Reviews of the 2008 Toyota Prius
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2008 Toyota Prius has an iconic shape that will only be confused with other Priuses. Gas mileage and the emissions rating are extraordinarily good for a car of this size.
The Bad: As the current model is at the end of its cycle, the cabin tech is dated, lacking any advanced features. The handling doesn't impress.
The Bottom Line: Although still a fuel economy champion, the 2008 Toyota Prius is about to be replaced by a new generation that should be better in every way. The car is a great commuter, but wait for the 2010 model.
