Pros

• Fuel Economy

  Love 56+ mpg!

• Cost to Maintain

  I expect it will be pretty low maintenance

• Value

  Should be reliable and hold its value

Cons

• Seat Comfort

  I put a pillow behind my back. Never have done that in any car before. But it works with that.

• Power

  Not as responsive as other cars I have owned (Subaru Outback, Forester, Ascent; Nissan Leaf), BUT it has settings so you can adjust. In ECO mode it is not very responsive - very sluggish to move when you press the gas. I have been trying it in Normal mode and it is better and I haven't seen an impact on gas milage, though I'm sure there is some compromise there. It also has Power mode, which I have not tried yet, but I expect is even more responsive. Nice to have options!

• Visibility

  The back window is kind of split and very steeply sloped, which impacts rear visibility

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  roughly 30$ every other week in this economy is fantastic given my daily commute and my last car was twice that

• Seat Comfort

  heated seats in the pnw <3

• Cargo Space

  hauls everything i need it too

Cons

• Cabin Noise

  not while driving necessarily but you can hear it creak and bounce around when I'm unloading it feels concerning also sometimes while accelerating it gets louder than previous vehicles I've had but not an alarming sound just... a sound

• Dashboard

  it's not bad it's just a different style again than I was used to so took some adjusting and also I can't seem to turn the proximity alarm off when I'm in a drive through

Pros

• Fuel Economy

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

• Power

  So much more power than my 08 Prius, this car is fun to drive.

• Ride and Handling

  Ride is sporty, love mountain roads.

Cons

• Braking

  Brakes bind a little sometimes making stopping a little harsh.

Pros

• Fuel Economy

• Technology and Entertainment

• Reliability

Cons

Pros

• Seat Comfort

  Good back support. Also, I’m short and, with a pillow to sit on I can see very well in all directions.

• Cabin Noise

  It helps me to feel relaxed while driving and doesn’t interfere with the sound quality of music.

• Cargo Space

  I can carry things I need, like cloth shopping bags and a shovel and window scraper in winter, and still have plenty of room for a week’s worth of groceries, or several suitcases, or a guitar and other musical gear.

Cons

• Visibility

  I’d better rear visibility.

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  Fuel efficiency is simply smart and responsible, both financially and environmentally.

• Ride and Handling

  It is smooth, comfortable, and has tons of head and leg room, even for someone 6'3".

• Reliability

  Toyota quality all the way. There is a reason that Toyota is always racked high for quality and reliability, and this car is no exception.

Cons

• Power

  Not the most powerful car, but it has all the power I need to do what I need to do.

• Cabin Noise

  Not the quietest car, but so much quieter than my old 2008 Prius, and very quiet for a compact car at the price point.

• Dashboard

  Dashboard is a bit cluttered and the controls are a bit complex, but I quickly got used to them and they are no longer an issue.

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  My work commute no longer makes me agitated about gas $. I feel great about the mileage, the smooth ride and the comfortable set up in the car.

• Cost to Maintain

  Only oil change so far.

• Technology and Entertainment

  Prius is very easy to use and the sound system/radio/CD player are great.

Cons

• Cabin Noise

  It can be loud sometimes - the low to the ground height probably picks up the road noise a little.

• Power

  I am worried in advance about replacing the hybrid battery one day - but all the reviews and Prius owners I know just love the car and the battery is has a long endurance record.

• Technology and Entertainment

  Besides the great radio - the hands free calling is a little old school.
