• “If you're looking for a hybrid with the best fuel economy, best reputation ... Toyota Prius is still the king.” — Kelley Blue Book
• “...remains the iconic, highest-mileage gasoline car on the market; it's a practical and spacious hatchback that can seat five while returning jaw-dropping fuel economy” — The Car Connection
• “A characteristic "flying buttress" console that sweeps down from the top of the dash is the first thing that catches the eye. It's striking, but the storage space under it is awkward to reach.” — The Car Connection
• “For those who like a challenge, the Prius can actually top its EPA estimates when driven conservatively by taking advantage of regenerative braking, avoiding hard acceleration and keeping speeds low.” — Kelley Blue Book
• “Toyota's Intelligent Parking Assist system steers the car into a parallel-parking space, with the system automatically steering the car while the driver provides the acceleration and braking. Ford's similar system is somewhat better, but the Toyota system remains a rarity on a volume car and a useful aid for nervous city drivers regardless.” — The Car Connection
• “What's not to like about 50 mpg?” — Car and Driver
• “The Hybrid Synergy Drive system always modulates between its power sources to maximize efficiency, recapturing the highest amount of energy that would otherwise have been wasted. First-time Prius drivers, though, may find the experience disconcerting.” — The Car Connection
