Used 2016 Toyota Prius Hatchback Consumer Reviews
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.

Great car....for a smaller guy
I absolutely love my Prius....words I thought I'd never say! I got a new job a little further away from home so I thought I should buy something a little more economical. The Prius fit the bill and I bought it a few days before I started. I bought the basic model, nothing fancy...and I love it. I wish it had auto lights and power seats, but I get along just fine w/out em. What is starting to bother me a little is the comfort in the front seat. For quick trips it's not bad, but when I'm sitting in traffic for an hour or more my back starts to hurt. Granted my back hurts most of the time anyway, but not as much when I'm in my other cars. Overall I still love the car. Getting 58 mpg currently and love that! Filling up last time cost me <$18...oh wait, that's the 1 and only time I've filled up in a month! Hard to complain about that! If you're in the market for a Prius, just get it.

Hurrah for Gen 4
The fourth generation of the Prius is a winner! First week I had the car we drove from OC to Yosemite to the Northern California coast experiencing city, mountain, and open road environments. Handled "The Grapevine" with ease, capturing lots of energy on the downhill side. Acceleration was surprisingly good, and the ride was much smoother than previous generations due to the suspension upgrade and good support in my cloth seats. Navigation was accurate with excellent alternatives provided when I decided to explore some other roads. AC kept us very comfortable in 100+ degree weather. 1066 miles on 18.3 gallons of gasoline!

57.3 MPGs
great car that drives like a dream. roomy and very comfortable. great gas mileage no worries about comparison pricing for gas. Just go almost 600 miles on this tankful and it cost me $20.00 for gas @ $1.85 a gallon in NJ. Mileage above the expected rating. Love the fact that it tells me and rates my driving and how to maintain great gas mileage. held the road in a driving rain storm last night.

New 2016 Prius is better then ever
First, if you never have owned a Prius the 2016 is a great vehicle. If you are coming from an earlier edition the 2016 has many improvements. I would upgrade to a Model Four. My 2012 is a Model 2 and I think it is worth the extra money to get the options. Many improvements including build quality can be seen. The changes in the suspension do make a difference. The materials inside are greatly improved. I don't think they feel cheaply made. The only negative feedback I would give between the 2016 and the previous generation is drive sits lower in the car and the car feels lower in the from. Once you scrape the front end/ bumper you will understand. As a iPhone user the ability to charge an Android based phone is useless to me. The seats in the 2016 feel more supportive than those in my 2012. This car is for people are interested in getting good MPG's. I am a former Nissan Leaf (2013) and BMW I3 (2014) owner. So far I can say I am very happy with my purhase.
