Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
The concept of an earth friendly car that is still practical for everyday life.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
- Install head rests that don't force you to drive with a crook in your neck.
- Deliver the advertised fuel mileage not 20 to 30 percent less.
- Improve the crappy seats.
- Make it out of steel not foil...when I close the door the roof pops up.
- Improve rear visibility.
- Improve the oil filter/oil change process. I have to do my own cause it is too complex for Jiffy Lube to do correctly.
2010 Toyota Prius Review:
We get terrible mileage with ours and we drive conservatively...40MPG. I should have bought a Jetta diesel - sturdier, comfier, roomier, safer?, better mileage, same price.
Oh, and it takes forever to make heat in the winter.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
Looks nice.
Drives reasonably well.
Roomy inside.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
Gas mileage STINKS!
Rear view is pretty bad.
2010 Toyota Prius Review:
This would be a great car if it lived up to its advertised gas mileage claims. Although it is said to get 50mpg, I average around 34mpg. Anything except driving downhill where you coast causes a huge drop in mileage. Forget about an uphill climb. It takes miles of downhill driving to make up for a quarter mile of uphill driving.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
Mileage.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
Make the plug in available rather than going to after market.
Provide a 2010 cd data disk for the 2010 navigation system. Pretty embarrassing for Toyota to sell a 2010 car with a 2008 data.
Wow, it's not just the brakes or gas pedal. Hope I can sell it and just get out from under.
2010 Toyota Prius Review:
Might try a dumb down version of a plug in but stuff like 2 year old data for the gps? Will stick with my Garmin and $50 update rather than a Toyota $250 update.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
Design.
Turning ratio.
Gas consumption.
Size.
Sound System.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
The car has creaks and rattles far beyond any car I have owned for the last 30 years, and it is only 2 1/2 months old.
There is a problem with the brakes as well. If the brakes are applied and the car goes over a bump, the brakes release their hold for a second or so. I have reported this to Toyota for I believe it is a safety concern.
The car also need lights for the mirror controls which are impossible to see at night.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
Technology.
HUD (head up display is standard).
Every other car on the road is using 100 year old technology. This feels so futuristic to drive.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
Rear wiper should be in the center.
That's it.
2010 Toyota Prius Review:
I absolutely love it. It is such a breath of fresh air. When you drive this, you realize every other car is exactly the same from the cheapest to the dearest. My former cars in order - Audi A4, BMW320 (really disliked this small car), and just recently Saab 93. All bought new.
Compared to these the Prius is so futuristic and very different.
I gave performance a 4. This is a relative score. It is more than ample for every day use and especially passing out. But won't beat a Porsche at the lights (this is not what this car is about).

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
The gas mileage of course ! But .... as you've heard before .. "THE REAR WINDOW SPOILER"!! WHY ? Also mine is "noisy {".. not sure if if it is battery related .. Also radio bas frequency distorts. I am returning to Toyota to tell them to do something about that!!
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
Lose the rear spoiler ...and center console! Install better radio ..speakers etc.!

2010 Toyota Prius Review:
I had a 2005 prius. Never got stuck in the snow, love'd it,
bought a 2010 prius. Can't move if my front tires are on snow and on the the littlest incline. Do not buy this car if you live in any state that has snow!!!! Doris M

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
Prius is the role model that every car needs to look up to.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
The redesign lost some character. Some cool design element would make this car perfect in every way.
2010 Toyota Prius Review:
We love our Prius. It's packed with technology, and it gets much better MPG than it's Honda competitor.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
Very quiet.
Fantastic gas mileage.
Roomy interior with lots of headroom.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
The Prius 2010 has terrible rear visibility. I have backed out of my driveway for 18 years and never come close to hitting the hickory tree on the driver's side at the end. Two weeks after purchasing the Prius 2010, I whammed it into the tree, thinking I was clearing it handily as usual. Every review on the Prius notes this problem; why has Toyota neglected it? There's no excuse for this design: a spoiler in the middle of the back window, a tinted window below, wide panels obscuring corner vision with a tiny little window in them, a window shape that narrows toward the bottom of the window, creating the sense that the body of the car is narrower than it is, and a large, solid headrest that's difficult to see around. Thank goodness I only hit a tree, even though the rear side panel is a mess. Changing lanes in traffic is dicey because of the visibility problem, and I am normally a very confident driver. I would expect there to be lawsuits over this, if there haven't been already.
2010 Toyota Prius Review:
As much as I like the Prius, I couldn't recommend buying it until the dangerous visibility problem has been corrected. You shouldn't have to pay for a back-up camera to compensate for a design flaw.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Toyota Prius?
I like the look of hatchbacks, and they car is roomy inside.
Good turning radius.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Toyota Prius?
Costs WAY too much.
Pollutes more than a hummer(counting what it takes to make it).
Big plastic bar between the rear windows is at eye level, a very bad safety flaw.
2010 Toyota Prius Review:
TOO MUCH MONEY! I could barley afford to get it, and when I took a test drive, IT SUCKED.
