2006 Toyota Prius from North America - Comments

The car had its first change oil at 5,000 miles, no problem experienced. The car is in exceptional shape and condition.

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.

Is this an add for Toyota? Doesn't look like a review! to me. And I still try to figure out... Where this guy lived for the last 20 years... Key-less entry?! It wasn't invented by Toyota. I presume also that this is your first ever car.

Re the above comment: the reviewer is talking about Toyota's Smart Key system, which is an option on the Prius, over and above the regular keyless entry which is standard.

With the Smart Key system, you don't even have to take the remote transmitter out of your pocket or purse or whatever; when you get within several feet of the car, the interior lights come on and as soon as you touch the door handle, the door unlocks. Then when you get inside, you simply start the car by pressing the start button, while all this time the remote transmitter stays in your pocket. You don't have to use a key at all.

Maybe next time you should do a little research before posting critical comments...

I have recently, 2 months, purchased a 2007 Prius. Having owned 6 cars in my lifetime, this is an exceptional vehicle. I find that people who are critical of this car are clueless as to how much superior to other vehicles. So while your critizing think of this. This car emits nothing into the air and I'm averaging 57 MPG. How is your car??
