In their own words

The new Prius is a seriously good car. On my previous Prius I got 53 mpg on the new one I get 68 mpg. The ride and handling is also much better. This is an excellent long distance cruiser which is totally stress free to drive. I opted for the 15 inch wheels as they improve both the fuel economy and the C02 emissions. I also think they improve the ride as well. They may not look as nice as the 17" alloys but they do the job well. Only issue is with the amount of technology in the car. The first couple of days was spent trying to turn stuff off. I also had to go on the Internet to find out how to set the correct time on the clock. Once you are used to the technology you appreciate how clever these feature are. It even stopped me reversing into another car in a car park. I know the Prius is not trendy or sexy but it is a fine car that you will learn to love.

How reliable do you find the car?

Only issue was recall for parking brake.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

This replaced an 08 Prius. It is so much better.
