Toyota Prius - 2006 Reviews

I have owned a Prius in Japan-- and it really is better there -- more standard equipment and different tuning. I have the 2006 I bought new here and I still do love it. I have not had a single problem in the almost 2 years I have owned it. I average about 51 MPG in the summer and about 48 in the winter. It has adequate power, good interior room, a good radio./

The only thing I would improve is to put wider tires for a little better handling.

This should also be a great used car.

i am thing that the hyd car are good to get better . the toyoga are on the right track. i like the cAr .it get good gas mile and has room in the dad seat,

I was skeptical about owning a hybrid, but I chose the car we bought last time, so this time it was my partner's turn, and she wanted a Prius.  We've had this car for over a year now, and boy has she proven me wrong!  I love this car!  It is fun and quick to drive, and even though I have a significant commute, I feel like I hardly ever have to stop at the gas station.  We got a package that includes the keyless system, and I thought it would be kind of a stupid perk, but now I have gotten completely spoiled by it.  Using actual keys when I drive our other car seems so old-fashioned.  It's...

We bought this car as my new commuting vehicle and we love it.  The vehicle is INTELLIGENT - I'm so tired of automakers adding some useless new gadget to their vehicles, just to be able to state that they have something new.  Everything about this car seems like it was designed by an intelligent rational person. 

Some of the coolest features have nothing at all to do with the hybrid nature of the vehicle itself.  Take the remote entry, for example - there's a RFID chip in the key fob.  When the car senses a hand touching the driver's door, the passenger's door, or the cargo hatch, it sends...

My son and I love our Prius. We love the value, the gas mileage and the "spaceship" look and feel to the car. We don't have to get gas very often and when we do, even in these crazy times, we don't put more than $30.00 in which STILL gets us 2 weeks at minimum of gas. We drive everywhere and we like to travel in style and comfort, but we don't want to pay a lot. With the Prius, we can do that. Did I mention the technology? This thing is advanced!!! I always know my current and overall gas mileage, I no longer make jack-rabbit starts because I can guage how I am impacting my vehicle, I can get from...

Great investment - nice to have the engine shutdown at stoplights while the other gas guzzlers are running.   The Prius is a quiet running car - due to size it is very nimble with a good turning radius.   The safety features are good, with airbags, and it's very spacious for the weekend home and garden store trips.  Surprisingly spacious with the split fold down seats.    Averages about 52 City/Highway driving combined. 

I bought the 2006 low mileage Toyotal Prius used, but I love this car.   Would absolutely buy new and add to the family.
