King of the Mountain

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: I think the Prius will be a smash hit if enough people try it. I also think the oil companies know that. That sure would explain gas prices.
Review: I took advantage of my local Toyota dealership's over-the-weekend test drive program and really put this little booger through its paces. I was not surprised by the great economy, I expected that. I was shocked at its performance in the mountains...

I Love Mine!

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2002
The Bottom Line: Highly Recommended. Best vehicle I've ever owned.
Review: Rather than repeat all the praise, I wanted to pass along that this has been the most enjoyable car I have owned in my 31 years of driving. It's a small car that feels quite close to a luxury car in fit, finish, smoothness and quiet. Sure, it's no...

Beware of Transmission Failures

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2007
Review: Up until now (91K) I have had no problems. I have kept my 2001 Prius well-maintained. However, last week I noticed a humming coming from the engine area. I brought it to a dealer in my area and it was diagnosed as a transmission failure. The cost:...

Prius 4 year Report Card

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend this car for reliability and innovative hybrid technology. I hope the premium paid for hybrid technology drops and the technology evolves over time so that gasoline is conserved.
Review: I purchased my Prius in October 2001 and it is now October 2005 and I have been very pleased so far. It took about a week of driving time to become accustomed to the feel and layout of the car. I have now put on 56,000 miles in the span of those 4...

Awesome Little Car

Date of Review:  May 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone and everyone, without discrimination.
Review: I love my car. That's about all I can say. I bought my car gently used. It's a 2001 model, but I got it in 03. I have taken it from about 23,000 miles to about 69,000 miles in three years with no major hiccups. I bought the car because I attend a...

Little big car

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for anyone looking for a solid, comfortable car that is reliable, gets excellent gas mileage and is fun to drive
Review: When the 2001 Prius was announced, I wasted little time putting in my order. My previous two cars, Chevy Sprint and Geo Metro, both got 50 MPG, so I was excited when Toyota announced the Prius. Finally a solid 4 door sedan that broke the 50 MPG...

Once you read this you will be an expert!!!!!

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: I recommend the Prius for its many Pros for both mankind, nature, and your purse.
Review: There is a myth that cynically environmentally-responsible, electric-drive vehicles, which generate only a fraction of the pollution and CO2 of conventional, fossil-fueled vehicles, are somehow inferior in performance or comfort or safety. That is...

Found a Prius Cruise Control that Works!

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: I recommend the Prius. It is fun to drive and once you have the cruise control its great on trips. Its cool technology and good for the environment. What else?!
Review: Purchase Experience:
We bought our Prius in August of 2000. It arrived in January of 2001. This can be problematic if you are financing your car with a trade-in. We were not, but if we had, the trade-in would have been a year older and worth...

Avoid this car by all means

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: Dreadfully made car that starts to fall apart within a couple of months. Equally dreadful service...
Review: This is one of the most troublesome cars I've ever owned.
Over the year I own it I had to take it to the dealership over 10 times for major repairs. The service was dreadful.
The same problem needed to be repaired over, and over and...
