I have recently purchased Toyota Prius after considering many similar models available of the same class. It did come at a very high price and even though there are various models like Honda Civic available which are much cheaper, Toyota Prius still stands out. The exterior structure of this hybrid has been aerodynamically designed to facilitate advanced functions that delivers quality performance. The exterior comes with beautifully designed and functional equipment like front headlights with halogen lamps, aggressive and large front air dam and good quality LED tail-lamps. Coming towards the advanced technology, the car comes with a Hybrid Synergy Drive that aides in delivering high class engine performance and smooth driving with optimum fuel efficiency. Moreover, the car has a reduced vehicle weight and aims at reducing energy consumption. The most impressive aspect for me is the spacious cabin that delivers utmost comfort and convenience. Along with abundant legroom for rear passenger, there are a lot of gadget in the front that makes the ride even more interesting. The most prominent equipment is the electronic shift lever with high touch operation, automated air-conditioning system and an audio system with CD/MP3/blue-tooth and Audio jack. In addition, the front also feature an eco-drive monitor, which is a 5 inch screen that enables to driver to choose between driving modes like power mode, eco-mode and electric vehicle mode. All these high definition features makes this car worth the incredibly high price. Along with that, an optimum engine performance makes this a perfect car.

With Toyota Prius, I predict many accidents with this poor dashboard design..
14 years ago | Whoofer
The Gages are too far from the driver, way too small in relation to the distance to the driver and most importantly, too far off center in relation to the steering wheel. It takes more time while observing the gages to refocuses on the road at 65 miles mph than to look straight up from gages placed directly in front of the driver. This will cause much eye fatigue as well as accidents. Mark my words.. Now will Toyota engineers see this design flaw and correct it? Probably not because the little guy who sees e-mail observation will never send it to the CEO who really needs to know before someone get hurt. I was going to buy this car but since I drove it, I have changed my mind. I have three Toyotas in my family. A 2006 Toyota Sienna Mini Van LE I bought new a few years ago, a 2003 Celica, and a 1996 Toyota Camry LE. .The most comfortable and pleasant and non obtrusive Dashboard design was the 1996 Toyota Camry which was for the most part successfully copied thirteen years later in the Sienna Van. Do this placement digitally on the Prius and you will have a winner. For now I have decided to hold off buying this 2010 model Prius. And please put a door on that closet! Other than these two issues, your car is near perfect.

I am an owner of a Toyota New Prius have been thoroughly satisfied with the performance

I am an owner of a Toyota New Prius have been thoroughly satisfied with the performance. This global hybrid car not only caters to passenger comfort but also delivers a powerful performance. Prius is powered with a 1798 cc petrol engine that delivers maximum power of 98 bhp at the rate of 5200 rpm and maximum torque generation of 142 nm at the rate of 4000 rpm. The thing that caught my attention about Toyota Prius is its brilliantly designed exterior. I own this model in beige metallic exterior colour which is complimented with equipment like body coloured bumpers, parking sensors, stylish halogen headlamps, Led tail-lamps and an aggressive front air dam. After driving the vehicle for a couple of times, I got to know about various features that I missed during the test drive. For instance, the cabin comes with a centre meter display has a touch tracer features that displays switches integrated into the steering wheel. Moreover, there is a five inch screen called the Eco drive monitor that supports information about fuel efficient driving. The cabin also sports sufficient rear space that provides comfortable legroom. All these features make this car unique among other cars of its class.

I am quite impressed by the performance of the Toyota Prius Z4
12 years ago | Kishore
I am quite impressed by the performance of the Toyota Prius Z4, which is my latest purchase. This luxury sedan is best in its class and it is loaded with a powerful engine. The 1.8 litre 2ZR-FXE petrol engine of this car has a displacement of 1798cc. I can boast about the 97.8 hp of this car, which is generated at 5200 rpm. Driving this car, I have experienced no fault in its suspension braking. Toyota Prius Z4 can reach high speed in no time due to its powerful engine. Three drive mode switches is present in the car, which allows the driver to select among three driving modes. Eco Mode, Power Mode and Electric Vehicle Mode are three modes. It is a hybrid vehicle and hence both engine and motor are controlled by Hybrid Synergy Drive technology. Some features for which I became a fan of this car include lowest exhaust emissions, greater fuel economy, silky-smooth performance and fastest acceleration. If safety is a cause of concern, then I feel Toyota Prius Z4 is the best car as it is loaded with numerous safety features like 7 SRS airbags, active head rests, and ABS with EBD. Due to the presence of these features, I find safe while travelling in Toyota Prius Z4.
