2005 Toyota Prius

I love this car! I commute 130 miles round-trip to work 5 days a week. In 2 1/2 years I've put about 92k miles on it, and it continues to run great. This car has changed the way I drive (in a good way!). I average about 50 miles per gallon. It's stylish, it has zip when I need it, it's roomy and overall is the best vehicle I've ever owned. I recommend it to anyone that asks! When it comes time to replace it, you can bet I'll buy another Prius.

I have owned my Prius for almost 3 years now. It has been the best car I have ever owned. Although the mileage is not quite as good as the sticker promised, its performance has been excellent. I am pleased that it is a low -emissions vehicle. It seats five comfortably and it has tons of leg room in the back seat for long-legged passengers. The hatch-back allows for lots of cargo hauling. I love how quiet it is especially while waiting at a red light. I would love to buy one each for my kids if I had the funds!

I have had a 2005 for 3 years!  A great ride!  Very little maintenance and great dependablity. 

I purchased a 2005 Toyota Prius on eBay with a salvage title. It had 9,500 miles and had been nicely repaired. I flew to Houston, TX, met the seller and test drove the car. It was great with high end keyless start, bluetooth for cell phone, etc. I paid the seller and drove the Prius home 1100 miles averaging 52 MPG at 70 MPH. Sweet getting 400 miles out of that little 10 gal. or so fuel tank. My wife loves the car and so do the kids who are all over 21 years old now. The chose the Prius to take on a road trip to Toronto this summer with friends from Germany. There were 5 adults with luggage in the Prius.

  Problems have been few but recently I have noticed the right high beam headlight is not working. It is not as simple as changing a headlight bulb on the Prius. The halogen system is costly to repair and it may be a "brainbox" which is causing the problem. That may cost upwards of $350 to fix. The windshield washer has stopped working and I don't know why. I did discover a bent wheel rim which was probably overlooked on the repair of the vehicle but found when I had new tires put on last fall. It's 1/4" out of line and was not possible to balance the wheel as a result. It has not caused undue wear to the tire. The eBay seller said he would provide a replacement wheel and headlight part to remedy the problems.
