The 2011 Prius is a versatile little car. Offering four doors it accommodates a family of four exceptionally well. There is room for a fifth member but the back seat gets cramped at that point. The biggest draw is its exceptional gas mileage. On average, I am able to pull off between 43 to 48 mpg. It offers all four driving modes in total to operate in; Normal, Electric, Eco, and Performance. The performance mode adds a significant amount of boost and is excellent for accelerating up to highway speeds or passing. I love how much cargo space the vehicle musters in what seems to be a tiny car. I was able to fit all of the lumber for a dining room table will the largest spans running 7.5 feet. The rear seat folded down nicely to accommodate this. Much of the vehicle's information controls and audio controls are located right on the steering wheel and allow for quick access. The dash console is extremely well laid out and provides a digital speed indicator (which I love). The seats are heated which comes in handy in the colder months of the Pacific Northwest.

Love the gas mileage! We travel a ton and this car has really saved us money. The only major things we have done in 70,000 miles is change the tires, change the oil, and flush the fuel injector. Owning this car has been a breeze. We get a lot of flack for owning a Prius, but I don't really care. I'd drive this car to the other side of the country and back. It has really been a joy to drive this car. The backup camera adds a lot to experience, auto dimming lights, the heated seats and Bluetooth. It's also fun to try and out do your last MPG on the display panel each time you fill up.
