Detailed review: |
I bought the Prius because of the (1) mileage, and (2) the environmental impact. After putting 4000+ miles on it, I find it's a great car in many other ways. The Prius is fun to drive, very comfortable, spacious, and filled with high-tech feature, which I enjoy, being a Tech-Head. The fit and finish are first-rate, as I espect from Toyota. My gasoline bill for the last three months had dropped about $250, over what I was paying for the Volvo XC70, which sits forlornly neglected (until ski season, that it).
Some minuses: the ride is a bit soft for me, the speedo display and clock are very dim and hard to read, and the JBL sound system is a bit whimpy, for the cost. Other than that, the Prius is what I wanted in a car. |
