| 2010 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.7L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | better bang/buck ratio than Honda, Hyundai, Mazda (no North American brands were considered) |
| Price of the Toyota Venza: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 182-horsepower 2.7L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD | Base 4-cylinder price was much higher than the mid-level Equinox LT. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Toyota Prius
| Price of the Toyota Prius: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | The prius is not very expensive compared to other hybrids, in fuel or maintenance costs. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | Cheaper than the Mini |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | Price was a good value |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | It was a previously owned vehicle that was offered at a very good price |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | I felt that the cost was reasonable given the technology. In addition, there was a total of $4000 in government tax rebates that lessened the cost of ownership a great deal. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | $25k out the door price. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | We have a private loan and we are paying if off as fast as we can. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | I bought the car used. Excellent deal. |
| Price of the Toyota Prius: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | Getting any hybrid new in 2010 for 21k was not a bad deal, but Toyota broke out the Prius into several different models, and for 21k you get a pat on the back and the little paper in the floorboard. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | Several thousand more than the Insight. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | Even the low end Prius was a few thousand more than the mid-range Insight EX. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | Price is too high in this uncertain economic time. Plus I tend to keep cars 10 to 12 years. I do not want to be faced with the cost of replacing the batteries (well over $1,500) eight to ten years from now. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | Payments were 382 per month for 7 years, car not really worth it. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | There is the "hybrid premium" you pay because of the new technology, but the Prius is neither a small car not a cheap car. It is larger than a Camry inside and it is well built with tons of features not found on cars such as the Yaris, Corolla, Elantra... |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | Far too expensive for what you get. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | Its expensive, compared to other models of about the same size. It will take several years before the fuel economy pays that back. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | Was a great bargain when tax credits could defray expense (I got both federal and state credits!) |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | The car is pricy for mid size car |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | It can be pricier than similar cars of the same model year. |
| 2004 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | In Canada, there is definitely a price premium for the Prius - which is unfortunate, since it is a great car. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 70-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD | It is an expensive car, and I am hoping to drive it for 10+ years to make that investment worth it. I am a person who would more likely buy a used car rather than something new off the lot. I just got swept away by the "green" aspect of owning a Prius. |

everything seemed to be tight and well made |

Well made. |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
The Prius feels more solid and like a real car, not a go cart. |

Feels and looks like a high-quality car. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
High quality materials, high quality workmanship--at least equalling that of my last automobile (a Mercedes C230). |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Top notch quality from a Toyota product. I've bought many Toyotas over the years and this takes a back seat to none in quality. I have very little to complain about with this car. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Near-Camry fit and finish, with lots of electronic gizmos to entertain the passenger. Only omission are power seats. The leather seats are definitely more comfortable than the standard seats, glad I paid the bit extra for them, much nicer on a long dri |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
All the materials are well chosen and it is assembled very well. |

The way the car stays sharp and in perfect working order. |

Seems to be of very high quality. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
All parts align as designed. Seats and upholstery seam to be holding up well. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
The Prius is put together with great skill. Example--the little plastic bits that hold the dashboard together are coated in a silicone-like substance to prevent rattles. Attention to detail. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Quality construction throughout. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |

| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
So far have no problems and has required no extra service other than the steering recall which the dealer handled with no problems. The Prius chat site has helped in understanding some things about the vehicle. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Mid sized car with hybrid synergy drive. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Have found no flaws in assembly or workmanship at all. Advanced features of the Prius model. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Having driven a Prius over the past 5 years I can honestly testify it is as well made as any other comparable vehicle. |

Toyota quality again...absolutely Toyota high quality engineering |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Toyota Prius: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Hatch 98-horsepower 1.8L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
The plastic should be a little harder so that it wont scratch |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Key fob is critical component for starting vehicle that is sensitive to heat, movement, and breaks very easily when placed on a table. |
| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Cheap, easily damaged plastics and surfaces. |
| 2007 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Plastic underbelly pan was mangled by cross-threaded bolt during assembly. |
| 2006 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Leather seats looked saggy at less than 25,000 miles with a careful lightweight driver. Leather thin on door trim and scuffed easily. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Interior fabrics and plastics are cheap |
