by cntaur5 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100
Mar 25 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Safety, serious gas saver!
Cons: It's not for aggressive highway driving.
The Bottom Line: By and large, it's not the fastest car on the road, but it is capable of handling the daily grind most cities dish out.

With gas prices climbing, and the news media bragging about all the hybrid vehicles on the road, I wanted to be one of those forward thinking consumers and try out a hybrid car on my next business trip. The Toyota Prius 2007 is a ...

by za9ra22
Jun 08 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Well built, unconventional, fuel-efficient, low emission. Addictive to drive, lots of toys!
Cons: Nothing appreciable!
The Bottom Line: An excellent vehicle to drive, with lots of space, great fuel efficiency, ultra low emissions and very unconventional design and technologies incorporated. Highly recommended.

“It’s very ‘Nintendo’ really”, the salesman said leaning from the back seat to point out the joystick-like gear shift, power button and center display panel. “Not so much a car as a large box of electronics.” Unusually for a salesman, he was right. ...

Painlessly different

by how2buy101
May 14 '07 - Updated Jul 20 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: way high mpgs, not noisy, supple ride, spacious
Cons: restricted driving position, greeny-geeky stigma
The Bottom Line: a smart little mammal among dying dinosaurs

About hybrids: So-called because they use both petrofuel and electric power. Current hybrids derive all their energy from petrofuel, but use an electrical system to recover, store and reuse energy normally lost during braking and deceleration. ...

Prius: the 51st way to leave your lover?

by foxfroggy
Jun 29 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Environmentally friendly, great mileage, tax rebate, and a nice ride
Cons: Not much flash or snob appeal and not lively on hills
The Bottom Line: A good car, but the 2008 may be worth the wait

Stealth isn't usually one of the considerations for choosing a car, but if it is, the Prius may be just your thing. A good friend has the 2007 model and in conversation mentioned how useful it would have been when sneaking in and out of his girlfriend's ...

What I like and don't like about the 07 Prius...

by an_amazing_guy
May 18 '07 - Updated May 21 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: fuel economy(of course), smooth ride, A/C, eco-friendly.
Cons: No side moldings, spotty availability, unknown repair costs,rear visibility needs getting used to.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking only at dollars and cents, pass on this car. If you value high-technology and eco-friendly, jump in the pool, the water's fine.

We bought a 2007 Prius a month ago, and I've been the primary driver so far. This review will focus on my experience, what I like and what I don't like. I won't give a laundry list of standard Prius features, you can find those anywhere. This site is ...

It's peppy, if a little odd looking.

by mistsy
Jun 12 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: It's the best I've tried.
Cons: Kind of small.
The Bottom Line: It's a nice compact car, but I'm not convinced.

Of the hybrids currently available, the Prius is my top choice. I don't really like it though. Let's see why. First the good. The car gets great gas mileage as a hybrid should, but doesn't always. Sometimes the hybrid technology is used to ...

by lisa95136
Aug 12 '07 - Updated Aug 24 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great mileage, incredibly roomy for compact, cool futuristic console, large GPS touch screen, truly keyless
Cons: No rearview mirror defrost or sunroof options available, onboard GPS more expensive than portable systems
The Bottom Line: For its class, excellent choice as is comfortable, minimal road noise, the best mileage around, very roomy, and all the little extras you could want

In a nutshell - I love my Prius, which I've owned for 6 months now. Mine is fully loaded, since I wanted GPS and leather, and those options mean a full package. I haven't regretted the decision once however. The options are very reasonably priced ...

Pros: Build quality, room, interior design, unique styling, and functional technology
Cons: Real world fuel economy lower than advertised
The Bottom Line: The Prius has a lot to offer. It's a great vehicle for a small family or frequent commute. It offers great safety features, comfortable seats, and excellent fuel economy.

Introduction The only way I would've given up my Audi A4 with turbo, all wheel drive, curtain air bags, and black leather w/heated seats, was if something really, really attractive that I couldn't live without came knocking at my door ... ...

Background I'm getting married soon and wanted to upgrade my car as we plan to remain a car household (I take public transit to work). I was in a good position to sell my low mileage 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8S for just about what I owed for it since ...

What a Family Car should be

by peterbez
Feb 07 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fuel economy, seat comfort, well rounded, and did I mention fuel economy?
Cons: Steering wheel, rear head room.
The Bottom Line: This is a decent mid sized car with great fuel economy that is surprisingly cheap.

It's car shuffle time. We own an Echo and a Sienna, both with over 100,000 miles on them. The Echo became the family car, because of it's relative roominess, fuel economy, and awe inspiring reliability. We bought a Prius to inject a little new blood into ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Environmental footprint, fuel economy, long-leg comfort
Cons: Reverse gear beep, center console
The Bottom Line: Buy one. The Prius is well built, gets great gas/electric mileage, is comfortable, and is FUN.

My husband and I were thinking of buying a Prius, but were concerned with how comfortable - and economical - one would be on road trips, for we do a lot of traveling. When the need for a trip to Wyoming arose, we decided to use the opportunity to test ...

Best of the Fuel Sippers - with some comfort issues

by fshagan
Apr 18 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great fuel economy, good acceleration, relatively quiet ride and impressive quality.
Cons: Seats can be uncomfortable for some.
The Bottom Line: Consider it for fuel economy, quiet operation and added features over econoboxes, closer to a Camry than a Corolla in features.

We purchased a Prius "Package 3" in January, 2006 for MSRP of $24,044. At that time, it was hard to obtain the car, much less get a dealer to go below sticker price; buyers today may be able to shave a few hundred off sticker. Our decision to buy the ...

The Bottom Line:

Need a car that saves gas, needs little attention, and is super reliable?  Get a prius.  You could literally sell it for more than you paid if you wanted to.


In this review I will describe my experience buying and driving a New 2007 Toyota Prius pkg 3. My wife and I purchased this car new in march 2007. It now has 25,500 miles on it. We have driven it from Minneapolis to Montana, and everywhere in ...

2007 Toyota Prius

by keepitreal32
Oct 24 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Best MPG mid size car. Rush hour driving (stop and go or rolling)is free.
Cons: Could use more power when driving up mountains on an interstate at 65/70 MPH
The Bottom Line: Own one. Same same leg room as today's Camry and has the best gas mileage. Toyota reliability! Future gas is likely to be $7 pg. Hydrogen cars? Bill Gates income?

I have had this car since May 2007 and absolutely love it. I have heard and read reviews of some individuals who suggest diesel cars for less money and claim this car doesn't achieve the gas mileage claimed. Well, I am here to tell you that as for me. It ...
