Toyota Prius Review Summary
"The new Prius' skin turns in a coefficient of drag of 0.26, about the lowest ever for a production car."
"All that adds up to 60 mpg city, 50 highway, not to mention Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle and Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle classifications."
"A dashboard monitor allows you to see which engine is doing the work, and how much energy is being used at any given time, among other things."
"It's roomy, with back seats that seat two adults and lots of cargo space. The fabric upholstery is as good as it gets."
"The all-new Prius is a legitimate family sedan that offers everything you would expect -- like solid build quality and refinement -- and a few things you don't -- like a base price of just $20,000."
"Lighter, lower-friction pistons, a revised combustion-chamber design, and remapped variable valve timing help increase engine power by six ponies, to 76."
What reviewers liked least about the Toyota Prius:
Toyota Prius Comparisons:
"Cargo space is 16.1 cubic feet, more than one-third larger than the 2003's 11.8 cubic feet and half again the Civic's 10.1 cubic feet and coming perilously close to the Camry's 16.7 cubic feet."
