2009 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4

The base was cheaper, but with standard features, it was about the same price as the Honda Fit.
2008 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4

The price is low, which is very appealing to younger adults like myself on a budget.

As a teenager with not a lot of money, the payments are easy to make.

You get a lot of car for the price. The ride is decent, quality materials and the Toyota name.

Lowest price in class.
2007 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4

We have a rare LOADED model with stick shift - $14,100 + tax in 2006. My sister also has a LOADED one with a similar dependability history.
2007 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Combined with the incredible fuel economy, the price makes the Yaris the best bang for the buck.
2007 2dr Hatch 106-horsepower 1.5L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
Price was the lowest.
2007 4dr Sedan 106-horsepower 1.5L I4

Price of car is very affordable; you get a lot of car for the price. Insurance is also low.

Price of the Toyota Prius: Pros

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

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

I bought the car used. Excellent deal.

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.
