| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
We like its sharp styling, great mileage and futuristic cockpit with all the bells and whistles.
It is very comfortable with the adjusting drivers seat, the Smart Key is great, and the navigation system works well.
At this point we are really pleased with our purchase.
Averaging 48 plus mpg in mixed driving conditions.
It has as much if not more room than our 02 Camry and the cargo area is excellent.
We went with the 17" tires to get improved handling and this gave us a little rougher ride! Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
Visibility to the rear isn't the best - better have the back up camera.
Would have liked to see the headliner and cargo area in the same color as our leather seats - minor point.
Couldn't get the moon roof on the V which we would of liked to have.
It is overpriced! 2010 Toyota Prius Review:
Overall we are very pleased. It is a fun car to drive, although it takes some adjustment of driving habits. The mileage has been super and it is a comfortable ride with plenty of room in the cabin. Has plenty of "zoom" when you need it, although it isn't a sports car. You can't go wrong with this car if you can afford it! |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
The 2010 Prius has added many new bells and whistles that keep this vehicle on top. I have a Prius V with the Advanced Technology Package on order. The test drive confirmed the new Prius' improved performance and seating comfort. I really like the adjustable driver's seat and telescopic/tilt steering wheel. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
Until I've driven the Prius for more than a test drive it's difficult to identify any cons. Perhaps a power outlet in the rear seats would be useful. Of course a plug-in would have been a nice option. But I'll be ecstatic if I can attain the 50 mpg rating. 2010 Toyota Prius Review:
I agree that the Prius is not a "cheap" car. But it is a quality made vehicle and way ahead of the competition when it comes to design and options. The interior is very clean and uncluttered. The basic Prius is well worth the extra $1500 over the Honda Insight. In my case the Prius V comes with leather, 17-inch wheels, LED head/tail lights...all features I couldn't get with the Insight. I'm anxious to show off my red Prius and will enjoy passing all those gas stations. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
Very quiet.
Fantastic gas mileage.
Roomy interior with lots of headroom. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
The Prius 2010 has terrible rear visibility. I have backed out of my driveway for 18 years and never come close to hitting the hickory tree on the driver's side at the end. Two weeks after purchasing the Prius 2010, I whammed it into the tree, thinking I was clearing it handily as usual. Every review on the Prius notes this problem; why has Toyota neglected it? There's no excuse for this design: a spoiler in the middle of the back window, a tinted window below, wide panels obscuring corner vision with a tiny little window in them, a window shape that narrows toward the bottom of the window, creating the sense that the body of the car is narrower than it is, and a large, solid headrest that's difficult to see around. Thank goodness I only hit a tree, even though the rear side panel is a mess. Changing lanes in traffic is dicey because of the visibility problem, and I am normally a very confident driver. I would expect there to be lawsuits over this, if there haven't been already. 2010 Toyota Prius Review:
As much as I like the Prius, I couldn't recommend buying it until the dangerous visibility problem has been corrected. You shouldn't have to pay for a back-up camera to compensate for a design flaw. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
I like the look of hatchbacks, and they car is roomy inside.
Good turning radius. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
Costs WAY too much.
Pollutes more than a hummer(counting what it takes to make it).
Big plastic bar between the rear windows is at eye level, a very bad safety flaw. 2010 Toyota Prius Review:
TOO MUCH MONEY! I could barley afford to get it, and when I took a test drive, IT SUCKED. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
Great Mileage, nice exterior, and that's it. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
WAY OVERPRICED!!!!
The Prius 2010 Model III MSRP (with navigation) $25,985.00, yet with the added fees, plates, and recommended extended Warranty. The price jumped to around 32K, non-negotiable price according to dealer because of high demand. WHAT THE BLEEP!! so much for an affordable car!! The Honda Insight EX starts at 21,790 and are willing to negotiate price. 2010 Toyota Prius Review:
NOT WORTH THE PRICE, EVEN IF YOU STRIP DOWN TO THE LOWEST MODEL. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
Excellent fuel consumption for a gasoline-powered car. Nothing else can touch it. Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
Exterior styling should have taken more cues from latest Prius concept car. Instead, the 2010 is not that different from the 04-09 design. The concept car looked much more futuristic and would have been a nice evolution. 2010 Toyota Prius Review:
We've had both the original 2001 and second generation 07 Prius. Both have been outstanding cars, the 07 in particular. With the 2010 model Toyota engineering continues its record of improving comfort, performance, and fuel consumption even more. Great car! |

| Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
I like the new design and many of the "out of the box" features, such as the solar panel sun roof. The car looks really comfortable and it's less shaped like an egg. Also, the sportier engine is a plus! Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
It's over priced! I really hope that Honda gives Toyota a real fight so that the price of a hybrid is more practical for consumers interested in going green. Also, I have no idea how a solar panel can cost so much money. I can get one installed on my home to power my microwave oven, refrigerator, entertainment system, and heating for much less. The solar panel on the Toyota can only power a small fan! And finally, why can't anyone with enough money get a car with ALL the features? 2010 Toyota Prius Review:
Cool car but it cost way too much. I hope the auto dealers don't haggle me to pay above MSRP on a new Prius. It's terrible when they say, "If you don't buy this car, I have a line of other people who will." Cool cars shouldn't be left only for the computer science nerd hippies. |
