. The ride is very smooth. Trunk space is great. My only negative is that this vehicle comes across as a sporty hybrid but the sound system is very poor quality for it.

Best Car I Have Ever Owned

I took one test drive and knew this was the car for me. Several years ago we drove a Prius hybrid rental and liked it, but it wasn't anything special. As soon as I started driving the 2016 Prius I was enjoying the ride, even in rush hour traffic. It handled easily, provided a smooth ride, easily kept pace with traffic, both slow and fast and was quiet. I bought it that night. The gas mileage is exceeding what I was expecting for combined street and highway driving. Even my husband can drive it. He is 6' 5" and the joke has always been we had to try on cars rather than picking the one we wanted, we had to take the one that he could get into whether it was comfortable or not. Even with the moon roof, his head does not bump the top of the car. I can get 3 dog kennels in the back and still have room for luggage. AND it also fits into our garage even with the full size van, freezer and storage in the front part of the garage.

Love It!

I purchase my 2016 Prius Model 4 used with only 7200 miles on it. It was virtually brand new after almost two years. The comfort level is exceptional with regards to the physical seat comfort, and then just the overall feeling of all the safety features that are on the car. I’m 6’1” and 220 lbs and find the seats perfect. Getting in and out of the car is not too difficult, but it isn’t as easy as other vehicles with a more upright sitting position. I have plenty of headroom. I was specifically looking for a Prius 4 because of the leather seats (ok, I know it’s not real leather, but it feels like it), and the power adjustable drivers seat. I wish the passenger seat had power adjustment also. Several inline reviews say the new design is ugly, but I think it looks great. To each there own. My wife likes my Prius so much she wants to trade in her GMC Acadia and we’ll have his and hers ... lol.

the car is not really suitable for the shak oneal size, better for us smaller folks! It is great to drive, has made us more energy conscious! better mileage than what has been published....huge learning curve for the electronics, maybe we'll know most by the time the car has logged 50,000 miles. husband has an antique muscle car, threatens to record the engine noise on a disc, play it in the prius at a stop light (with the windows rolled down), but he loves the prius!

It makes me love driving even with the heavy traffic. It is so smooth and quiet. I only do not like the white cup holders and the sun visor is too short that does not cover the side at all.
