Overall, this car has been great. Toyota in general has always done me right. Since owning the car, I have had zero mechanical issues with the car. I have changed the oil and rotated tires regularly, and it has treated me well. The fuel efficiency, which is usually why you buy a hybrid, has been quite nice. I no longer have to hunt for the cheapest gas price or worry about filling up. It takes less than $30 to fill up no matter where I stop, and this gets me 450-500 miles. Great for road trips. It has plenty of room for hauling most items. Granted, it is four-door hatchback, so it does have it limitations in that department, but I have fit a surprising amount in it. I own a 70-lb. dog, and he fits in the backseat nicely. I usually lay the seats down, and he has all the room he could need.

I love my Prius. I originally purchased it because it gets great gas mileage. I travel a lot for work, and gas is a huge expense. Being able to get upwards of 45 to 50 miles per gallon really cuts down on that expense. After the purchase, I also started liking a lot more of it. It's very comfortable. The sound system is also amazing. It's one of those JBL systems that must have been an upgrade. I am a musician so this was very important to me.
