2008 Toyota Prius Reviews

Like the headline. its a solid car, and its one of Toyota's best. but the old
problems are still there. really annoying beeping sounds, an inaccurate
camera for the only thing to help you when you are backing up, and a
volume limit to the stereo... why the hell are they limiting the volume?!

I like how my car handles. My previous car had issues making a simple turn (i.e. the turn radius sucked) but with this one I can whip in and out of parking spots without issue. I love the backup camera, the fact that it's low emissions, and that I get about 47MPG.

Gas mileage, 50 summer, 43 winter (the gas engine runs more in the colder weather to keep the engine warm).   I can go anywhere from 430-500 mi. on a 10 gal tank, depending on the season. The car handles surprisingly well. More than adequate acceleration for getting on highways, etc, but once you are beyond 60, passing acceleration just isn't there. Pretty well appointed for the price.  I have package 4, which includes Premium stereo and Bluetooth. It's larger than I would have thought, and while I can't load up like an SUV, with the back seats folded down, I can get a fair amount of stuff in there. I highly recommend it for anyone that has a hefty daily commute (I travel 85 mi. miles round trip each day).  Also interesting to note that you get better mileage in heavy traffic or city than you do on the open highway (at slower speeds, the car runs more on electric than gas). I am definitely pleased with teh car and would buy another in a minute.  The 2009 will be the next generation...can't wait to see it!

50 Miles per gallon, great sound system, handles the road quite nicely.  Roomy back seat, comfortable seats -- which it had nicer upholstery.  Have saved about 1200 on gas already -- the back up camera is very cool.  The hatchback makes grocery shopping easy and with the seats down it holds quite a bit of stuff.

great gas mileage! It us very fun to drive because you know that you can drive all over and still get great gas mileage. Which is good because it saves you a lot of money! So you should buy a new prius today or tommorow or when ever you want to.
