2005 Toyota Prius Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by wired

Fuel economy

Average mid 40's while driving fairly aggressively with the highest at 60mpg (hypermiling)

Quietness

A fair amount of road noise in the cabin while on the freeway. Definitely annoying.

Reliability & durability

140,000 miles and in the shop once for a leaky axle seal. this car has spoiled me with it's reliability. The only thing not original on the car is the third set of tires, plug wires and serpentine bely (replaced @120K). Original brakes, battery

Driving position & visibility

The reason I will not buy another Prius - comfort. I am 6'2" and 250# and this is one of the most uncomfortable cars I have ever driven. Particularly, not enough leg room.
