Fuel Economy
I'm averaging about 48 mile per gallon. Love that

So much more power than my 08 Prius, this car is fun to drive.
Ride and Handling
Ride is sporty, love mountain roads.
Cons
Braking
Brakes bind a little sometimes making stopping a little harsh.
Pros
Fuel Economy
Technology and Entertainment
Reliability
Cons
Pros
Seat Comfort
Good back support. Also, I’m short and, with a pillow to sit on I can see very well in all directions.
Cabin Noise
It helps me to feel relaxed while driving and doesn’t interfere with the sound quality of music.
Cargo Space
I can carry things I need, like cloth shopping bags and a shovel and window scraper in winter, and still have plenty of room for a week’s worth of groceries, or several suitcases, or a guitar and other musical gear.
Cons
Visibility
I’d better rear visibility.
Pros
Fuel Economy
Fuel efficiency is simply smart and responsible, both financially and environmentally.
Ride and Handling
It is smooth, comfortable, and has tons of head and leg room, even for someone 6'3".
Reliability
Toyota quality all the way. There is a reason that Toyota is always racked high for quality and reliability, and this car is no exception.
Cons
Power
Not the most powerful car, but it has all the power I need to do what I need to do.
Cabin Noise
Not the quietest car, but so much quieter than my old 2008 Prius, and very quiet for a compact car at the price point.
Dashboard
Dashboard is a bit cluttered and the controls are a bit complex, but I quickly got used to them and they are no longer an issue.
Pros
Fuel Economy
My work commute no longer makes me agitated about gas $. I feel great about the mileage, the smooth ride and the comfortable set up in the car.
Cost to Maintain
Only oil change so far.
Technology and Entertainment
Prius is very easy to use and the sound system/radio/CD player are great.
Cons
Cabin Noise
It can be loud sometimes - the low to the ground height probably picks up the road noise a little.
Power
I am worried in advance about replacing the hybrid battery one day - but all the reviews and Prius owners I know just love the car and the battery is has a long endurance record.
Technology and Entertainment
Besides the great radio - the hands free calling is a little old school.
Pros
Fuel Economy
Gotta love the 50mpg.
Technology and Entertainment
My first modern car, so all the tech in this car is awesome.
Cons
Cabin Noise
Pretty noisy inside, probably because of the tires I have for this model.
Power
If only it were a tad more powerful.
Pros
Fuel Economy
I get 70 mpg all the time. I thought it was a mistake when I first started driving it!
Cargo Space
Great hatchback fits a crazy amount of stuff.
Interior Space
It feels like a much bigger car from the inside.
Cons
Cabin Noise
It's a bit noisy on the highway--I often have to turn up the audio to compensate.
Visibility
A little odd rear window visibility with the hatchback and no wiper either.
Seat Comfort
I could use some lumbar support, although a pillow does the trick.
Pros
Fuel Economy
The car gets about 52 mpg
Interior Space
It has a lot more space than you might think.
Value
Toyota makes a great hybrid. For the price, and the possible life of this car, it’s worth it.
Cons
Seat Comfort
Seats are very comfortable for long distances.
Cabin Noise
It’s not as quiet as some luxury cars or heavier cars.
Cargo Space
It has a nice sized trunk.
Pros
Fuel Economy
it’s great on gas!!
Ride and Handling
so smooth and fun to drive
Cabin Noise
love it
Cons
Pros
Fuel Economy
This vehicle is very fuel efficient
Ride and Handling
Love the adjustable cruise control
Reliability
The blind spot sensors and other sensors are keeping me and my family safe <3
Cons
Visibility
The rear window is split in two parts. Something I had to get used to. Still don't love it.
Technology and Entertainment
Seems a bit outdated.
