Used Toyota Prius for Sale in Longview, TX

The 2007 Toyota Prius base model is one of the best cars that I have ever owned. For a ten-year-old car, the gas mileage is still at the top compared to newer model cars (such as the 2016 Toyota Camry). Being in college almost 100 miles away from home, it's usually hard to move into the dorms without the use of a truck/SUV to haul your dorm room essentials. However, the Prius provides the ability to lay down the back seats in order to convert the small hatchback into a large "bed" of sorts in order to put as much in as you can, which makes it easy to fit everything you need to move into a dorm. Other awesome things this car has is storage space galore. In the hatchback, there is a compartment that can be used that is right above the spare tire, and in the front of the car, there is a drawer under the center console that can be used as well as a compartment under the radio and above the glove compartment. The touchscreen radio also acts as the controller of the A/C and heater as well as a graph that displays current mileage and trip mileage in five minute increments. Despite its low power output, the Prius is pretty versatile in different environments. Wet roads, muddy dirt roads, etc. are no match for this car.

This review is about my 2010 Toyota Prius. I purchased it new in February 2011. It has been my daily driver, as well as my long-distance vacation car since, and I have racked up over 150,000 miles on it during that time. I was a little hesitant about the cost of ownership of a hybrid vehicle, but my concerns were completely off-base. This has been the lowest cost of ownership vehicle I have ever had. In the nine years that I have owned the car, the only expenses that I have had are basic consumables; such as gasoline, oil, tires, a new battery (the 12V battery, not the hybrid battery) and the headlights. Other than that, the car has been completely bulletproof. It is roomy, and I have moved us in it three times in that period of time, due to just how much space is available in the back when the seats are down. It is extremely comfortable to ride in, with heated leather bucket seats. The electric-compressor based air-conditioning also works very well, providing able AC during the hot summer months. The fuel efficient is also extremely good, and there has been no drop-off in fuel economy. On my commute, I can consistently get over 60 MPG. On the highway, even at 75 MPH, I still get around 50 MPG, after all this time on they hybrid battery. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Toyota Prius, when this one is finally at the end of it's useful life, which I don't anticipate happening any time soon.
