2006 Toyota Prius review from North America
"The car is a good choice to buy and people envy a lot"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had its first change oil at 5,000 miles, no problem experienced. The car is in exceptional shape and condition.
General comments?
At first glance, the car was appealing, the green color was attractive, the tail lights were modern and impressively designed. They are LED crystal lights and look very clean. The spoilers in the back also added to its appeal. The headlamps also were also to my taste. It is high tech.
The inside was refined too. The center console had a monitor for air-condition control, radio, and camera for backing up. the speedometer
is digital.
The key-less entry and push button start is a very good feature. I do not need to stick the key in the door to get in the car and into the ignition to start the car, it automatically recognizes me within three feet from the car.
There is also plenty of room in the cabin, lots of storage spaces, and cup holders.
Take off is average, but the car is responsive to drive.
The best part is being able to use the carpool lane by myself with a big smile when passing the congested traffic.
