Drives like a mid-size, Drinks like a tadpole.

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: Not flashy for impulse buyers. It's roomy, comfy, speedy, quality. Gets high miles per gallon, low soldiers per gallon. Psychology and politics aside, it's a great mid size car.
Review: Surprisingly Excellent
I put 5,000 miles on this car in the first 2 weeks. I filled up only 8 times while driving 65 MPH all over Arizona, Nevada and California through mountains and mostly on freeways. This car costs nothing to own and is a...

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2005
The Bottom Line: Today's hybrids have few drawbacks. With rising gas costs, can you afford not to own one?
Review: The dealer didn't give us much of a discount on our 2006, Seaside Blue, tech package Prius. He didn't have to. The demand for the Prius right now is so unholy that the car we looked at on December 23, 2005, a silver '05 Prius, was gone when we...

My Blue Baby

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 2009
The Bottom Line: This car I would recommend. Toyota makes a great product and the Prius is one of them.  Toyota products have never let me down.
Review: I bought my 2006 Toyota Prius used. The car had 19,000 miles on it when I bought it.  I would have to say this is one of the best cars I have owned except for my Toyota Scion. When I can get the very best value on the road, I know I do not need to...

Amazing Hybrid

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2006
The Bottom Line: One of the best all-around cars on the market today.
Review: I got pulled into the buying process for my sister's new Prius. I thought she was nuts. I was wrong. I was very impressed. I have driven a V6 Accord with everything on it for the last 6 years, and I didn't think highly of hybrids, until this car...

Quality, Reliability and Economy - Prius has it all

Date of Review:  May 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Prius is an outstanding value across the board in terms of quality and performance. It is a pleasure to drive and a pleasure to pass gas stations.
Review: The 2006 Prius is the latest in the continuing development of Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive system. This technology is being applied in the Highlander and two Lexus models, all of which are designed for performance with economy whereas the Prius is...

2006 Prius Technical Review

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2006
The Bottom Line: I would buy this car again, we are very happy with it and now drive alot more since we don't have to spend too much on gas.
Review: I have 16,000 miles on my 06 Prius, and love it. I almost bought a Honda Civic Hybrid, but after a 2 months of research, decided to get the Prius. I will explain some differences and why I chose the Prius. The technical part will come later.

Proud Prius Parent

Date of Review:  Sep 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: Even with small to moderate attention to the car, you will achieve impressive fuel economy. And... it's not a compromise.
Review: Well, I have nearly 1500 miles and six weeks on my 2006 Prius, so I finally feel qualified to write a review.

I've leaned towards performance for quite a number of years. Perhaps that was in reaction to my first car (a used '81 Olds...

Cons

It's a decent car, but not a wonder car.

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2006
The Bottom Line: I like Prius, but it's not for everyone. Read carefully about it before you buy it!
Review: We've all ready how spacious it is, and how good it is for the environment, etc. But here's an opinion of someone who's owned one and enjoys driving a car. (My other choice was Mini Cooper-S).

What other 'non-prius' owners say:

Not the most exciting car but great nonetheless -- updated 5/2007

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2006
The Bottom Line: Tax credit. Gas mileage. Resale value. Just buy one.
Review: Update 5/2007

If you are getting a hybrid for the tax break, beware. Although we should have received $3150, due to other tax credits, we only got about $1600. I have found that people with kids or education credits usually do not get the...

Everything they claim it is

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: Buy one of these and help stop global warming, war, and the proliferation of oil executives.
Review: Last year my husband called me and said "I've ordered a Prius". I'm a tree hugger, but his motivation is to "stick it to" the oil companies. It took 5 months to arrive and then a. long. time. at the dealership to get the instructional speech and...
