The Facts on the 2010 Prius

The good: fuel economy and reliability. I have no trouble getting an average for the entire year of the EPA rated 50mpg overall. Cold weather here in Illinois messes with my fuel economy in the Winter, but the Prius makes up for it in the Summer. Plain and simple: cold makes the electric motor less efficient, forcing the gas engine to run more, which uses more fuel. Warmer weather makes the electric motor more efficient, having the opposite effect. I bought my 2010 Prius new. As of the posting of this review, it had roughly 162k miles on it, and I’ve yet to have a mechanical breakdown- so far, living up to Toyota’s reputation for reliability. Let’s not forget hatchback versatility- makes the 2010 Prius practical for everyday living. The bad: performance- pitifully slow car, designed to squeeze every inch out of a given amount of fuel, not to go fast. Braking is good, but not great. Handling is about average- certainly not an exceptional corner cutter. The 2010 Prius’s demure stature doesn’t allow big hauling jobs. The summary: dependable, practical, fuel-efficient transportation that will please penny pinchers and environmentalists alike. Just be patient when passing, and don’t try to transport massive loads of cargo.

I love my 2010 Prius

I love my 2010 Prius and have driven it on many long trips as well as around town. It gets great gas mileage and is a gem to drive. I love the hatchback and it has come in handy on many occasions. It was the first year that there was the Power Drive button for climbing hills and this makes it a better car on long drives.

Great car, but could be better.

I don't know why Toyota door seals are not truly watertight, especially in winter. Several things about the cabin layout could be improved. Windshield visors should be on sliding arms; when the sun is from the side, they're worthless.

2010 Prius? Maybe

While it seems to be a good car, we just got it back for the second time in 2 years with the same problem with the hybrid drive. Toyota has extended the warranty for this problem for 15 years, which is good that they have extended it, bad that it has happened twice in two years. They also discovered a leak in the timing cover gasket, which sounds like a small problem, but turns out to be much larger than it seems. Especially since the car has only 78000 miles with all recommended service done on it. Not a comfortable car for extended trips.

seats

our Prius is excellent on gas and is very for driving around town but on long trips I have ridden in tanks that ride better the seats are to low to the road so you get all the bonce and you cannot adjust the passengers seat like you can the driver somewhat it is not most comfort .

Expected better quality

Loved the 2020 Prius until a leaky head gasket cost us $4000 at 160,000 miles. We kept the car even so because it is so comfortable on the road. There is a lot of road noise. Don’t know why you require 200 words for this. I said what I wanted to say is 78.

Great ‘til engine broke

Our Prius is a comfortable car on trips and for general use. However, we had to have. New head gasket ($3000) at 160,000 miles. Put a dent in our economy. Plastic shields on the belly of the vehicle come loose periodically and rattle or drag on the street.

Oil Burner

All was good with vehicle until dealership completed an engine oil flush in 2019. Now vehicle burns oil. Drove 32,000 miles and oil service 8 times! Last straw at 9th visit when Toyota Service representative doubted me that "low engine oil pressure" light was activating. I caught him making comments about me to another employee so I left the dealership without the service. Another women shared that she had the similar experience and reported the event to Corporate. After owning 3 Toyotas this will be my last. Beware.

Oil Burner

Owned several Toyotas and his is the first to burn oil at 138K miles. The problems started after an engine oil flush suggested by the dealership. The delaership "company line" is this is just normal for these vehicles. Never another Toyota especially when a 20 year old Lexus RX 300 with the same amount of miles is NOT burning oil.
