The National Highway... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431358512772 Sun, 25 May 2008 10:11:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431358512772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_212400377476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author snewm03 - Now that they have changed a problem in the internal computer, the car is getting an average of 45 mpg city and better than than on the highway. This is a roomy vehicle, with plenty of power to get onto the freeways when you need it.

But I will add this: The Prius, with its high rear-end, hatchback, and folding rear... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~181966900868 Mon, 2 May 2005 23:46:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_181966900868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_179923291780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author faithsopinions - Before buying my 2004 Prius I was a bit concerned about being able to feel the car switch between electric & gasoline - You Can't!

I bought it in on an on-line auction site, and drove it back from Connecticut to Austin, Texas with three adults and two children. I can (and will) tell you how it drives on long hauls with five... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173153619588 Sat, 12 Feb 2005 15:28:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173153619588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_165940596356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ze_shark - The first contact with the car is disconcerting: drop in, press the start button (the key-less system takes care of the rest), and this thing starts moving in silence. At least until you attempt to get to real speed, where suddenly the magic fades and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~165940596356 Sat, 18 Dec 2004 15:44:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_165940596356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_160358436484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kjb516 - After driving my Prius for around 7,000 miles over the last 4 months, I can honestly say that I will never purchase another non-hybrid automobile ever again.

Admitted, the 52+ mpg sticker fuel efficiency rating is probably not realistic, but hey ... I typically make 46 - 48 mpg and that ain't bad either. However, there is a lot more to this car than... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~145994649220 Thu, 1 Jul 2004 23:53:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_145994649220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_141231099524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author realtorgirl - We bought this car because Toyota finally came out with a hatchback model. Having three kids, that was a necessity if I was going to return to a car. I have to say this car is a tremendous value. It drives, and rides beautifully, is very ergonomic,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~141231099524 Mon, 24 May 2004 18:36:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_141231099524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_140881858180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author doppler520 - I now have 530 miles on my 2004 Prius. I love it. Quiet, responsive, powerful and economic. Average mileage is less than advertised at 45 MPG (so far), but a lot better than my 18 MPG Jeep Wrangler! Needless to say, Prius Rules.

It now has 7500 miles on it; we bought it new. It is practical and reasonably comfortable, roomy, and quiet. Performance is fine; acceleration is certainly adequate and safe, cornering is tight,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~138782543492 Tue, 4 May 2004 09:31:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_138782543492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_137116946052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bobjordan13 - Talk about a "paradigm shift". I thought the days of owning an economy car were long gone. Then, I read about, test drove and bought an '04 Prius (package #9). Now, I consider high mileage (53-MPG in the 6,000 miles I've owned it), low emissions and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~137116946052 Sat, 17 Apr 2004 18:26:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_137116946052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_136857095812?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tahquitzman - I have been interested in purchasing a car that gets great gas mileage. I have owned several Toyota's and Honda's and small American economy cars. The cars I have owned had previously got around 30 miles to a gallon of gas.

I saw the 2004 and my jaw practically dropped, the finish was so good, the mileage even higher and the interior roomier. The price of gas is going to be sky high now and we better get used... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~135295635076 Thu, 1 Apr 2004 20:59:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_135295635076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_134820499076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author djasonw - I was doing some research last summer and found out about the restyled/designed Prius. I decided this was going to be my next car. I contacted a dealer in suburban Scranton, PA that had no one on their waiting list (it was July '03).

I thought I'd get a call in January or February, but mid-December they had the car I wanted. All the Toyota dealerships wanted some down-payment to get on their list.

I ordered it without ever getting into one beforehand and am very pleased with it and all its technology and it's midsize car ride.

I'm still in the break-in period and my fuel economy has not hit its peak yet, but I'm getting much better mileage than my Subaru Impreza.

The price, fully loaded: tax, title, license, out the door, was just under $30K. I put $5K down, sold my old 1997 Jeep Wrangler on my own, and my payment on the $25K is $398.22 per month at 5%, to buy, not to lease... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~125373877892 Fri, 9 Jan 2004 16:42:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_125373877892?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_124685946500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gbcecil - I have had a 2004 Prius for 2 months as of Jan 04.

But it's certainly a hyped-up product. It remains to be seen whether it delivers on all the promises! First of all, my dealer has stopped taking 2004 orders! So you may... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~123417366148 Mon, 29 Dec 2003 18:05:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_123417366148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_120930995844?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dodgers1fan - I own a 2003 Prius and, received my 2004 today. After driving my new 2004 I realized I like my 2003 better. The visibility in the 2004 was poor. I decided to keep my 2003 and, made someone on the 2004's waiting lists day!
