The car's efficiency is as advertised. We get mileage around town and on the highway that is possibly even better than we anticipated. We have yet to have any reliability issues. The sightlines in front are an issue that takes getting used to.

I love my Toyota Prius. I purchased it over ten years ago, and it has worked well and given me excellent gas mileage. During the last ten years, I have put 125,000 thousand miles on my car and had very few problems with the car. The brand is a dependable one, and the car handles well. Some of the cons about it are the battery costs more than a regular car's battery to replace, and it needs a new one every three–five years. The car also is on the lighter side, and you can feel the push of heavy winds. These are very small problems to someone who has owned many other cars in the past that have had major engine problems. My first car was a used minivan, and after 110,000 miles, the engine block developed a huge crack and was not worth replacing. The cabin also has room to seat four adults comfortably with cup holders for everyone to rest a drink inside. The car also has a back-up camera which is a very nice tool to help when backing up and parking the car. This has held up very well for me, and with about 43 MPG, it has helped me save money at the pump.
