Best. Car. Ever. We bought our first 2004 model in October 2003 (yes, probably the first people in Idaho to buy a Prius). We still have it (252K)--its been amazing (including in gnarly winter conditions as we ski a lot in Idaho and Utah). Never a problem, plus low-cost to drive. In 2009, we bought a second 04 used. It was great too. Someone t-boned us, and totaled it, so we bought a 2006. Weve driven that several times across the country twice in really bad winter weather conditions and drove by all the SUVs and semis that had been blown off the road . 2004 and 2006 Prius have been amazing cars for us.Jun 03, 2023

I owned this car for 13 years. Best car I ever had. Cheap to run, fun to drive, super crazy reliable, practical, and great space inside for stuff. I should not have sold it. Jul 08, 2021

I liked everything about this car from the cost to maintain it to the ease of getting my two children in and out of the car without hitting their heads on the too low roof, problem we have with my husbands car. We took it on several longer trips to see family and it was comfortable the whole way, even 7months pregnant. With the back seats able to fold down we've impressed quite a few people with just how much we can haul in our trunk. I wish they had a van like this but haven't found anything similar and with a growing family it's time to move on to something bigger.May 23, 2012

Test drive one and you'll know! But I speak from experience, mine has
117,000 miles on it and I've NEVER had to put in in the shop and I can't
say the same thing about ANY other car I've ever owned! Jul 11, 2011

This is a decent car and a great commuter
car. If gas mileage is what you are
looking for this is the place to be, I get
about 50 MPG on average. Performance wise
this car leaves something to be desired and
appearance wise it is not a very attractive
car but that being said it is very reliable
and a great gas saverOct 20, 2010

Gets 40-50 mpg, plenty of space in back for storage. Took quite awhile to break in totally to get closer to 50mpg. GPS is a bit quirky, 2004 model didn't have MP3 player as part of CD.Apr 27, 2008

This is an amazing car. It is surprisingly comfortable to ride in, almost like a luxury car. The boot holds more than you think. The car never needs repairs and runs like a clock. Feb 23, 2008

While there are flaws on this car such as seat comfort, lack of standard Ipod hook up and a few other minor nit-picks that arise from time to time, overall this is a fantastic car. My lifetime mpg is 53.7 over 57,500 miles and it drives like a charm, never a serious problem.Apr 19, 2007
