Much-needed Efficiency in a Time of Rising Inflation

This car is special and beautiful. When it came out, it was one of a kind. They took so many things into account. It is spacious, beautiful, light, fuel efficient, and well-made. I can sleep in the back when I fold down the back seats. I can carry many things in it. Road trips are awesome. I recommend it for anyone who lives on a tight budget but likes to travel.

Best vehicle I've ever had!

Over 202,000 miles and still going strong. Toyota took good care of me for years making certain I was treated with respect as well as kept up to date regarding Service, Warranties, and relevant recalls. Other Toyota independent repairs groups have also been through and true to their word.

Fabulous 2006 prius

Love this car. Easy to maneuver, very good fuel economy, good cargo space without the hassle of leaning down into a trunk. Performance great with regular maintenance. Was considering a new car but decided to have this one detailed instead. Thrilled with the outcome. Love this car!

Reliable

I purchased a Prius in 2006. It has been driven over 130,000 miles. It has been a reliable car. I have been diligent about taking the car in for the scheduled twice a year tune ups. During those tune ups the technicians have been able to stay ahead of any service needs. The car has never had a mechanical breakdown. Ave 40 miles per gallon for around town & brief freeway. On long freeway trips it goes up to 55 miles/gallon. Maintenance costs: average

They are extremely reliable and last forever

If you want to buy an inexpensive car that lasts hundreds of thousands of miles buy a used Prius I have owned four and collectively Have driven more than 1,000,000 miles Not one problem with the Hybrid battery

Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'

This old tag line from Timex watches applies just as well to my old Prius. I have own more than a few cars in my life and this Toyota product is by far the most reliable and least costly of any I have owned. At over 218,000 miles, it still gets 45-48 mpg. Even as a 2006, I receive about 5-6 calls a year from Toyota dealers wanting to buy my car. Why? Because they know they can resell it for a profit. And yes, I always tell them no, not my Prius.

2007 Prius

My Prius is a fun vehicle and has performed well with regular oil/filter changes and subscribed maintenance. I drive over 20,000 miles/year and the car continues to keep me going. Comfortable to drive for short or long distances.

2006 Prius

It is my second Prius (the first having been totaled after only three months in a rear ended accident). The first Prius was such a sound vehicle we ordered another as soon as paperwork was done. Best car I have ever owned. It still gets a little over forty miles a gallon and staying with every dashboard reminder to take care of maintenance has probably been the difference. It is getting a little worn inside but I don't mind. I will drive it till it says no more. Great car.

I love my Prius, which keeps on serving me well despite my less than perfect care of it.

Well, I do have the maintenance done regularly! This is an economical, peppy, fun to drive car that has served me well for 13 years, and I hope that it continues to do so a bunch more. It recently got a new storage battery (through Champion Auto), and its mileage returned to as if new!

2006

Even at this age for my vehicle it is apparent I made a great choice. it still gets around 40-43 mpg. It is getting a little more worn inside but I trust this car so much. I would not hesitate to get another Prius should the time come to consider a new car. Regular maintenance checks have kept it in good shape and not one major mechanical issue (aside from a hit and run accident) has caused me any concern. Great car.

Nice, economical and dependable

This car works like a charm, when and if it is well taken care of. Handles very well in adverse weather conditions for a vehicle of that size. The Prius is a very well crafted machine and I will recommend it to any person who is looking for style, sophistication and economy, combined with environmental consciousness in engineering.

Reliable

I bought my Prius new 12 years ago. It is still very reliable & the interior has held up well. I drive a combination of side streets & freeway. The car averages 43 miles to the gallon. On long freeway trips the gas mileage improves to 55 mpg.

Toyota Prius 2006.

Great gas mileage. Interior suits my needs, comfortable & roomy. Not as great in snow, tends to slip & slide.Sorry, don't feel need to say more " characters" based on my already answered survey questions.

2006 Prius

I love my Prius. It’s the most reliable car I’ve ever had, and I’m not young! The only mechanical repairs I’ve had to do in 152,000 miles is a couple of tail light replacements and a wheel bearing. My only criticisms of the Prius is it’s not the most comfortable car to sit in and it’s not good in the snow. Otherwise, it’s a great car with great gas mileage, roomy, and I love the hatchback.

Love this Car!

My Prius is a 2006 model, which makes it 12 years old. It doesn't look or perform like a 12 year old car, however. It drives great, still gets awesome mileage (42 to 45 around town and 50 or higher on the highway). It has all the bells and whistles, gadgets and things that I need and use. I keep up to date on service, and the Prius has not let me down. It's an awesome car.

Cannot kill it!

My vehicle is a 2006 Prius with 173,000+ miles on it. I have owned it for 150,000+ miles of that time. It is without a doubt the most economical car I have ever owned in terms of reliability, cost and gas mileage (42-46 mpg), regular gas. When I get my next car, in all likelihood it will be a another Prius.

Prius 2006

This vehicle is one I can depend on. As for the mileage, hands down, the best. We generally use it to deliver the papers, everyday, 365 days a year. So, you can imagine we encounter all types of weather, wet and snow. We love the way it handles in all the conditions.

Happy with this used car. It’s very clean, and only has 150,000 miles. Recently went on a long trip - 2 hour trip. I averaged 42 MPG. Not bad for a 12 year old Prius. Very clean, paint looks great! Love the car!

2005 Toyota Prius

This is a runaway best car I have ever owned. I have purchased four TOYOTA'S over the years, (three from Burien). This car just keeps running with no major issues. It is now 11 years old and still gets about forty two miles per gallon in town and forty five to forty eight on the highway. Amazing. The interior is getting a little worn but I will keep this one a few more years. The Prius is everything that I wanted, and everything that Burien said I would get for performance. I have referred several people to Burien and to buy a Prius, which they did. They too feel it was a super choice. My next car?..Well it will be a Prius, of course.
