I don't know why folks are always trying to paint prius drivers as eco snobs. I'm interested in one because of Toyota's legendary reliability and yes, it gets great gas mileage!

I love driving my Prius. It's simple, efficient, smooth, easy to park, and it saves money on gas.

I have to say that it's really stupid and pointless how he keeps pointing out the fact that it isn't quick. It's not a sports car, nor is it trying to be. That would be like me reviewing a Smart Car and bitching that it's too small for family's when that's not its target. I like the Prius but I give this review a thumbs down.

I love my Prius. I sat 4 plus me comfortable on a 4 hour drive up north and no one person complained. They said they were comfortable and enjoyed the smooth quiet ride. Yes I have a Prius package 4 so maybe that makes a difference. And I have never had a car so dependable before. I have owned 2 Prius and neither one had any problems at all. Not true with the Hyundai's or Kia's I have owned. And I am one to trade every 2 to 3 years. But the Prius is here to stay this time.

The Prius is reasonably quiet, excepting when I have my real estate signs clunking around in the back. It's nice for hauling customers around, reasonably comfortable. My 2006 gets 42 mpg, my 2004 got 40. I sold that one at 200k, trading up because I didn't want to replace the batteries. They have that problem solved now too. As for "slow". I never have any problems in the fast lane, when do you really get to open that Tesla up anyway, never. I have cruised to LA from the Bay Area at 80 many times, no problem, and amazingly maintain the 40 mpg at that speed. Slow is a fiction, who ever gets to do a quarter mile in 6 seconds anyway, not in my town.

I love my 2013 Prius. The most reliable used car I’ve ever owned!

[emeraldages]

As a prius owner this reviewer is so perfect. I do not give a fuck about emission I drive race cars but the prius as far as a daily car is easily one of the best.

[icarrysig]

the perfect zombie apocalypse car...600miles on a full tank of 12 gal, strap another 5 cans of 5 gal tank and you can cross the country into safer zombie free territories of Mexico

9 Years later and this video still holds true

I live in the city. Only have to fill up gas every 3ish weeks? 2 if I’m driving a lot. And gas only comes up to around 16-18$ around 43mpg. Love my Prius man

I just recently got one of these (same year, even) - sure, it has 178, 000 miles on it, but it still runs like new, with the only two times it broke down for the previous owners being a flat tire and a dead 12V battery.
Sure beats the 2009 G6 I had before that ate two timing chains and two transmissions in 100k miles.

[muradosman]

I just bought my second Prius. The first one was a second generation that lasted over 306k with its original transmission, engine and hybrid battery. The second is a 3rd generation Prius IV that runs great with a better gas mileage.

[B-rad]

It is the perfect point a to point b car hands down. It's probably the only car I've come across that isn't bad at anything and is perfect at being what it needs to be.

[azera]

I drove my grandfather's 2012 Prius Sport and it was very easy to drive. I loved driving it and was shocked at how the gas gauge never moved. I think it's a very good car, although not the most fun.

[colemichael]

I love this version of the Prius! I wish to get a cherry red one from 2013!!

[danwat]

Yup, buy a 3rd gen Prius or a Volt used or an i3 used and it's pure win. Might have to wait a while for the price to come down on the latter 2 cars though but that's my plan

[bumble]

It actually go from 0-60 in power mode in less than 8 sc not 10. Faster than Most car on the Road. It Have 2 Motor and the Electric Motor give instant torque then the gas power kick in.

[middler]

Honestly I zip around in my Prius with little hold back in acceleration and my avg mpg is 50+ year round! Right now it’s 52.2! Last time I did a long 70+ mph road trip I got almost 65mpg while passing people on the interstate! And in PWR mode, it’s more fun to drive than any other compact car I’ve had AND still gets the same mpg! I just test drive the 2019 MAZDA3 for comparison, and was surprised by how great my Prius is!!

[Fiji]

traded in my 13' wrx for a Prius 2 13' I love it. Don't get me wrong I love the wrx but I was putting 20$ every other day for gas and I'm just a college student. So I decided to get a more mpg car and choose the king of mpg haha

[Ocean-blvd.]

Just got one of these as a present today!! 🥰
