I've had this car for almost three years now and it is, hands down, one of the most reliable and stylish cars I've ever had. The gas mileage is a major plus as someone who drives nearly 700 miles a week. I also appreciate the gas mileage because of how inexpensive my fill ups at the pump are. Being environmentally conscious, using less gas is something I care deeply about. Also, since I commute so much, I care about comfort, and this care is one of the most comfortable ones that I've driven. I rarely have to do maintenance on this car, with the exception of the requisite oil changes. I had the tires changed on it once in the three years that I've had it and to date, that's been the most expensive repair I've had done. The Bluetooth is reliable and my phone immediately pairs after I start the car. It looks and feels like a space ship and feels so futuristic. It takes maybe an extra couple of seconds for my Prius to get up to speed than previous cars I've had, but it's not so much to be dangerous or annoying, because once I get there, I'm passing up almost everyone on the road if I'm not careful, because the ride is so smooth that I don't notice how quickly I'm driving if I don't check the speedometer.
