Toyota Prius Hatchback (2004 - 2009) 1.5 VVTi T Spirit Hybrid 5d CVT Auto Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
This was the first hybrid car I've driven and I won't be buying another one until there are no longer any other options. It's well-built and equipped but has a number of flaws. The boot space is very small for a medium-sized hatchback, I found the touch screen system for e.g. blower fan adjustment a bit fiddly, but the worst thing was the CVT transmission; could just be a personal thing but I disliked the fact that the noise from the engine seemed to bear little correlation to your road speed or acceleration.
It's a fine choice if you need a medium sized, reliable, economical urban vehicle but I'd strongly recommend a long test drive in all road conditions before deciding whether or not it's for you!
How reliable do you find the car?
No faults but I only had it for four months.Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
I needed it for a mix of driving; it's excellent around town but I really did not enjoy driving it on the motorway, noisy acceleration and didn't feel powerful enough when joining the motorway.About their car
