2008 Toyota Prius Touring review from North America
"Excellent, would buy again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, it has been perfect so far.
General comments?
We were looking for a new car, one with excellent fuel economy and reliability.
After looking and test driving many makes and models, we decided on the Prius Touring model. The dealer did not have any in stock and could not find what we were looking for in options and color. The dealer found one on a ship that would arrive in Jacksonville, Fl in about three weeks, we agreed on a five week delivery, which came.
We really like the Prius; roomy, comfortable, great storage room. The car is used as our primary vehicle for our work commute and trips. We average 45 to 48 mpg each week. The car has been back to the dealer only for scheduled maintenance. No issues or concerns so far.
