Toyota Prius Reviews

Electrical malfunction in 2016 Prius. USB charger stops working after 2-3 minutes every day that the phone is plugged in. Car has to be turned off and then back on for it to start working again. Display system blacks out and restarts usually when the USB cord is plugged in. This has occurred 3 times in the last 4 months.

Filling up my gas tank every six weeks is my kind of bling! I thought after owning a Mercedes, I would feel as though I was driving a tuna fish can, but with the exception of the center console that reminds me of a bidet, I love Toyota Prius. It works great for me.

I just sold a 2008 Prius with 113,000 miles that I bought 4 years ago with 75,000 miles. Toyota did a couple recalls on it for no charge when I first got it. I replaced a belt on it and an MFD which went down. Autobeyours repaired the mfd for about $275 and it was easy to do myself using his youtube video. I changed the oil and CVT fluid myself so this was a very inexpensive car to keep. I averaged about 44 mpg over the years. I was planning on keeping it but a 2012 Prius five with all the options became available at a great price and I was able to sell the 2008 for a very good price. Get your Prius checked out at a dealer as they can save you from buying someone else's lemon. Really the best car I've ever had in regards to reliability and gas mileage. The high voltage batteries last from 12-15 years. My wife has a 2014 Three with nav that is also trouble free.

I purchased 2011 Toyota Prius in 2015 from so called very reputed dealer Temecula Valley Toyota. It works pretty well until yesterday July 27, 2017. Out of nowhere, all the warning lights pop up. I parked on side and tried to stop and start again. It started up but with all the warning lights and "system hybrid failure" message on dashboard screen. I flatbed-towed to dealership. After few hours, service department found out that its computer and inverter failed, replacement cost $3500+. Since car has 120,000 miles it's not under warranty. Can't put that kind of out of my pocket. Do you guys have any ideas? I'm thinking about filing small claims. This post is for people who want to buy Prius to save on gas, but keep in mind you may end up spending more on repairs.

I bought a used 2006 Toyota Prius October 2016 with about 66000 miles, my daughter drove it back and forth to school daily and now has 73000 miles and all of a sudden the dashboard started displaying safety error codes (ABS, VSC, Brake, tire warning blinking constantly). Took the car to Toyota dealer for service and paid $128.99 for electronic diagnostic checks to determine cause of failed sensors, they informed me that ABS actuator had failed and all braking safety features have been disabled and cost of repair would be $3200.

GREAT Fuel Economy and smooth Ride. Not much trouble with gliding over pot holes. Very happy with the performance over my last vehicle and I am not worried about many problems in the future. The value is what you can expect for a hybrid car. I am very happy with my purchase. It is a car I will be driving for a number of years.

It survived a few scratches and bumps. It survived for years too through all the seasons and storms then you can pass it down for generations. It has always had good brakes from when I first got it. Good on a lot of terrains and very good for hauling. Pretty made outside and nice height, too. Nice convertible and leather inside, comfortable seats and very roomy front space, as well. I would definitely try to keep this brand of car and brand in the family like cousins all that the whole family.

I really like this car because it has the fuel efficiency like no other car that I have ever driven. It is a very nice car that has smooth 2 wheel drive capabilities. The durability is also a nice added factor. The performance of this car is very nice. I enjoy driving this car around to pick up my kids from time to time. However, I would recommend turning the car off to save energy. Also, the appearance of this car is not too great. The value of this car is somewhat unappreciated. However, I would certainly recommend that one buys this car because it is a good value.

I have gotten in a few minor accidents involving other cars scraping my car or slight rear-ending, but the car still functions fine and has held up well. I am thoroughly satisfied with its durability. The car's performance is efficient, convenient, and consistent. I am a mother of one who has to drive my child to school and then myself to work after, and this car fully fulfills these necessities. Both the interior and exterior appearance of the car are sleek and simple. The inside of the car has a polished leather that is pleasing to the eyes, and the outside of the car has a refined look, no matter what color is chosen (I have white). I bought this car for an extremely affordable price. It functions wonderfully in meeting all of my needs and it also looks great, and so I think the car is worth its value.

The Prius gets excellent gas mileage and is very low maintenance. I haven't had any issues with the car except for routine maintenance/upkeep. I have been very pleased at how economical the car is based on the gas mileage the car gets. It takes a bit getting used to driving a hybrid car. Once you get the hang of "coasting" it increases the MPG and maximizes the car's full potential. It looks a bit too much like an outer space vehicle, but the car's performance makes up for it. The value is excellent for the car's full performance. The car is also reasonable in its pricing. The biggest value is that it will save so much money on fuel during the years you own it.

I enjoy and love the Toyota Prius. It is unique and part of my family. So much durability, I feel my car can be in a good appearance for a thousands years. It also has good performance. Have the same potential of the engineers' cars and is good with the ecosystem. Very good appearance too. The Toyota Prius have a excellent style and design. Toyota always have a good quality in their designs with make by the better designers. Also, has good value for the money because when I bought my Toyota Prius 2014 the bill of the gas station is more lower now. I can buy more beverages now.

I am really impressed with this car. Extremely durable, easily drive-able and stayed amazing for as long as I can remember. The vehicle drives extremely well and is very smooth. I have never had any problems with the car since I got it, and I am so satisfied with it that I would definitely recommend it to someone for its performance. Also, the appearance outside is amazing, it looks so good and shiny, and stays that way. And the inside is very comfortable and even looks great. The value for the price is way worth it and I am very satisfied with the vehicle and how it performs and my overall experience with it, so for the price, it is well worth it.

The value of a Toyota Prius is very good. It ranges from 24,000 to 30,000 dollars. Its resell value is also very good. This car definitely fits my budget for this type and size of car. It is also a hybrid car which is a plus for me. It has great fuel economy and it performs well with great mileage. It is reliable and drives great. It has great braking with a sleek look, and the brakes aren't so grabby as before. Its acceleration is great and it has a comfortable ride over bumpy areas. Also, the car's interior is roomy and comfortable. The exterior of the car is sleeker than before and sportier looking in my opinion. It has more chrome and a high-tech appearance. The rear seats have enough space for most adults.

The car lasts long and is durable. It's great for many many years and won't cause any problems. Overall it's a great car to have and worth the money. I would recommend this the car to everyone and my family.

I found the car to be very durable. I rarely had car problems and I didn't need to get it repaired often, and when I did it was minimal and low cost repairs. I also found the vehicle handled really well. I enjoyed how eco-efficient the car was. The miles to gas ratio was better than any car I have driven, and the ride was always smooth. Also, the interior was very high quality for a low-cost car, and I liked the material and the color of the interior. The exterior was to my liking as well. I like the shape and color of the car. I found that this car was a very high quality for the price I paid for it. The gas efficiency was a major plus. The car was well crafted and the materials didn't look cheap for a car that was reasonable price.

I got it because it looked so great and didn't bother to check anything else. I paid a lot of money and it fell apart immediately. It was my own fault for not checking it better. I did numerous repairs and maintenance, but it just wasn't ever enough. Struts were terrible as well as the brakes went out so many times. I just couldn't deal with this vehicle anymore. I couldn't bring myself to keep it with its numerous mechanical issues. It just wasn't safe enough to drive everyday and I was afraid it was going to fall apart. I sold it immediately. It was nice in appearance, just wish it was better with the mechanical aspect.

While the car may be kind of slow, very slow start up speed actually this thing saves me tons on gas money each year. It's lasted me 3 years so far. The battery may be dropping juice so I will have to get that replaced but the engine is running just fine. Haven't replaced anything yet. Not very stylish but it suits my needs well. There is enough room to put what I need in it. But the shell of the car is a joke to look at, odd shape. Battery cost is through the roof so I'm not too happy about that. Great value if you want to save on gas money each year and live near your destinations.

This vehicle will comfort you all the rides you go. You can go everywhere you want and you will have your life protected every bit of the way. I recommend this to everyone! Its fast and can store as much gas as possible for all your adventures. The appearance is slick and smooth as hell. The car is overall decent. I love this car because its so cheap and wonderful. And this will be your best buy if you're trying for a cheap car with a small price range.

Rocks & other materials that fly up during driving in more remote places have already made dents in the car but I guess it holds up good enough. The acceleration & mobility when turning in offroad areas is very impressive. I think the car is very attractive & I bought this choice mainly based off looks. This is the kind of car I'd feel confident driving around town and showing off. There are many interior features of the car that I do appreciate highly but I'm not happy with how well it holds up. I expected more a lot because of how pricey this car was. Although I was quite disappointed with how this experience ending up turning out, the price was within my budget.

It's very durable for everyday use and car pooling. Not a single problem with anything on the car breaking and I'm hard on it. Nice solid build. Well worth it. Awesome performance, too. Nice to drive no matter if you're going on a long trip or short trip. Don't have to stop much, it just keeps on going. I love it. Well made interior and exterior. Great features and powered. A little tight inside for tall people like me but if you can put the seat back all the way very comfortable to drive. The value is great especially all the gas money it saves you. You get a lot for the price. I recommend it highly.

I've put over 80k miles on this car and it looks brand new. It looks great and has never let me down. I was worried it would feel plastic, but I was wrong. People teased me about "handling hills" in a Prius. It was never an issue. I've always been proud to drive the car and pass people driving up steep hills. It's not a sports car but that's not what I paid for. It's cute, reliable, and stays clean with minimal effort on my part. I've spilled red Gatorade inside and it cleaned up without skipping a beat. Not only was the car inexpensive but cheap to drive and to maintain. It's the perfect car for a commuter. I've driven mine cross country both ways 3x, with no issues.

My Prius lasted a long time and I still have the car. It is my favorite car and it gives a lot of mileage. The durability for this is good and I can also get high mph with this car. The interior is soft and the exterior was also good because it protects me if I get into a crash. I am happy because I got the car for a good price and I would recommend.

The brand has a long lasting engine and have the ability to cover distance within minutes. It's so strong and cannot be easily damage with slight hit. The tyre are also very satisfactory. The performance is highly recommendable due to the various features its posses, factory fitted air conditioning, manual processing. It has the ability to cover miles within a given time. The sound system is highly superb. It is highly recommendable and is really valuable.

It can be difficult to get the gas for a certain place. The gas runs out very quickly. Also, my car is big and it can sometimes be hard to get it in a certain place. The check engine goes on a lot and I tried to fix it but it didn't work. But it is very good overall. My friends like it and I am very happy with it. I like it appearance. I didn't find the colors that I wanted but I got a decent color. It is expensive but not as expensive as other cars. It is very good for its price. I do recommend it to anyone who is interested in this car.

It has been a very good car with no troubles so far. It's not a rugged vehicle but that's not why I bought it - I purchased for fuel economy which I like and the high tech features of it. I also like the push button start. The interior is sufficient for a car of its size. It can seat five people. I was able to get a good price on the car and I am grateful for that (saved money). The one disadvantage is that it's a bit hard to see out the interior mirror. Also the car does not have a lot of power given that it is a 4 cylinder. Nevertheless, it has been dependable and I have a 75,000 warranty on it.

I like the look of it, nice durable paint and finish. The interior is ergonomic, very comfortable and pleasant. The almost heads-up main display (speedometer, odometer, warning lights,etc.) is a brilliant idea and something I really miss on other cars. Has back-up camera and integrated electronics - can connect your cell phone via Bluetooth and integrated cd, radio, and navigation.

The car lasts a long time and is family friendly. It has lasted my family across hundreds of miles and hasn't needed repair for over five years. The performance of the vehicle is very good. It's smooth and is able to stop suddenly when there's an emergency. While this isn't a sports car, it is a safe and comfortable design and it's fun to be in. It can host a good amount of people in the car while being comfortable with leather seats. The overall appearance is good. The value is incomparable. While the car may be pricey brand new, it's well worth the cost and will last a long time.

Overall, I'm very happy with the performance of my car. It handles well on the road. I have never had a problem with it in the winters on icy roads like I expected to. It also accelerated fairly fast. This is a great car for traveling distances because of the gas efficiency. It is also very visually appealing. It had a sleek look to it and I really like the pastel colors. Although, some may see it as being a little too feminine or perhaps appealing only to younger audiences. And it is a little small for driving with kids in the car. It would be amazing if there were a slightly bigger version. But it is a good car and the cost is pretty good for how long I believe that it will last, though I was disappointed to see how much the value of the car drops once it's no longer brand new.

While the Toyota Prius is average as far as durability and I would not say it is the best, it is also far from the worst. The performance is good for a car of that price range. I have driven more powerful cars but none that has as high an MPG. Don't expect to tow your boat with it though. Nevertheless, it is a great looking car and I love how sporty it looks. I like the interior as well. Also, the price was good and for the money I got what I expected. I've saved so much in gas since getting this car. The value of this car is outstanding for what you get. I have experienced no major problems to date. If the car holds up for a while, I will have no complaints.

The vehicle drives fine. It's big, fast, and drives at 1000000 miles. Performance isn't a issue. I highly recommend to anyone that wants to buy it off me for a unique price. Also it will come with a turbo nitrous attached to it as a optional attachment if you want the ultimate package. The beast of this vehicle is the turbocharger. When this baby gets crankin, performance becomes ridiculously good. It is red with retrofitted chromed out wheels. Windows are tinted with a custom made vinyl underneath the car, plus the car shoots out custom made gas flames. Value of the car is 30,0000. Unlike any car in the world... you won't find a car much better out there than this one set at a insane value. It takes a rich mans fat pockets to be able to hold this cars value.

The best car ever. The performance is just like any car. It does its job and performs well. It doesn't dent if you hit objects such as poles and signs. I have crashed into poles multiple times by accident with still no dents ANYWHERE. The price is also pretty low compared to other cars. I recommend it to everyone. It is really worth it and it’s a 9/10 car. It looks amazing and is literally a tank. It doesn't look bad at all but it doesn't even fight against sports cars.

Truly dependable whenever I need it to be. Has been a great benefit to my wallet. Truly this car gets great gas mileage. I have saved so much on gas over the past year that I am able to afford all other kinds of things with all the money I have saved from purchasing this vehicle. Also, I have never even had to have a repair except for routine main. This a great dependable value for your dollar. Good radio system. It purrs like a kitten and keeps on going and going like that rabbit of old. Great get up and go. Sleek, stylish, smart, compact, smooth, great looking tires are great looks. Very safe and reliable, very conservative, looking environmentally friendly.

I'm one of those that are big on a car simply looking decent. I'm not about some souped up car with exotic colors or that is flashy. The appearance is really nice and standard for these type of vehicles. I think this car holds significant value that will hold the test of time. Considering that I keep up with all of my products then I should be fine. Plus, the value of the car is something that is pretty much a steal for how solid it is. The durability of the vehicle was pretty nice from what I can see. It isn't some tank that will last through it all, though it can definitely take its share of lumps and bumps. The performance was really impressive to me. I like how smooth the drive was which is something that is understated I feel. Turning didn't feel like I was fighting against the wheel and it just felt like I was at home in this car.

The Toyota Prius is actually really great, very awesome, and cool! It got me through the slush of Minnesota. It has great mileage on it and it can go pretty fast. I like speeding down the highway sometimes at night. I like to pretend I'm in Fast and Furious. This car is awesome and I would recommend it to everyone. It is also really elegant both inside and out. It looks so chic and sexy. The interior is beautiful with leather seatings and the dashboard has a glossy finish to it. It's absolutely amazing. The Toyota Prius is also very affordable. Some would consider me to be upper middle class and I was able to afford this car so I guess it's true. The car is worth every penny I paid for it.

Car handling does well. Great speed, great power and like the color. Enjoy the interior with all the chrome accents around throughout the car. Would definitely buy another car like this one in the future. The car has great performance, great horsepower. It's a 6 cylinder 4 seater car sedan. Gets up and goes when you need it to. I really love the appearance of this car. Its mainstream lines beautiful colors to choose from. Also, the price value of the car was fairly reasonable. I talk to the car associate and he explained with tax deposit. I also was told about the trade-in policy of my older vehicle.

I love the look of my Prius. It looks small on the outside, but on the inside there is more than enough space, which is perfect if you need to take kids back and forth, or anyone. It does get me where I need to go but, it is not the fastest car out there. That is fine with me because I do not have to drive super fast to get where I need to go. The value of the car is very good. I would upgrade a few things, but I am sure that these things will get upgraded in the future with newer models.

Toyota Prius has amazing durability, perfect for traveling, it will accommodate your every need and it will satisfy you. This car is also beautiful and sleek, inside and out. I fall in love with it everytime I look at it and this is the feeling that I feel like everyone should feel. Such a great value for what you are getting. It's gas efficient, rarely needs to go to the shop. Not only is it gas efficient but it's also a high performing vehicle. It's a really good car that I feel like anyone who is confused about what car to purchase I will send them on this path. I love it, love it. I am so happy with this purchase. It is a amazing car that I recommend to everyone that I know.

It looks fun and innovative. The color assortment and the design are to die for. The look is up and coming and by far one of the best on the market. However, while on the freeway above 70 mph the car begins to wobble and seems to be lifting to the left. Also, the get up gas accelerate is not up to par. I don't know if other drivers have experienced the lack of giddie up but I certainly have. This car is not what I expected as far as durability. I paid good money and expected far more than what I received. I will not be ever purchase another Toyota product. I don't understand how they maintain resale value.

This car is so dependable, it's fantastic. I feel like it's the most reliable car I've ever owned, by far. This is a wonderful vehicle. Really great. It drives like a dream. Fun and lovely to drive, and very zippy. I was very impressed. It performs beyond my expectations. Appearance is wonderful. It looks great both inside and out. It's small but roomy. It fits our family's needs perfectly. I think it's a very cute car. It's totally worth the value. It may be more expensive but worth it by far. I love everything about it.

My husband and I were in a car accident. This little thing is extremely durable and our car was not totaled in the wreck. This vehicle can also go very fast without you realizing it as it drives smooth. And it's nice and quiet, too. Also, this car is great on gas. It is a value that is good to invest in in the long run for the simple fact that I travel quite often and always love to save on gas. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone.

The durability of this vehicle was indescribable. I went everywhere in it. It took a lot of very harsh Midwest winters, but it always started and always got good gas mileage. I would recommend this car to anyone who wanted to get their money’s worth out of a vehicle. It looked like a fairly expensive car and I always got lots of nice compliments when I went to the store or to Walmart or from people where I worked. The value of the car was extremely good compared to others. It paid for itself very quickly and didn't need a lot of maintenance except the usual oil change and check-up.

The Prius handles rough roads well. Perfect for off-road and rough terrain. I've owned mine for over 2 years and have not had to have it worked on once. It's a smooth and comfortable ride that handles nicely and allows for easy maneuvering. A lot of power without losing the finesse. I'd recommend to anyone. I love the sleek and modern design. The interior design is very well suited for the style of vehicles. It gives the appearance of luxury and ruggedness at the same time. For everything that is offered, these vehicles are priced very reasonably. It serves as a family car and a bachelor's ride. It gets me where I need to go in style.

The vehicle has a stylish interior and comfortable seating at the back and front with plenty of leg room. It has an innovative design, trunk space and added extras for safety and maneuvering better in traffic. The windows are designed for better sight in traffic and eye level from the driver's seat. Also, it is easy and quiet when opening the doors. Moreover, it has great horsepower and fuel economy for an eco friendly, smooth and quiet ride. There are different ECO configurations for different needs. You get exactly what you paid for - a luxury feel at an affordable price, whether buying or leasing.

The car is durable and feels sturdy while seated and driving. It is also very comfortable. I feel safe with this car. You can almost feel how well it's made and not worry about the destruction of the vehicle if it were in an accident of sorts. Everything works as it should. Never have engine problems or any other problems under the hood or anywhere else for the matter. I love the appearance of this car. It's compact and neat looking. It has plenty of room to shop or travel. This car is definitely worth what I paid for. It does go beyond expected. Material and items inside the car are not cheaply made. It looks and feels as if it'll last a lifetime.

The durability of the vehicle is very good. It has lasted up to 15 years for me now and is still running strong. I've only had to repair it a few times and only for little things. Its performance has been very good for the most part. The interior and exterior of the car is very nice. I really like the leather seats and the amount of storage it provides. I also like that it's very easy to clean if something is spilled. I would say that this brand of car is very worth the money since it is very durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Even though at times it's not the best durability for the price that I've paid I know that there is no way to get it for a better price and they are very very reasonable for what it is. The best performance that I've seen a car have. I've never seen a car perform so good, and it's better then the last 2 cars I've had on and off the road. The best looking car that you can find is right here. The value is just right being a affordable price so that if anyone wants to buy this car they can buy this car even if they're the average everyday Joe.

I purchase my Toyota in November 2015. I have had any problems and is completely happy with my decision. I paid roughly $30,000 and it has a seller value of at least $20,000. I like that it's a full hybrid electric automobile and it's among the best fuel economy vehicles on the market. It's functional for all my daily activities and stylish at the same time. This vehicle is very efficient and a fun car to drive. Its fuel-sipping engines uses less gas than every hybrid competitor, and its powertrain delivers good acceleration for city traffic like Atlanta.

I have a beautiful shiny blue car. The interior is perfect for me, my children, and our life. We have enough room which is very surprising. Also, I can drive it anywhere anytime. I have driven on all kind of roads and yet I always feel as if I am driving on a newly paved road. I so not even mind driving on rocky dirt roads. I feel very safe in my car and I drive around a lot of children a lot of time and have not had a problem yet. I paid such a small amount for the value I received. It is one of the top ten values and truly one of the best deals of my life. Thanks.

The Prius is Probably the best car I have ever driven. It Runs very smooth and the Motor is stronger than I thought it would be. The gas mileage is very good and Gets me where I need to go. Usually most cars I have owned have engine issues but this car is just like when I bought it. I love the look of it, too. It's small and cute, yet it looks like a decent car. It can be a car for anyone really. I also love how it is easily customizable. And You get what you pay for which in this case it is a very great car. I feel the pricing is fair. I know this car will last me for years to come.

I thought it was quite durable, which had a large impact on my decision to buy. Possible one of the best cars I've owned. It was absolutely fantastic. I loved it and I even considered gifting one to my ex-husband. This car was better than four horses. It was amazing. Best performance in a car I've seen on this side of the millennium. Stylish is an understatement when speaking of this vehicle. I wish all cars were required to live up to this standard. This is like the car next door you've always had a crush on but never spoke to, yep a Prius! I've never got such bang for my buck and as soon as I drove this thing, it slapped me on the cheek and asked me where I've been all my life.

I never had any problems with the Toyota Prius thus far and it seems to be a good vehicle to have when you have kids. It is safe and secure. It's a good car, and it doesn't waste gas. It's electric and awesome. Love the style of it as well. Nice, sleek looking vehicle to have. Value is pretty cheap considering it's electric. Wouldn't pay any more for it though. Would have loved to pay less but I can't control that.

Car is honestly worth it. Especially for the price it's running for. Not high cost. Great on gas and if you want a car that does use up a lot of gas, this is perfect. Nice average sized vehicle and nice built and body. Inside is not too spacious but not really small either. Also, easy to drive/navigate and gets you wherever you need to go with no problem. I still drive it 'til this day. I've had no problems with this car so far. Overall, nice car and it's perfect in every way. I would honestly recommend.

The Prius is small and I mostly dislike this car because it needed to be fixed a lot at least in my experience of having this car. The performance was terrible. I was constantly fixing this car. Also, the appearance just looks gross. It's foreign so of course the car is an ugly shape and the whole car looks disgusting. It was only good with the interior such as the radio and seats. I also like how the trunk is though and it is pretty nice. The value of this car is pretty good. You get great gas mileage for a pretty cheap car but you have to fix the car a lot so I guess it's not worth it completely.

This vehicle is very good on gas and overall consumption of oil. Best for experienced drivers who want to conserve natural resources. Also for people who want to take their time and not be in a hurry. This gives you the best gas mileage. However there are different drive modes. One of which is power mode which is very sporty. If you are in a hurry it will get you there fast. My model of the Prius is not the newest. So it is very nice design that is aerodynamic on the outside with a very smooth interior. The digital dash makes it simple to understand and use. While the car was at a fair price with bank financing it cost a little more than I wanted to pay for this model. When you consider the money I save on gas it is still a fair deal.

It is expensive for the features and anything you want to add. For the money I would expect more and really didn't get it. But there is a roomy interior if that makes a difference. It is very durable, fancy looking and it has all of the features I expect in a great car. I have a nine year old child that love to climb around in the car when we are parked. Nothing has broken or chipped like in other cars. Also, it is a nice car that gets many compliments on the appearance and color. But it is slow and does not Drive very well in inclement weather. Rain and snow slow this car down and there is no pickup and go from a stop.

It runs great and don't need to worry about getting gas for the car. It is just what I was expecting when purchasing it. The performance is very good and I have not seen any flaws with the performance since purchasing it over 2 years ago. Really like the way the car drives also. The design is very nice. It's not like it is a luxury car, but it looks pretty good for the value I paid for it. In general it was a good purchase. I really like how much I got for the purchase of the vehicle. The value is very good.

The Prius performs the way we need it to every time. It is one of best vehicles we have had to date. The vehicle I have has never had any problems whatsoever and it always gets me and my family where we need to go. We have not had to take in for service of any kind, except for routine oil changes and fluid top off is about it. I highly recommend it for performance, maintenance and reliability. It may be a little funky looking and have its quirks, but that just adds to the car's charm, it will definitely stand out in a crowd to be sure. It is the best value for gas mileage and overall cost of any vehicle on the road today. If you're looking for a car that keeps money in your pocket, this is the one.

I had the Prius the first year that it came out in the US. As a result there were some glitches, but they were all repaired without cost to me. I drove the car 180,000 miles before the battery needed replacement. The gasoline engine was solid as was the electric. Performance was exceptional except when climbing for considerable miles with a level patch. This caused the electric engine to lose its charge and I had to run on the gasoline engine up two steep passes in particular, the climb from Salt Lake City to Summit Park and the climb out of Las Vegas going southwest. As a result the car was going about 50 when I reached the top.

I have no problem with my Prius. I had to replace brakes at 40,000 which was a little earlier than other vehicles I have owned but have not had any mechanical problems while owning it. I am happy with the performance of my Prius. It has much more power than I had assumed before I test drove one. It does feel as stable on turns as other vehicles I have owned but is adequate. Passing speeds while on highway also outperformed my initial thoughts. The car has nice curves but still a bit narrow. Wish they would widen the vehicle some in newer models. It does have a nice unique look to it that makes it stand out from other vehicles. Any additional cost of owning a hybrid have been re-accounted for within first two years with the fuel efficiency. Toyota builds long lasting vehicles that hold their resale price so I feel very satisfied with my purchase.

My car is easy on gas and such a smooth drive. We have traveled to Florida and have made it with great gas mileage. It's little on the outside but very roomy inside. Lots of space for shopping and gets amazing miles to the gallon. Its great looks give it a unique style next to other cars its size. So many colors to pick from not like others that only come in a few colors. You can really express yourself with this car. The price of these cars are just great and they are so worth it. I love to drive my car and be seen. It's just amazing all the way around.

I have no issues with Toyota Prius. It's very fast and fun to drive. Its performance is great. I really enjoy driving the vehicle and everything works perfectly. I would definitely recommend the vehicle to anyone looking for a new car.

The car is very durable. I've had it for many years without any problems. It has got me to and from work without any issues. I highly recommend this car. I have really enjoyed driving this car because it was extremely nice and smooth. Overall the price I paid for it was worth it.

I've had this car for a few years now and have not had one problem with it. I have to drive down a very long, nasty dirt road at least 3 times a week and my car is still in great shape! It drives nice and smooth. Accelerates fantastically. It feels like you're in a luxury car. Steers good and brakes great! It's an easy car to drive for the first time. Its outside exterior is sleek and beautiful. Easy on the eyes. The inside exterior is comfy and clean, very luxurious. I always get compliments on my ride. I'm a single mom that works full time and I had no problem with the value. It's a great car for a great price. Good for anybody lower, middle, or upper class people.

The vehicle is far from the strongest ever built. It is small and almost seems rather fragile. Plus all the separate parts are expensive. It goes fast and slow when you need it to. It has amazing gas mileage (which is awesome), and will for sure get you where you need to go. It's just the right size, shape, and color, and I love the way it screams about being so cute. It's absolutely adorable. I love this stinking little thing. It is rather expensive, but absolutely worth it for the gas milage alone! After the initial price shock, you realize that it is going to give you your money back in every way.

The car's appearance was very appealing compared to others. The performance was very credible, it actually exceeded my expectations. It stood up longer compared to most vehicles & it's definitely worth giving it a try. Value was of high quality. I'd recommend this to anyone without even hesitating. You should consider this & you won't be disappointed.

I haven't had at kinds of mechanical problems at all with my car, it runs amazing. I used to have problems with my previous car for chugging noises, but the Prius is silent. It's great. It runs like a charm and it doesn't lag when I get on to the highway. Also, the brakes are responsive immediately, which makes me feel safer. It's a super cute and compact car. The compact aspect helps me with parking, which makes life so much easier. Initially, it was a bit of a hit to buy it, but after saving money in gas because of its good gas mileage, it's completely worth the price.

The durability of the vehicle is amazing. It runs and drives smoothly and everything on the car functions as it should. It's very comfortable while driving also. The performance is overall great. It's very reliable no matter where you go, whether is across state or if you're traveling out of state. It's a great travel vehicle. The interior is cloth but is very easy to keep clean and to maintain. It has a lot of room for things like groceries or luggage. The exterior has a shiny coating and looks very nice after it's washed. The price of the vehicle is pretty good for the quality and performance. Have not had any issues with it. It has all the features it deserves to have for the price it is.

The cars engine is so quiet. It's very relaxing and enjoyable to drive this car. It's one of the most gas efficient car out there and the engine also has enough horsepower to drive like other conventional vehicle. When I just brought the car, one tank of gas which cost 25 dollars is enough for me to drive from Mountain View to Las Vegas without having to stop and refill gas in the middle. Its engine is very reliable too as it has never break down or fail to start since the time I brought it which is three years ago. The exterior can be improve as there is nothing fancy or special with the design. However the interior is very advanced. It has a bigger space inside than you thought when you look at it from outside. Although it is slightly more expensive than other non hybrid car, the gas saving overall can make up the gap and may even more economically viable in the long run.

The Toyota Prius's durability is above all others. If you are looking for a vehicle with a sleek finish with great durability look no further. My Prius is durable through all aspects of roads. It performs like no other vehicle with a smooth quiet drive and can easily tackle all those harsh bumpy roads in a breeze. Its all around performance is impeccable and has a performance to prove it. It has a beautiful interior that is to my expectations in a vehicle with its beautiful leather seats and its modern finish and hardware. The exterior is beautiful with an awesome shape and built. With the Toyota Prius you definitely get a better value for your dollar. It looks very expensive but is surprisingly very affordable. The Prius is well above all other vehicles but with a low price tag to where just about anyone can afford it.

It has great speed as well as it is smooth on the roads. The steering is amazing and you can go far and be relaxed while driving. A great car to go driving through the city with. It also has great fuel quality that it will help with cost and is great for anyone who wants to help protect the environment. The interior is nice with the seats and driving stick being so eloquent. The exterior is nice as well with the doors and the truck and to style. It has a good value. Wish is was a bit cheaper since it is very expensive though the fuel money you save kind of offsets the costs of buying one.

The Prius is a nice little cute car and it works wonderfully. The brakes in the car are amazing and they work when needing to make a quick stop. The tires work in all kinds of weather. I saved gas because it recharges itself so you only have to put in a little bit of gas a week. It has a control system on the screen in the middle of the car to let you know everything that is happening. Also it tells you if anything is wrong with the car on the screen. It shows the screen when backing up to make it easier to park. In addition, the interior is nice. It has all leather seating and is also automatic. It is of high value because you get your money's worth. Also it is of newer technology because of how it works and what the car has to offer.

I love Toyota Prius very much. It's wonderful and amazing. It's kind and caring, and I am very happy. It drives me everywhere I want to go and I find myself going places I never knew I could go before. So I want to go to these places all the time. It's beautiful and it's pink. I love pink. It's my dream car and it has diamonds all around it. It runs like a charm and I will use it forever.

The Prius is able to drive in tough conditions, like icy roads and steep hills and heavy snow and rain. I feel confident driving no matter the condition. I can count on the car being safe and easy to control, and I am able to stay safe in the road. The car rarely breaks down and I can rely on it even on long trips. I don't ever feel that it will break down on the side of the road and I don't worry about being stranded somewhere. The car is sleek and has a very nice look. The interior is professional looking as has a very smooth and finished look. The colors look clean and the whole car looks very nice in total. The car is worth the price. Considering the safety and look, I would recommend the car to anyone. Considering the value of other cars, the value of the car is great for what you get.

I love my car. It performs very well. On top of not breaking down, I get great mileage. It is a four-cylinder car however if you are not careful the car can speed up to 100 miles without you feeling it. My car has miles and I have had no issues other than changing oil and replacing tires. It has leather interior and even though it's a few years old the seats look like new. I also appreciate the fact that the car look small from the outside but is very roomy inside. Currently my car is worth around $7k however it runs like a new car. It's incredibly quiet and for that price I am getting a deal! I will not buy another car until this one stops running regardless of how much its worth as years pass by. My car is a 2007 Toyota Prius and when need to buy a new car I will buy a Toyota again.

I've had the car for years now and it's very durable, I love it. I also have family member and friend that have it AND say the same thing about it. It's super smooth on the road and comfortable for me and my passengers. Also, it is very safe for everybody in the car. Then there's a great variety of colors to chose from and styles and I like when I have an option to choose from what I'd like and my style. It is a great car at a great value.

There has not been any major issue with this vehicle after I purchased it. It is comfortable and fuel efficient. It has been great owning this car for the past 3 years. It can go up to 80 miles per hour on highway and is smooth driving on both highway and city road. It is fair decent looking. The model comes with many different colors to choose from. Inside is also decent and the material used is quite comfortable. For the vehicle performance and durability and the value it provides, I think it is pretty economical and good value to purchase this vehicle.

It was not the best and not the car for me or my family. It was not what we were looking for. There are so many other better cars out there for our family and yours. On a positive note it is stronger than a toothpick and I am glad it had seatbelts and windows. It was nice to look at. However looks are not everything. Sometimes function is more important than form and this is one of those times. It is a car that depreciate in value like leftovers.

I can always count on this company to deliver the speed and durability it's known for. The performance of the car is amazing and reliable. Doesn't take that long to work and very fast. The customer service if there is ever a problem they fix it right away. The appearance is very clean and durable. It's very sleek and trendy and it's up to date. It updates itself every couple weeks so I don't have to worry about the appearance and performance. The value is very reasonable and not that bad. They give you such an offer for a great deal when it comes to the amenities that go with the car.

Happy with its durability. It seems like it will last and be a good option. I am surprised that the car is so tough. I didn't think it would be at first. I am happy with the performance. It drives well and saves me on gas. I am also happy with the appear. I love how the car looks - it really is a beautiful machine. I was just unhappy with the original cost of the car. It's expensive. I would have preferred it to be a little cheaper. However now that I realize the performance I feel better. I am happy with its value. It seems to be a good buy for my money.

I have a 2010 Prius that I really like... except the front headlights burn out every 30,000 miles. And now the paint is cracking and chipping off the driver side door. I've never seen paint chip off for no reason. I spoke with my local dealership. They said there was nothing they could do. I've emailed the issue to Toyota but haven't received a response. I'll be disappointed if Toyota doesn't stand behind their paint.

The appearance is very appealing and futuristic. The look is none like the others. You will definitely stand out driving on the road. It very compact and sleek looking. The durability of the car is very cheap and very prone to accident. I wouldn't feel safe at all. By first appearance it might be appealing but after seeing it for a couple of days you grow tired of the car. The performance met my expectations because it was a Prius and it's suppose to be eco-friendly and it does save me a lot of money on gas so that's a plus. The value is kind of pricey but in the long run you save more money because of the amount of gas you are saving.

Toyota Prius is small, compact and with a strong battery. It has good quality frame and body components to help keep passengers safe. Powertrain can hold up to very tough terrain compared to other comparable vehicles from other manufacturers. The powertrain seems to be a very thought out process during design for long life and keep passengers safe. The car handles great, very responsive and has good acceleration for a electric car. Appearance could be better. If the car had more of a common car look, a lot more sales would be made. The interior of the car is very nice and seems to hold up well over time with all the electronics. Overall its cheaper owner operating cost is a great value. Also Toyota Prius is a highly recognized brand which brings value back in when sold or traded.

The durability of the Toyota is pretty good, best one I got so far. It can last for a while and I like it a lot. The vehicle is great. Also the performance of the Toyota is at the top. I like to drive fast so the car can handle it. Everything about the car is pretty nice. I got mine in red because I thought it looked really nice. I like how they designed the car and the value is pretty decent. You pay for what you get and I got a pretty good one. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to buy it.

It works well with all of my children, they all play sports and the vehicle is well beyond able to haul everything needed. The vehicle runs smooth, is great on gas, has plenty of room, brakes are amazing, the horsepower is awesome and my family loves it. I love the black leather interior and the smooth glossy look of the black paint job on the outside of the vehicle, the clear coating makes the vehicle shine in the sun and sparkle with the metal flakes in the paint. The value of the car is well worth the asking price. The vehicle is amazing and we are trying to get ahold of others to buy the vehicle. We would recommend this vehicle to any and everyone we know.

Very durable. The car is small and easy to drive. It maneuvers while traveling short as well as long distances. The Prius also has no blind spots. I love the car. The exterior of the car is streamlined and aerodynamic. The interior is roomy in the front as well as in the back. The backseats fold down which is wonderful. The Prius is a great value for the price. The car pays for itself because it gets a lot of miles to the gallon of gas. It is a great hybrid car.

I love my rugged Prius though I'd suggested no mountain climbing or deep dunes. It'd be great off roading OR camping. I enjoy long drives. It preformed like a powerhouse with great handling. I love its reliability with performance handling. Also, it's gorgeous and plush. Interior is comfortable and relaxing. It's a decent value and the maintenance is OK but can be costly.

I feel safe driving my family in Toyota Prius. Accidents happen all of the time and I am sure that if we are ever in one that my family and I will most likely walk away from it. It drives very well. I am teaching my 15 year old boy and my 16 year old boy how to drive now. I will be using it to teach them how to drive. It's not a pretty car by any means. It is actually quite ugly in my opinion. But I did not want to buy it based on looks alone anyway. Also, we all know that these are good to great to excellent for the value you get from them. It is in my opinion that these cars are good value for price.

It is very, very nicely built and got a killer deal on mine!! Only 18,000. Saved $6000. I love every aspect of my car and then some. I hope they keep up the awesome work. But I just wish it had a little bit more horsepower in it and a lower acceleration. Also, all I wish is they had a bigger group of pre painted cars for this make and model. Other than all that above it is a very nice car. I would recommend to any Toyota lover and already have amazing company, amazing car, amazing price, amazing everything pretty much about it.

This vehicle has been around a while and holds up pretty well except the windshield wipers only last for a year or two, same with all of the tires as well. It performs well, the gas mileage is a little low but the brakes and gas pedals respond very well and don't have a delay either with them. The color is very nice and the paint hasn't come off since I bought it nine years ago and the doors and their handles are very nice. The value was very good, got it under cash for clunkers off of my very old car nine years ago and the car itself was very cheap for a hybrid car.

The car is very light on gas, small, very interesting and actually versatile and little for me and my whole family members. The engine is very useful and has a good motor. It's is good for women like me and my entire family members. It's very attractive, has a good quality modern space, good quality seat, modern colors, good tire and inside had a lot of space. It's very comfy, good for road trips, reliable and safe. Also, it has a big enough storage for a family grocery trip. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a new or used car.

It's a good car that last long and can really take some wear and tear, including from children and from pets on occasion. It has great performance and has never failed to get me from point a to b and occasionally to a-z in between. It has good speed, good gas mileage, and the AC/heat is awesome. It's a nice looking car with its curves and edges. It came in a wide selection of colors and was difficult to decide which awesome color to pick. It's also very comfy and appealing inside as well. It's a good value for a car that you drive everyday or just for weekend getaways.

I really love my car because makes me feel important and make me feel like a considerate person with the planet because my car reduce the level of damage to the ambient. My hybrid car have all the potency that I want. I have no jealous of the others cars because the mine are very good. I don't will change it. It has good appearance, too. The people always recognize my car and knows all the features of that, I really enjoy that. It makes me feel good and so much cool. Also, it's A good value for the money. When I purchased I knew that, I have more money now because the bill of combustible are very, very low and I love that.

The Prius runs well, I pimped it out for my local street races (legal ones). People laugh at first, but not after the race. They are usually very surprised at its ability. The car has a sleek and modern design, but not too sci-fi looking. I gave it a bomb ass paint job and changed the wheels for the aesthetic effects. The car hasn't shown any wear in the two years of me owning it. I've only had to bring it to the shop for routine inspections. It has an extremely dope price for what you get from it. Not to mention the money saved on gas with the ridonkulous gas prices. The saved money allowed for me to give the ride some MLG upgrades.

This car is very dependable and cost effective. Takes me where I want to go in comfort and style. I would highly recommend this car to anyone looking for eco-friendly yet stylish. The car has great pick up and rides very smoothly at any speed. It has all the bells and whistles you could ask for. The interior is sophisticated and modern yet comfortable. Also, the inside is as special as the outside. Great color combination and very hip. I get compliments daily on how cool of a car it is. I love showing it off around town. You could not find a better value. The car has excellent mpg and it looks sporty. It is roomy without the big price tag you would expect. I love it.

2007 Prius Dashboard goes black about every 3 months. Engine shuts off, dash goes black. Can't steer. Uses a quart of oil every thousand miles. 1995 Honda Del Sol looks terrible but no problems compared to Prius.

I bought my 2007 Prius new. It has performed flawlessly for nearly 10 years and 100,000 miles. A few weeks ago it failed to start -- lots of warning lights on the dash. It turned out to have a couple of inches of water in the battery well in the boot (trunk). A quick Google search revealed a design flaw that opens up a small crack just near the rear hatch hinges aft of the roof rack gutter trim. The car has paid for the 'hybrid premium.' The UK tax saving and fuel efficiency have easily mitigated the additional purchase cost. And, when I bought the car, I took the view that I was investing in green technology development and knew that I was taking a risk.

I have had endless problems with this car. The first problem was with the passenger side headlight going out after about 2 years and because I was over the warranty mileage Toyota would not replace it and had to pay $600.00 then 2 months later the driver side headlight goes out. Now I got a problem with the dash light going out – combination meter and the warranty was for 9 years and the problem started a month after the warranty ended. I also have a problem with the clear coat. This is not my first Toyota but it will be my last.

I have 3 Toyota Prius. A 2004, 2005 and 2008. The 2004 and 2005 have had the same problem in that the dash lights go out. When this happens you cannot open the rear hatch unless you turn the car off which is another problem. I am a mail carrier and use both cars on the mail route to save gas. It makes it hard to get packages out of the back especially around the holidays when we are overloaded. The lights not coming on affect whether it is time to fill up with gas or not, the mileage to the next oil change as the odometer stops working and never resets if and when the lights decide to come back on. I have run out of gas because of this.

This is my 2nd Prius. I love the amazing mileage I get with a Hybrid and the dependability. When it DOES need service, which is almost never, it is always inexpensive. Lots of pep and power too. My NEXT car will be a Prius!

This is our second Prius and we love the gas mileage we get and its durability. Love the Prius and will buy another soon. Mileage is great, interior space very good, no major problems and great service.

I just leased my 3rd Prius. I previously lease the Prius 5, which was their top of the line. Now the top of the line is the Prius 4 Touring, and the only package available is Premium Convenience Package. Most things are included as standard in this model. The one thing that is not on this car, and cannot even be purchased, is the Heads Up display. This makes no sense that their most expensive car in the category cannot get this simple option.

It's a very good car except for 1 very important thing.The traction control on the 2011 Toyota Prius completely stops the wheels from turning on slightly snow covered hills causing the car to start sliding backwards down the hill. And because the wheels aren't rotating there is a loss of steering. Toyota told me not to drive the car when it was raining or snowing I find their answer absurd. Toyota refuses to address the problem.

I am very angry and disappointed that Toyota did not recall certain models of its Prius due to faulty headlamps. I found out that my 2007 Prius has faulty headlamps driving at night. The problem is on both the right and left side headlamps. The lights have intermittently gone off and on for the past several months while driving at night. I have been lucky to get where I'm going most times by switching the lights off and on (common with other owners). There have been 2 times when both lights have gone completely off at the same time. Toyota should have recalled these models because it's a known safety hazard. There was a lawsuit and if you didn't get in on it, you're left to pay for repairs yourself, which is a shame! I have made attempts to discuss my problem with Toyota customer care and was referred to no one who could help me. Shame of Toyota!

This is my third Prius. Buying this car is the most expensive mistake I have ever made in my life. The improved hybrid system and exterior are great, the inside of the car is absolutely garbage. Not usable. The air vents are directly in your face. I developed a sinus infection in my right sinus only where the vent blows, my left sinuses are fine. I developed this sinus infection within 48 hours and it won't go away. My passengers complain about it also. The internal storage has been reduced by 75% from previous Prius. I am an Uber driver. The reduction in the total internal passenger space has reduced this to a 4 passenger car. This car cannot be used by Uber drivers. Prius was the definitive Uber car up until the 2015 model. Now it can't be used for Uber at all. You can't stay in this model for 12 hours at a time because the air vents will make you sick and there is no storage space to keep your stuff. Plus you can only fit 2 full size people in the back seat.

I have owned 2 Prius. I had a 2012 Toyota Prius C Two and currently drive a 2013 Toyota Prius Four. About the C and why I don't have it anymore...The C is a great car for the price. I averaged 48 mpg over the 35k miles I had the car. I did have one accident where another person rear ended me and it cost about $8k for insurance to fix. My only complaints with the C were cabin noise was pretty terrible, the dash started rattling at about 10k miles, and the rear visibility could be better. I typically drove without the headrests but obviously with passengers this is not an option. I originally bought the C because it was affordable to me at the time I needed a new car and I wanted a Prius.

When I bought this car It had 15k miles, I like the gas mileage, does not require fixing because I do regular maintenance, easy to handle. But the worst part are THE SEATS. I hate the ** SEATS: they are horrible. One they are hard to sit on. If I take over 30 min ride, it's a nightmare. Two, so tight the my hamstrings are always giving me problems and my gluts are always tight which affect my lower back. Three, the way the ** seat and headrest are the worse... The worst. Badly designed that it's causing me neck problem and lower back problems too.

I have a 2014 Toyota Prius C. Having a problem with deep scratches on all four door windows. Toyota won't accept responsibility. Have had multiple window and repair shops agree bad coating process or cheap coating material used. Also been told may not have been hardened right. They blame the two small dogs I have. Always drove Toyota and always had small dogs. Never had scratches on glass. Also have a 2006 Hummer H2. No scratches on it. Never will I ever buy another TOYOTA. Has anyone had this issue. Next step to call Toyota in japan and the newspapers. Did call California headquarters.

I am happy with my purchase. But I have few issue with this 2016 model. First, model TWO doesn't come with a garage door opener, which is a very very basic option and it would not cost more than $5 for the manufacturer, and almost every car has this option as standard. It is very DISAPPOINTING to carry a garage opener for 2 locations in my pocket all day. Second, the sun visor does NOT extend, so if you are taller than 4' and move your seat back the visor will not help. Such a pity that they couldn't have the same type of visor that they have in the Camry, which extends back. Again, another simple, and very cheap improvement which they could have done.

I am looking for feedback on the 2016 PRIUS. My 70-year old parents purchase one about 2 months ago and they have been involved in two very serious situations. One incident occurred on the freeway and one on a large highway. Once my mom was driving and the other time my father was driving. Incidents less than a month apart. THE CAR JUST STOPPED! Decelerated from 60-65 miles per hour to stopped in less than a minute and an alarm came on. After stopping they put the hazards on. Had to hit park and start all over again and it took off. The first incident they thought was a fluke and that they had done something so they did something wrong since car was new. NOW both are afraid to drive it. Has anyone else experienced this type of problem?

Recently after shopping the hybrid battery system check light came on in my 2011 Prius. I immediately took it to the dealer where I purchased it. They found that a bottle of window cleaner had spilled onto the hybrid system and damaged the cooling fan. Fortunately they were able to dry out the battery and I only had to replace the damaged cooling fan. This is concerning because the I always put my shopping into the back of the vehicle and never would have thought that fluid would be able to get to the hybrid system. I am writing a letter to Toyota so that this problem can be addressed and not happen to anyone else.

Let me start by saying I have loved my Prius 2010. I can fit anything in that car... even my kayak! I get great gas mileage and commute 80 miles to work and back. I take it on trips (gas mileage not as good in the mountains). So I do a lot of open miles on my car... as of this writing I have 154,000. It has been unbelievably quiet and a smooth ride. BUT I AM SPENDING A FORTUNE ON BRAKES!

My 2013 Prius wants to go 8 MPH all the time. With the foot off the gas, anytime the car is on, it will start up on its own. If you are decelerating, it will get to 8 MPH and then add engine power to stay at 8. The dealer says this is normal. I think it is dangerous and annoying. If I am at a stoplight, I have to keep jamming on the brake to avoid lurching into the car in front of me. It also seems to waste gas. Because when I apply the brake, to get below 8MPH, the "energy display" shows that engine power is still being applied, meaning that the car is fighting my attempt to stop. I am afraid of inadvertently hitting someone due to this problem, and I think Toyota should be sued because of it.

This was my first Toyota. I always heard of Toyota's going at least 300k miles before any major problems. I wish I saw this website before I bought this used 2007 Prius with 83k miles on it, probably would of gone with a gas powered Honda Civic instead. I am getting about 47.8 mpg average which seems good, but they claim 60 in city and 51 on highway so I would think I would average about 55.5? I have been having the dreaded headlamp problems already. Have been pulled over by the police for headlights and have only had the car about two weeks. I pull over for the police and they inform me about the one headlight out. I get out to check on that and both headlamps are on. Now the one side goes out and you turn them off and they light back up. Some folks are saying the ballast or the bulbs. I never saw a car that was so difficult to put in new bulbs for the headlights and that may not fix the problem.

I totaled it when an suv struck the front left fender. We had no repair issues, but because I drove with the headlights on for safety, had to replace bulb frequently and the manual didn't say how to approach that. My wife who is only 5'2'' loved to drive it (so if she's happy, guess what!) We had almost 215000 miles when I was hit by and SUV in the left front and the insurance company totaled it. We loved every minute of it. Acceleration was good, ride very comfortable, quiet, agile maneuvering and about 44 in summer and 37 mpg in winter. I'm going to buy a 2013 plug-in to replace it!

In 2014 I purchased a new Toyota 4runner 4x4 Limited fully loaded. Myself, friends and family all noticed my 4runner was lisping badly on the passenger side. Long, long story short they kept my car for a month and the service bills came to over 9 thousand dollars in fees. Fortunately I did not have to pay that. Unfortunately they were not able to fix my car and flat out lied to me about fixing it in the future. They will not return my calls and have no interest in fixing my car.

I bought my Prius July 2011 and to date (3/24/16) I have spent $9,184.23 on maintenance. I even had the extended warranty but it only covered the "big" things. I just replaced a defective seat belt at a cost of $898. Ridiculous! I feel soaked every time I take it in. I will probably, no make that NEVER, buy another Toyota product. Oil changes are $70 every 10K miles but the oil change alert comes on every 5K miles. No one bothered to tell me that I was changing the oil twice as often as I needed to until I was at 90K miles. The seat belt issue which should have been covered under a warranty, was the last straw. DO NOT BUY A PRIUS. WHAT YOU SAVE ON GAS YOU WILL SPEND ON MAINTENANCE! !

I wish to respond directly to: Jabir of Ogdensburg, NJ on Sept. 9, 2015 who wrote this: "My hybrid battery stays low and engine keeps revving as if I'm accelerating all the time, even on deceleration. Anyone else has that problem?" Here is my response to that:

Bought a 2014 Prius for my daughter so that she can commute to college and back. What a junk! Barely 2 years old and making all kinds of noises. Going over a pothole feels like the car will break apart. Gas mileage ain't that great either. Has been in the shop multiple times over the past year and half with different issues. Overall maintenance cost has been higher than my BMW M6. Garbage car. Garbage company. Would never buy Toyota. Disgusting.

2012 Prius 4 & 2010 Prius 3 & 2007 Prius 2 were ALL electrically inept where we'd been exposed to life threatening defects. 1st car was eventually bought back so it looked like a fluke until discovering other people died from these defects! That car appeared 'possessed' & dismantling, it was the only remedy that Toyota really had! We bought another Prius that seemed to be a solution, White one on a commercial but that one started failing when the entire computer system required replacement. It got worse when seats turned mushy from seat heater module defect & interior's fabric was falling apart.

My new Prius has nearly 15K miles and overall I like it so far. It has decent power and handling, good gas mileage, no major maintenance issues, has been very reliable transportation and deserves five stars. The low use engine and transmission design, infrequent friction braking, keyless entry and ignition, all make me expect (hope) that significant maintenance will be infrequent. I particularly like being able to start the car on electric power without spending a few minutes warming up a cold engine. And the idea of the keyless entry is great, saving me time when my hands are full of kids or groceries, but I am concerned about security issues described below. And I like the way the floor mats lock down.

I purchased my 2013 Prius C because it was a four door, four passenger sedan. Unfortunately, the rearward visibility is SO bad with the rear seats up, and especially with rear passengers, that it is unsafe IMHO to drive in reverse. I backed into a low fence post that I couldn't even see. Thankfully, it wasn't a child, but it could have been. To further complicate matters there is NOTHING behind the rear bumper cover near the ends/corners. Nothing. It's soft and if you do back into something it completely destroys the bumper cover. Mine is torn beyond repair. And how did Toyota respond to my complaint? They said their engineers could back up using the rear view mirrors. DUH. So can I... but I can't see what's behind!

October, 14, 2015, I was traveling on route 66 to Manassas at 4.15pm. in my Toyota Prius. (I love Toyota Prius ). We were crawling and stopping intermittently. In one of those conditions a Jeep in front of me stopped again and I stopped also. After few minutes, there was a Big Bang at my rear. A vehicle crashed my car. My car skidded and crashed into the Jeep ahead and the Jeep crashed into another car. My car was totaled. The airbags did not deploy. Why?

I have read so many horror stories on here. We had our 2004 Prius since 63,000 miles. When my husband totaled it, it had 235,000. Great car. Sad to see her go.

August 31, 2015 I was starting to program the GPS in my 2013 Toyota Prius-v. When I touched the screen on the GPS the glass simply cracked. Toyota's service managers are saying it was caused by an outside entity. Who or what is the outside entity? There is only 9,000 miles on the car. The only drivers other than myself and wife were Toyota's service technicians.

Bought this car new and had a problem of vibration when going over 67 MPH. The dealer could not figure out the problem and had Toyota involved. Never did anything and all this time I was told that it was out of characteristic and was told that Toyota inspector will come and inspect the car, but he never did. At the same time front passenger seat would rattle at certain position and have MPG issues in the CITY ONLY which I get 23 mpg. The dealer tested the car on the highway and said, "Nothing is wrong," and my complaint was in the city driving.

Toyota 2014 Prius V hybrid - On August 15, 2015 I was driving the above car to go to my friend's house around 2:15 AM. They have a gate in front of his house. I did stop the car, lowered the window and pushed the button to inform them and then they can open the gate. Suddenly car started moving forward and accelerated. It hit the gate hard and opened the gate. There was a Mercedes parked in front of the house, it hit hard the Mercedes, reversed itself and started going in different directions. It hit few objects in front of the house, reversed itself and got stuck in a water fountain. I thought that I will be gone forever. Luckily I got saved.

I have bought a Toyota Prius 2010, it was 47000 mileage. It has problems with noise, it makes so much noise. I took it to the service, they said it's all been done but it was not done. They always say it's been done, now I have to go there again. It was my biggest mistake to buy Toyota Prius. Problems with Toyota Prius - engine noise, steering wheel, barrel noise. And if you don't have a warranty it would cost you so much. Even though if you have a warranty they will not fix it. They will fix it for temporarily. After all it is a good car for me. It's all about the noise, I can't stand the noise. If it's a normal car it would make noise, I don't know more petrol or diesel car but not like this.

Let me begin by saying that no car is perfect, so in spite of the benefits, this car does have its rotten eggs in the basket too. Now, I have owned a 2013 Prius brand new for a few years, and I would highly recommend this car for occasional leisurely driving. But if you are a kind of person who likes to take long trips, this car is not the holiday car as the Toyota manufacturers have erred in the ergonomics of the driver side. That being said, this car drives beautifully, gives excellent gas mileage and comes with a range of features equipped to quench your thirst for technology.

I have the latest generation 3 Prius, now driving for 4 years. Unfortunately, the battery failed, but the warranty expired at 100,000 and we drive kids to school and sports and put on 30,000 per year. Dealer wanted $6000 to replace it! Car is worthless to trade in until battery fixed. A local hybrid shop replaced the bad cell (# 4, 5, 9 slightly low, but #8 very low) for $675. This solved the problem and module 8 still good, but now #4, 5, 9 gradually becoming weaker requiring hybrid resets. Toyota doesn't care. Ridiculous to have a worthless car after only 4 years. Will never buy from Toyota again. We have frequent 90 degree days here in summer, and that is apparently the reason. Don't buy unless you live in Canada or the border states because everywhere else in the US it is too hot. The Prius hybrid is a joke, and Toyota just tells me "tough luck".

Bought a 2005 Prius new. In the first 3 months it broke down, had it towed to the dealership. It took them 6 weeks to figure out that the brain was no good, a year later the inverter went out again. Took the dealer 10 days to fix. 6 months later the inverter cooling pump went out while out of town, spent the night before it was ready. 2 years went by with some minor issues then the inverter pump quit working again. Now not in warranty, $975 out of pocket plus tow charges. 7 months later the inverter once again went out. This piece of crap gets good gas mileage but the tow truck it sets on does not. I will never buy another Toyota product again. I will stick to Ford's, never a problem with them, at least none I could not fix myself. I think Japan is getting even for losing the war!!!

I change oil on my 2009 Toyota Prius. After 3 weeks the oil light came on saying oil is low. I took it back to Sears where I changed the oil thinking maybe they did not add enough oil. So they add oil and checked if there is any oil leak. There was no oil leak. Again now 3 weeks later I checked the oil. It's almost no oil in the engine. What I should do? Can someone give me some advice?

My car is working great! If I bought another hybrid, I'd probably go for the extended warranty.

Prius 2012 - The navigation screen shattered using a finger to move the clumsy map program around. The cost to replace the whole unit is $9,558 at the dealer. Adding sale tax the total cost is $10,155.37. It is one third the cost of the whole car! The navigation system is a clumsy and more or less useless system, it was not something we ordered special and we were not impressed with it from the start. Now we are really unimpressed with the whole vehicle. I can buy at least 15 iphone 6's with that money...what is Toyota thinking. I will never buy a Toyota again.

I bought my 2012 Toyota Prius new at the dealer. After 38,000 miles my dealer tells me that I need new tires. It apparently is a concern of the Yokomoto tires. My dealer agrees tires should last longer than 38,000 miles. The dealer tells me I have no warranty! I have to buy new tires. A new car with tires should last more than 40,000 miles. It's a great car with rotten tires! I have spoken with other Prius owners with similar stories. My dealer will help with new tires, not yo too tires!

Initial problem on 2007 Prius was that first one, then both headlights blinked off while I was driving. They would go back on if I switched them off and back on, but the first time it happened on the freeway at night, it was frightening. The dealer replaced them with what I hoped was an improved lamp but the same thing happened a few years later, post-warranty, and I paid about $500 to have it fixed. Today (May 31, 2015), while driving on a curved 35mph road, the car spontaneously shifted out of gear into neutral, rolled to a stop on an uphill stretch, and would not shift out of neutral. This was a spot with no shoulder; luckily, I was able to roll back to a wider spot for safety (?!).

We bought our Prius from my wife's sister. It had less than 30,000 miles on it. We now have around 90,000 on it. It gets 45 mpg in the winter and 52 mpg in better weather. We started having the brake problem we have been reading about around six months ago. The brakes would stop working normally and we have nearly had accidents while getting to a repair shop. After several resets to the system and it failing again and again we decided we had to have it repaired if we wanted to keep it. We decided to use a repair shop that only works on Toyotas because of the ridiculously high price Toyota charges for repairs. The technicians at the shop we chose receive the same technical information daily that the Toyota places do. They ran the diagnostics and decided to replace the ECM to the tune of 1800 dollars! Toyota wanted 2400 dollars!

I bought my 2008 Toyota Prius brand new and have taken care of it all along. At the 115,000 oil change I was told there was 1/2 a quart of oil in the engine and it needs the rings replaced for $2,600. I bought the 100,000 mile extended warranty and up until the 115,000 oil change my oil level was just fine. In doing a little internet digging I found a lot of Prius owners complaining about oil usage problems. The dealer even said there is a ring problem for some engines made between 2007-2011. I even found a Class Action suit under way for some models but not the engine itself. I plan to make as much noise as I can until Toyota recalls these crappy engines!

I bought a 2010 Prius V for my daughter. She moved to NY within a few months, and left the car with me. In other words, it was rarely driven the first two years. During the 3rd year, the driver seat torn on the side and warranty refused to fix it. We started to hear rattles and noises inside the car while driving. The rear door will not open from the inside, and the tire pressure warning light continually turns on and off. Dealer won't fix it.

After religiously maintaining the car after 100K miles the car alarms start to light up erratically so I brought it in for a check. They said it's a battery issue which I replaced but at the same time there was a recall for the electric motor cooling system which they fixed. After it was repaired I noticed that the car had no power or hard to accelerate above 70-80 mph. The car would rev higher than normal.

Owned the 2011 Prius new. At 60K when we hit a small bump in the road, vehicle begins to made irritating chirp noises from under the dashboard in multiple locations. Very irritating. Would not buy this car again.

I own a 2010 Prius and like many others, I've now replaced my headlamps 4 times! Who designs a car that requires major deconstruction (removal of the entire front end and bumper) to access a known regular maintenance issue like changing a headlamp? And why does the end user bare the cost of a clear design flaw? Replacing a headlamp should NOT cost $400! I have had to replace my headlamps every 24 to 32 thousand miles! Unbelievable! When I get upset at the dealer where I bought my car and have it serviced, they say "it's not us, it's Toyota Corp!" This is not a new issue, and there have been class action suits that Toyota settled, yet they fail to address the basic problem they DESIGNED into the car. Although I have owned many Toyotas, this experience has made me want to swear off the brand forever.

We have a cracked tail light on our Prius C. The customer service was of no help. We paid extra money for a warranty which was of no use. I don't understand what is the point of paying for a warranty when the company tells you no, nothing can be done.

After extensive research we found out that the issues I've been having with my car were under an extended warranty that Toyota did not repair when the car was under warranty. It's a manufacturing defect and a safety issue. It's unfortunate that such a large corporation is willing to risk this and their liability. It's undeniable that the main advantage of owning a Prius is for the fuel efficiency, but I'm beginning to see there are more disadvantages to owning a hybrid vehicle. Many of us know the controversy of the Prius being an environmentally friendly vehicle. Prior to buying my second generation Prius, I did my research and know that the vehicle production is more energy-intensive and results in higher production emissions than conventional vehicles, but this is offset by the Prius's lifetime carbon emissions. However, I did not anticipate the amount of repairs and the frequency of them.

I am happy with the way our Prius has performed but very unhappy with the body. The body started rusting badly after 5 years (before then I could address it with some touch up paint). The back lift gate mechanism melted (the rubber part); it was a costly repair. After I had it repaired, the entire panel fell off. I have it duct taped on because I don't want to spend another $450 to replace it. The horn squeaks when I press on the brake often. The dealer says he's never heard of it and hasn't a clue. The dealers should take responsibility for these problems, even if the car is past warranty. They are clearly manufacturer errors. I'm very very disappointed and won't buy another Prius. Wish they had put the same energy into the body that they put into the engine.

I have had my Prius since 2009 (and we are a Toyota family with two 2009 Priuses and a Highlander), but this is the first year I've lived where there's snow. We put Blizzak snow tires on the car which definitely helped, but we've been having major issues with the traction control. On my way to work, the traction control initiated over 5 times, and one of them was on a slight incline and the car literally stalled in traffic because when it initiates it cuts power to the gas and the wheels and there's nothing you can do but wait until the car decides it's over. My husband then took it to work, and had a worse time with it (his drive is only 6 miles from home to his office and completely flat). He experienced it 6+ times on that short drive (!!) and one of them almost caused an accident when it cut power at a traffic light mid intersection and the cars behind him almost rear ended him. It's completely unsafe how over reactive the traction control is.

After reading many of the reviews on this site, I finally finished laughing at almost all of them and decided to give my own review. From what I can see, most of the people who leave the reviews on here, haven't got a clue about cars. Most even seem to complain about dealerships, not the actual cars. Anyways, I have had my 06 Prius since 08. The car has 300,000 kms on it and not a single issue. It has been bullet proof. Averages 52 mpg constantly. No issues with brakes, car taking off on its own, car starting itself etc. It's my first Toyota, and if it ever dies, it will be replaced with another Toyota.

It sounds loud, vibrates real bad, terrible noise, car just shakes real bad. Until about 5 miles...that was at 9 degrees. It was in the shop in Greenbay, Wi Toyota dealer...last winter...Same problems not taken care of. I do have receipts for car and work done on it...2010 for the year.

On October 1, 2014, my wife pulled into a parking space, touched the accelerator to move ahead 8 feet, and the accelerator floored, jumped a curb structure and ended on a hillside pile of rocks before stopping. The Toyota response was filled with cover-up language. One 20+ year Toyota man claimed never to have heard of this problem and 2013 lawsuit settlement because he "did not read newspapers". No one would visit the accident site which would prove only faulty acceleration could have caused this accident. I hope there is another lawsuit in the future before people are killed. If our problem had occurred at a different venue, people could have been.

We have a 2013 Prius. We've put 24k miles on it. It suddenly went out of alignment for no reason. Pulls hard right on the freeway. Tires are not wearing unevenly but man are they wearing fast. Service advisor guy told me Toyota puts "cheap throwaways" on new cars.

I have a Prius that won't get into gear. I know how to start the car but it will only go from P to N and not anything else. I have tried everything I can think of and the All Star Hybrids have been working on my car for months trying to figure out what is wrong with it. It can happen suddenly while driving; the dashboard lights up like Christmas tree and then when you stop and park, it won't get into gear. It will however start and will light up. Thank you. Can you let me know if the car can be recalled? The car has over 200 k miles on it.

I am an experienced driver who has driven all types of vehicles (from buses to bikes) in different countries for more than 25 years. I was a big fan of Toyota because of their reliability, safety, and comfort all this time. I have owned Corolla and Camry and now Sienna and Prius, very proudly. I have never got into an accident where I have been at fault, until the Prius brakes just froze on me yesterday. There were no mitigating circumstances, the weather was fine, there was no rain, I was 15 miles from home and had driven the Prius for more than 15 miles at that point and braked several times and the car was warm.

Trouble starting the car. Depress the start button; all lights turn on, but will not go into gear. This happens on and off and takes several times to get it to fully start. Other owners are having similar problems. Otherwise, the car has been great. Toyota needs to help fix the problem.

I have a 2008 Toyota Prius. I have the same problem that I read about on a lot of the other previous owner's comments. My headlights will go off for no reason. I have pulled over been pulled over several times and thankfully issued warnings however instead of going to the prettiest dealership to change my headlight my husband YouTube it and found that we could buy it at AutoZone and do it ourselves and it's really not that hard. Now I am having a new problem my maintenance light is on again and this time every time I step on the gas I hear a squeak. I still have not quite figured out what it is and I don't want to pay a lot of money to have it checked out!

I have been having trouble starting my Prius 2012 for the past 6 months. With brake depressed and Start Button briefly pushed, all the check engine light came on but the ready light did not. When this first happened, I called Toyota Care but while waiting for them to arrive, I tried to start the car again after about 15 minutes and it started. After this incident, I continue to have trouble starting the car, usually having to wait several minutes or attempting to start the car several times. I have brought this into my dealership at Toyota North in Chicago 3 times now and each time they said they can't replicate the problem so can't fix it since there are no diagnostic codes. Has anyone has any success with getting this resolved from your Dealership? This is unacceptable as I bought the car new and it's barely 2 years old since I bought. At this point, my opinion of Toyota is that they do not make reliable car as advertised. I can't rely on my Prius to start when it should and Toyota guys can't get to the problem to fix it. Who do I have to talk to to get this rectified?

With the cost of gas, I had traded in my Infinity G37x for a Prius expecting to save money on my gas. Since then, I had to change the bulb 3X's within a span of 6 months. Now I had just had my oil changed and front tires changed and ready for the winter when Lo and Behold all my warning lights are on, you name it, it's either in red or in yellow and one green. This Prius is costing more money than my G37x would have and it doesn't even come close to compare inside and out. This car cheaply made inside. I WOULD NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA EVER and WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND ONE EITHER.

Went out to start car and it won't start and no ready light. Dash message is depress brake while pressing start button (paraphrased). No brake lights. Tried over the course of several hours with no luck. Troubleshooting over phone with service and they said it needed to be towed. Tow truck driver got it to start but it would not go into gear and I am not sure how he did it. Toyota service says there is no computer trouble code and it now starts. It does not seem to be a battery issue as all the lights are strong except non-existent brake lights. Has anyone ever seen this before? I am nervous about taking the car back and getting stuck possibly in bad weather.

I was sitting in the driver's seat when I realized there was item in the back seat that I needed. I opened door and had my feet on the ground when the powerful high speed lunge happened. There is a retaining block of concrete in front of my car to prevent the car from hitting the concrete blocked 6 ft. wall. My car lunged over the retaining concrete and into the wall at a high rate of speed. I was parked at a bit of an angle so the left front was damaged the most. I can send pics in mail as well as paperwork involved when they tested my car and said that there was no known cause for this to happen. In other words I wasn't telling the truth.

Purchased brand new. It's a rattletrap. All parts appear to be plastic. Leather seats have discolored. Was in an accident and took $6,000 to repair. A month later the compressor died and thank goodness I had extended warranty. Gas mileage is good but I will never purchase another Toyota product. Expensive car and very cheaply made. DO NOT recommend.

I have had issues since day 4. I did purchase used almost two years ago this Dec 2014. The first issue was when my battery kept dying out. And I love when you are on the phone with Toyota repair for thirty minutes and they haven't a clue, get told "well we can tow it, you will pay" and we will see... I was almost out of my warranty at that point... Then I find out through AAA it was a battery dead. I even asked, was told oh well, no clue. Then a week of fighting with them about that. It wouldn't hold a jump even after it was taken back to Toyota..

The liftgate handle on our 2008 Toyota Prius began to melt this year. When taken to the dealer, I was told that the entire liftgate assembly would need to be replaced at my expense, even though I purchased the Platinum extended warranty from Toyota. I decided to put off spending the $422 to repair the assembly. Two months later the entire trim piece that is connected to the liftgate handle came loose and made it impossible to open or close my liftgate. I returned to the dealer and opted to spend the $422. After checking Prius forums online, I find that this is a common problem with the 2nd generation Prius.

I own a 2008 Prius and recently needed to have both headlights replaced. I thought it was some kind of joke when I was told it would cost $300 to buy the two new lamps and $180 to install them because the entire bumper had to be removed to do so -- but it was no joke. I also could not believe it when I was told the new $300 bulbs were under warranty for only ONE year. Buyers beware!!!!

I have a 2013 Prius C. My light is cracked and I was not in an accident, so I called Toyota Care and was told to go to a service center to have it inspected and have the issue put on file. The car was taken to the dealer the week before and they were told about the cracked tail light and the issue was ignored, they did not put the issue on file. I took the car again and was told to bring the car on a later day because the manager was not in. Toyota Care and the service center have not been helpful. I have a warranty and so far nothing. I have read on online forums about people who have had similar cracked light issues and their issues have been resolved.

I have a 2007 Prius with 116,000 K on the clock. I have had 7 years of trouble-free motoring. Until it developed a flushing noise after breaking. My garage tells me that it is the brake actuator which is ready to fail. The cost to repair this is a staggering 4,100! It appears that the cost of the part is 3,500. From reading other reports it would seem to me that Toyota Prius parts are overpriced. The only explanation is that this is a deliberate scam on the part of Toyota. I will never buy Toyota Prius again.

I bought this car used after it was totaled by the insurance company because the left side body panels had all been damaged from sliding into a guard rail after an ice storm. It had 18K on it when I bought it in the spring of 2011 and I have proceeded to drive it 182,000 miles so far with no issues. I don't know why everyone isn't driving a hybrid with the price of gas these days.

Our 2004 Prius suddenly, after sitting for some 3 months unused, ran rough and would not make it out of our driveway. Dash lights flickered and flashed all sorts of warning lights. Called tow truck and had towed to nearest dealer some 80 miles away. They contacted me several days later saying the computer next to main battery pack was bad and heavy corrosion was found around buss works terminating on batteries. They also found a rodent nest at site but also listed that corrosion was due to salt air and water infiltration? My insurance carrier refused to cover it under my comprehensive coverage since the damage was determined to be from salt water intrusion?? Some $1800 later I got the car back. Forget Comprehensive insurance, a joke. You pay dearly for the coverage yet between the adjuster and the dealer the rodent urine wasn't the cause??? Just how does the salt water cause this problem and the mice urine didn't have any effects??

Both front wheel bearings failed and both rear coil springs fractured over a period of about 40K miles.

4 recalls, not one official notification from Toyota. Took pressure for Toyota to handle. Now, the AC evaporator doesn't work--$3000 estimate to repair. I am hoping that Toyota will respond.

I bought my 2012 Toyota Prius C2 brand new. I have been very happy - has 35k miles on it. Only problem I have had was just this week - all my brake lights came on, my doors would not lock (with the lock on the door or with the key fob), and the display system would show the doors were open when they were not. The dealership I purchased the car from has been wonderful - took it in the next morning, they figured out the computer system went back, and a new computer system was replaced the next day (all under warranty...thankfully I purchased the extended warranty). I do not believe that a 2 y.o. car should of had a computer system gone bad so quickly, but overall I am very happy with my car. I do not get the 53MPG that was on the sticker in the winter, but I am told that it's because of the winter blend gas that is given to us on the east coast.

Nail magnets! My tires at 34 thousand ran out, had to have two replaced prior. I can't understand Toyota require "W" tires on a Prius V wagon? They are high performance and cost more with less mileage and you generally will not get the full mileage.

Something similar happened to me. I was exiting off hwy and went over the line on left side (yes, this was bad driving I am fully aware) and went over the "slow down" bumps/grooves. I braked and nothing happened. Bumped all the way off road (honestly, I am not sure when the brakes did not respond but, at some point they did not) and then had to make a sharp right swerve to miss cars stopping in front of me. Crossed all lines on right side and ran almost head on into the barrier. Had my 2 kids in car. Car was totaled. Air bags deployed. We were stranded facing wrong way at night around a blind curve on the ramp.

Navigation system directs me home on a road which was closed in 1947. Entune requires my phone to be tethered because it is an iphone. Nobody but nobody seems to know or care why I get directions home on a closed road. I have owned this Prius for one week. Wrote Toyota re same, no response.

5 different times, I have returned to my Prius and the car was running and doors were locked. 4 of them times the 5th unlocked and running for around 4 hours cause I was at work. Took it to dealership and got what I expected. There is nothing wrong... The list goes on and on. I drive at my new job and told dealership 2 times I can walk over highway 17 faster. I have other Priuses flying by like I guess I should get out and walk - it will be faster. Had to replace all head lights. When stepping on brake, it makes an awful clanking sound Toyota say is normal. I've had the car 6 months and in the shop 4 times, 3 within 1 and a half months of buying it.

After I made the deal on the 2011 Prius l! I was told there was only one key. I subsequently learned a key (electronic) would cost me $431. I was also provided an owner’s manual for a 2010 model. The car did not contain the Tow hooks for the front required to be installed in the event of towing. I can buy a new laptop computer with 4meg of ram, a 500gig hard drive and a DVD player for $338. The key price is my biggest miff because the dealer did not provide it or disclose it before I made the deal (I checked the key price with another Toyota dealer). I'm sorry I bought a Toyota and picked this dealer. I have owned a new Camry and a used Highlander in the past.

At less than 25,000 miles we had to replace all four tires on our new Prius, it is not yet even a year old. I have owned a few new vehicles and have never had this happen before. Toyota will not recognize the problem. I will most likely not buy again.

I brought my 2010 Prius into the Toyota Marin (California) dealer in January 2014 in response to the recall related to problems with stepping on the brake and having the Prius accelerate rather than stop. The corrective software was presumably installed. Fast forward to Father's Day, 2014. I am parking my Prius for a Father's Day brunch. I'm going about two miles per hour into a parking space. I put my foot on the brake. The car accelerates. I mentally double check that I have my foot on the brake. I do. Out of control, the car jumps the curb and smashes right into a tree. I feel traumatized and then I feel even more traumatized at the possibility of having tried to stop at a cross walk and killing a family on the way to their Father's day brunch.

I purchased my 2012 Toyota Prius on 8/25/2012, it had 30 miles on odometer when I took possession of car. 2012 Prius is a cheaply made car with extreme noise in cabin area like windows are open and no floor board on car, rattling/vibrating dash, glove box/center console rattling which required that I place home foam insulation around all door opens in cabin to diminish the rattling. I have to wear earplugs to ride in car, which is dangerous.

It is true about the headlight problem. I have seen this on multiple Priuses within my family and with friends. This is a systemic problem with Priuses and Toyota should be made to fix the problem. Otherwise it's a pretty good car. They also should improve the structural integrity of the driver's side armrest on the door, as it cracks pretty easily after you drive a while and you use it. After 130k I now have a warning light red car and "!". I am wondering if my car can be saved and if so, how much will it cost.

I have had this car into two different Toyota dealers not fixed yet. It is a safety issue plus it cost $3000 and doesn't work. Toyota knows there is a problem but has given a speech to its dealers to give to customers. DO NOT BUY THEIR NAVIGATION SYSTEM.

At 34K miles, the driver side headlight on my 2008 Prius failed. Research uncovered that this is a widespread defect with the 2006-2009 Prius. Being just a few months past Toyota's warranty on those parts, the same dealership where I bought my car just 10 months prior charged me $739.19 to replace a single bulb and its attendant modulator. This is a safety issue that should have been a RECALL. As a result, I have no intention of ever buying another Toyota.

Just bought Toyota hybrid when moving hazard light turns on automatically. If I go faster it blinks faster. When I stop the car it stops automatically. Anybody know how to fix it please email me on **. Much appreciated.

I've just learned that my two front marker lights are out on my 2011 Prius and it will cost well over $100 to replace the bulbs because the entire front bumper must be removed to get at them. Likewise, it will cost about $50 in labor simply to replace the license plate bulb. I consider this a ridiculous design element, the labor costs of which, frankly, should be covered by the dealership. (By the way, this is my only complaint with an otherwise superb vehicle after more than 80,000 miles!)

I have a 2004 Prius with 113000 miles. I have loved this car. It has been great. I have over the years had a recurring problem with the brakes. I was told it was the sensor for the brakes. They reset it. The first time this lasted a couple of years. The second time, they said the main computer was probably the culprit and it would be $1900 for the part, $2500 when all was done. I thought that was expensive but I love the car and it was still a good car otherwise. So I decided to do it until they told me, they wouldn't guarantee that this would fix the problem. I went to two different dealerships and they both said the same thing. I was shocked that they would expect me to pay that amount and not guarantee it to be fix. Now I don't know what to do.

Headlights would go out for no reason at all and would not come back on. The dealer said that the problem was relays and they replaced them but the problem came back about a month or so later. Tried to have this resolved but could not. This was a 2008 Prius 2. I got so frustrated with the car we finally just traded it for a Subaru Impreza (2013) which got me 36-37 mpg in my daily driving plus all-wheel drive. No comparison between those cars, the Subaru is a much better car.

My 2013 Prius Navigation System freezes up sporadically. The entire system will reboot itself while I'm driving. Took it in and tech could not duplicate issue. The last time it froze up, I drove it to Toyota in the frozen state. They saw the problem and said the unit needs to be replaced. Toyota does not want to replace the unit and the dealership says Toyota kicked the request to replace the unit back to try tweaks they have tried in the past. $35k for this!

I bought my 2010 Prius II brand new for about 24k. My profession required a lot of driving, so I thought the 40mpg would be perfect (which, btw, it really only got about 30). I test drove 3 before I bought one, but honestly, how much can you realize about a car just going around the block (or, well, 3 blocks) once. To be safe, I even purchased the complete care package, theft proof windows etc., etc. which racked up a hefty monthly payment, but I thought better safe than sorry.

My 2008 Toyota Prius headlights quit for no reason. Sometimes one goes out, occasionally both go out, sometimes the taillights also go out (they may go out regularly, but those aren't as obvious as when the headlights go). The quick and simple fix is to turn the lights off and back on again and then they work fine. Toyota says the headlight is going out and needs to be replaced. Okay, I did that and I still have the same issue. I've gotten pulled over twice and given a warning by police about the lights.

*** Toyota (2010-2014) Prius navigation saftey recall needed *** - While using Navigation with traffic, your screen will freeze and render it useless. This is a safety issue and should be addressed ASAP. I've contacted Toyota about it and they just dismissed it. I find that insulting... If you are in unfamiliar area (such as traveling) and you want to stay clear of accidents and/or traffic you may get into an accident because the navigation stops working and will not work until you turn off the car and then restart it. I have videos and pictures if needed. I posted two pictures here.. .This can be reproduced over and over. It's a huge bug between Entune traffic and Navigation. I bought this product and it should work as advertised!! I would love for a lawyer to contact me ASAP and get this class action law suit going...

I purchased a 2013 Prius Persona in May 2013. Soon after purchase I had problems with the anti skid light coming on and the car not able to move until light went out. Then started having problems with the reverse camera coming on when I was driving (just randomly), the whole dash system failed and went completely dark when I was driving at night, the display goes black and displays an error. I've taken my car in many times and since the dealer cannot get these random issues to repeat they do not know how to fix them. In an effort to help they checked all wire connections but issues are still randomly happening.

I bought a used Prius, around 60000 miles. A few months later headlight was flickering and I had to pay for it to be replaced at Metro Toyota, which I felt was unfair, but feeling it would be great on gas at the time, I took it in stride. Last year, I picked up a friend to take her to the airport, I left the car in park position, as I opened the trunk, the car started moving, slow enough so that I could run, open the door, jump in and hit the brake. Thank God, I was in an open space because it may have done some damage to other cars. Has anyone else had this experience? Will I buy another Toyota? No, I find extremely high cost of repairs, bearings, headlights, extra key, etc... do not offset the value I get from extra miles per gallon.

The center display stops being responsive and says Audio Off when the Audio is on. Also says "Check air conditioning". Some of the items can be controlled from the steering wheel buttons - but not always and with less accuracy. Prius 2004

When pressing acceleration pedal, there is a momentary hesitation, like count one two. This is a 2113 model 2 with 625 miles. Dealer did an ECM recall but did not resolve problem.

I am so glad I read these reviews! I was completely set to buy a Prius, and I changed my mind, thanks to these reviews. I thank everyone so much for their honesty, and I am so sorry that y'all have been treated like this. Thank you so much for the warning!

My headlights have both been replaced under a recall & still have issues with flickering or just not working. Every tail light, running light, and fog lights have been replaced. I have had friends tell me they don't work so they periodically go on and off. The aux plug kept blowing fuses and after I bought a handful of them the Toyota mechanic replaced it with a 20 amp vs the 15 which is what it should be. I purchased 4 new phone chargers because they kept telling me it was my charger! I had a water pump go out and I paid for it to be replaced, then there was a recall and I did get a refund after having to prove that a Toyota dealer had done the work!

2013 Toyota Prius purchased with 2 miles on it was back at the dealership within 2 weeks. The navigation system and blue tooth constantly powers itself off while driving and reboots up to 10 times in one half hour drive home. On a trip, mom moved put info in GPS. She was to have surgery at 5am next day. We were to be there at 5 pm. Brother flew in and we were to go out to eat as a family. That stupid car took me 5HOURS out of the way, 2.5 lost and another 2.5 back to where we should have been. They supposedly replaced it. Sure is funny all my preset channels and the locations were still preset?? 7 times same crap, so over it!!! Last day of my vacation, 8 hours personal time and days off at dealership!!! So over it. I asked about a used car and trading my Broken (5 month old) car in. They offered me $11K. I paid $29K for the Prius on May 15, 2013. Enough, I give up!

My headlights turn on and then while I am driving flicker and turn off, or just turn off. Sometimes they both work, and sometimes neither work. I know they are not burnt out. It has been happening for months. I don't know what to do. Toyota service told me they need to be replaced. Why would they need to be replaced when they work, they just don't stay on.

Like many other Prius owners, I have had trouble with burned out headlights. My 2008 Prius has had both headlights go out and it has cost around $350 to have each one replaced. I replaced one 4 months ago and it now has gone out again. This time the dealer told me the problem was not with the bulb but with the Electrical Control Unit (ECU) and it would cost $460 to repair. This is ridiculous! In all my years I have never paid more than about $10 to replace a burnt-out headlight. Toyota must have a design flaw in their headlights. I've been so upset with this exorbitant expense that I will never buy another Toyota or recommend one to my friends.

I recently purchased my first hybrid, the Prius C! Was so excited driving off the lot in my tiny little gas saving car. I am saving a ton on gas compared the SUV I traded in. I've had it for about 5 weeks and have had several instances that made me go huh? Scared me one day, parked the car and still had my foot on the brake and it kept moving forward, has also done that in reverse. I actually got into a fender bender the other day and totaled my new car.

My Prius is 6 months old & I've taken it in for repairs 6 times now. They are all electrical issues - car won't start (doesn't recognize key fob is in the car), doors won't lock (doesn't recognize key fob even right next to car door), dashboard flashes really bright (like a camera flash) & then gets very dim (almost invisible) over & over, the in car Bluetooth system frequently says no phone connected or voice recognition unavailable but if I grab my phone to make the call, it suddenly starts working; the gas gauge keeps indicating I'm low or almost out of gas but when I fill it only a few gallons will go in the car. And then there's no way at all that I'm getting even 40 mpg. At best, I'm getting 32!!!! I'm currently using my state's lemon law to return the vehicle. I'm done!!!!!!!!

I have a 2011 Prius and am having an issue with the door sensors and the brakes. The door sensor symbol comes on and the alarm for a door which is ajar comes on when the car is running and all the doors are securely shut. Sometimes, this happens when the car is first started; other times, it happens after you have driven it for 20 minutes or so. When you put your foot on the brake and depress the pedal, the door sensor light and alarm stops. When you release the brake pedal, the door alarm light and alarm resumes. Sometimes, when you have your foot on the brake pedal, the orange triangular warning light comes on with a message in the box saying "key detected in vehicle". In addition to the orange warning light coming on, sometimes the traction control warning light comes on. The brake pedal is also depressing more than it normally should.

Water pump failed on 2010 Prius, which wrecked the inverter. $4,200 repair. I was 1,500 miles over warranty. Toyota will not pay anything. Now I found out that Toyota has had recalls up to 2009 on water pumps but say they are fixed for 2010 forward. They are lying. Do not buy a Prius.
