Overview of the Toyota Prius

On the downside, the 2010 Toyota Prius' styling, while easily recognizable, is not considered attractive by the automotive press. Some reviewers also disliked the Prius' small wheels, which they said made the car feel unstable and contributed to road noise. Some also noted that the Prius's steering was artificial.

Toyota Prius 2010 features a four-cylinder engine and two electric motors. Power is sent to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Among the standard Prius features is a four-speaker stereo system and push-button start. Higher trim levels and option packages add features such as Bluetooth, upgraded stereo, leather trim, heated front seats, and navigation. Seven airbags, anti-lock brakes, and electronic stability control are included as standard safety equipment on the 2010 Prius.
