My first Toyota

"This is my first Toyota ever. a 2013 Persona Prius I am a previous owner of a Jeep 2010. Served me well for 3 years but, you know, 19 MPG isn't exactly good. I bought this car for 1. Mileage, I drive 140 miles twice weekly commute. and believe or not 2. Design, this might sound weird but I used my friends 2012 Prius and liked the inside and outside. I have owned this car for over 1 month and a half and put 5000 miles on it, I feel like I'm ready to give my opinion. 1. Value: one of the highest values in the market, for a car that cost less than 30000, gets 50 miles per gallon (yes it does), has one of the best resale values in the industry, has the renowned Toyota reliability (Google "a Prius hits one million miles") this is outstanding. 2.Driving Dynamics: Call me a geek, but I am enjoying the Hybrid Dynamics in general, and the idea of harnessing energy while breaking (regenerative breaking) in particular. I have no idea why there are still cars being manufactured that do not regenerate all that energy when breaking. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed driving my Jeep as much as the next owner but, I AM enjoying driving my Prius as much. 3. Design, interior and exterior: I like the design inside and out. I actually like it a lot. Granted, I have the 17 inch alloy wheels, Lower door moldings, Illuminated door sims, Leather seats which do make a difference in how the car looks and gives a good feel and impression to the driver. 4. Quality/Reliability: Toyota is renowned for making quality cars. Their reliability is the best in the market. The quality is amazing too. You get standard top safety features, bluetooth connectivity, remote keyless entry, multi information display, top fuel economy. In addition, the Persona I own has more Standard features such as Navigation, Leather, rear backing camera, 17 inch Alloy wheels. 5. Comfort and convenience: This car is very comfortable, I am a fan of the layout of the dashboard and center console. Leather seating also make for more comfort/quality feel. It is one of the most convenient cars too, with the multi information display that gives you A-Z information. I also am enjoying the app connectivity. This is a Smart Car. You get apps and all. It's also future proof. You can Update the apps as they evolve. It also has great back seat and trunk space. Summary, this car is great on so many levels no wonder it's getting this Persona of it's own. Whenever you think Hybrid you think Prius, even though a dozen or more manufacturers are making Hybrids of all kink. But for Toyota to have this car on the road since the 1990's and to hit 5 million in sales recently this is a huge accomplishment and a testimony to this car greatness. Happy new Toyota Owner"

BEST CAR EVER!

By Sussey Q (TX) on Thursday, May 02, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 64,000

Pros: "$30 fill up and LOTS of room for the size!"

Cons: "It won't fit five kids. ;)"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"This is my SECOND Prius to own, my sister owns one and my mom is on her second prius as well. The only issue we have had is after about at 140,000 miles on my sister's car and 200,000 on my car the battery went out and that's about $4000. By then the car wasn't worth that so I just got a new one. Also one of the AC components went out in my mom's first one(which is why she sold it to me!) but, it only cost about $750 for my husband to order the part and replace it himself. It has about as much room as my sister's Tahoe, and is a great well thought out car. To top it off, it costs me $30 to fill up. This couldn't be a better car and i am so so sad that I have to sell mine since I got pregnant and we won't all fit in my prius now. :( If they made a Prius with third row seating I would be all over it. Haha"

The Best Car I ever owned. The Prius III 2010

By BigDad (NJ) on Wednesday, May 01, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 41,500

Pros: "Well built Car with Great Mileage"

Cons: "Lack of Lumbar seat, Full time Traction Control"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Plenty of power, Great Gas milage if your driving habits are good that is. The few complaints I have 1)The drivers seat lacks a Lumbar support. To get one, you have to spend a lot more money (up to $4200.00) and comes with leather seats and a lot more of things you may not want. 2) No Tachometer, 3) Cannot take front wheels out of Traction control which will get you stuck in the snow"
