2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Excellent for tall, long legged people - even more leg room than a Cadillac, which appears larger. My children love it! Also plenty of head room for tall people. see full Toyota Prius review |

Fold down seats and rear hatch entrance to place long cargo easily in space. HondaCivic did not have trunk access to rear seats. see full Toyota Prius review |

2009 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
No height adjustment and a bizarre seating angle. see full Toyota Prius review |
2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Seat needs more lower back support for distance driving. see full Toyota Prius review |
2008 | 4dr Hatch 76-horsepower 1.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
If you are much over 5 foot 10 inches tall, the drivers seat might get a little tight. Not much leg support either as the bottom cushion is very short. I hear the 2010 redesign helped with this. Since I use this car for not much more than an hour commute, I tolerate the seat as the rest of the car is so darn good. see full Toyota Prius review |
