I actually like this car and admire it *_for what it is._* This car gets you where you need/want to go safely, comfortably, reliably, and efficiently. The Prius does exactly what it was designed to do, and it does it very well.
I don't get people that say "It's not fast!" or "I'd rather walk..." or "I'd be embarrassed to drive that." Why?? Are you getting a car for *YOU,* or are you getting a car to impress your friends?
You'd "rather walk"? Well, have fun walking. Good luck!
"It's not fast", you say? Who cares! That's like driving a Suburban and saying "It's not fuel efficient!!" Keen observation, Sherlock!!
Sure, I like sports cars, exotic super cars, even normal cars; But for what the Prius is designed for, I like it too.
The Prius for its appliance-like dullness at least has character. Its a unique driving experience and it accomplishes its goal well. I'd much rather drive a prius than any of these generic crossovers.

Just tell them this:
“Yeah, I bet your damn WALK has air conditioning, a chair and a nice sound, eh?”

Don't knock until you try it. Drove one for a job I used to have. 3 years later I'm driving around in one. My first car was a 1971 Ranchero GT
Nice!!
I have a 2016 model. I like it. It's safe, reliable and great on gas. You really can't ask for much more.

My parents are gonna buy me this car as my graduation gift..I'm so excited
so exited for a prius really why not a camry optima or something like that not a shitty prius yuck
Don't listen to these haters, a car's a car and the Prius does a great job of doing things.
That's what I mean. I myself own the Ford Focus Electric and love it. It saves me money, I get a nice drive, and obviously I get to go places easily. A car is a car after all, we aren't race car drivers after all.
+Dawson Bloodworth You really hate the Prius. Why not have a Sequoia for your huge dumb ass. 😑
Tony Plenos I'm sorry.
They could've atleast got you a Camry or corolla for that madder
unbelievable chassis. ferocious power, and killer looks. this car has it all.
Like the sarcasm.
+Veyronp87 thank you
said no one ever
+A Toyota Prius u r ugly as my butt
Veyronp87 well they've sold a hell of a lot of them, and the owners are very happy, so must be doing something right.
You drive that prius like a prius
😂😂
Could you imagine living next to a whole foods market and hearing that beeping all day long?
that is me !!!!! LOL
I don’t care what anyone says, I love this car.

I love the car, not because I want to protect the environment, but because I just like how the engine and the e-battery are combined. I also don't care what anyone says, I LOVE IT!
1:18 *intense 10mph action*
Y'know my moms 2015 Corolla which is rated for 28 city averages about 22 where I live because of just sitting at red lights for 8/10 of your commute. A car like this makes damn good sense with how spacious and reliable it is on top of easily getting over 50 city.
It should still get 28
Hey, ill be honest, I'm glad he did drive it because even though its not the ultimate drivers car, its a cool one most people haven't driven

THanks for the nice ride as always....
This is good ASMR
You little kids don't realize the importance of this car. If it wasn't by this, we wouldn't have any of the hybrid supercars of today. The Prius isn't meant to be a sports/fun car. Hell, at first I thought it shouldn't even be classified as a car. It's a rolling computer with 2 engines and 4 wheels. Now every brand NEEDS a hybrid in its lineup.
+MisakiLeasim liberal
Just st a smart person.
That doesn't make it any less ugly. Also, the honda insight was first.
That's exactly why I bought my 2003 1st gen Prius! It's essentially a PC on wheels, and its an awesome little fuel-efficient car! To all the haters who say the Prius is slow, 253 lb-ft of torque (that's more than an '03 Acura TL-S) is not too shabby, especially when it's available right at 0 rpm. To those who say "the Prius isn't fun", watching the delightfully early-2000s displays and hypermiling is kind of fun, and so is punching it and feeling the instant torque.
Kai Spencer They don’t know anything about cars then lol
The sound of the door opening and closing was amazing
Prius is number one for me. Its very reliable,comfortable,smooth,power full, and great gas milage. Before I get prius I don't like the style and the concept of hybrid car but after I tried it all car should be hybrid this time I am done driving unhybrid car anymore its westing money
Big love for your channel ! Keep up the great work.
Hes such a good driver, this is oddly satisfying lol
Nice. Such a smooth ride in the Prius.
I thought I was gonna have to buy new headphones after hearing this monster accelerate
0:43 best steering ever 10/10 would smoke Porsche
😂😂😂 someone that said that
😂😂😂😂
Some cars are the same but not hyper cars
5:03 almost gave me a heart attack
😂😂
Little do people know the Prius has is quality engineered with a drag coefficent of .25 which is less than a Nissan GTR. This car gets such a bad rap but who knows what the state of our atmosphere is going to be by 2030..
Umm do you work at toyota?
This is my favorite version of this Prius :D
I really like this car. Honestly I do. (prepared to get hate from 'car enthusuiasts')
doodlemonoply smh
doodlemonoply I am with you, alot of the haters here are performance car enthusiast. This is not a car from them, not everyone wants a performance car which tend be expensive to run and maintain even though they are BLAST to drive. This car is for people want something that is low mantainence, comfortable, roomy and get great joy out of get the most mpg.
I am a big car enthusiast.... I love lamborghinis and amgs and stuff but honestly, I genuinely love Prius(s) a lot!! it is one of the most practical cars I have seen in my life... Low running cost, good fuel efficiency and decent space. All I think is that Toyota could had improved their dashboard design, which they did in the 2017 model
A. Ayush good because car enthusiasts don’t hate on other cars

Nice video, thanks!
absolute best video on Prius! TY. I pick mine up Thursday a Persona 2015. Does not look or sound like the slug rattle trap many describe. SMH.
OMG I love this Toyota Prius
Good car to A to B I need this...
0:41 bro damn near crashed the whip 😂
I cant see why people say the prius is ugly, it looks good for me, and come on, the interior is really pretty, i think its more like how its a hybrid car then everybode say its ulgy. its a pretty car.
IgorParra I
I agree
It steers well
Screw Ferrari's this is a piece of art.
shithead
+Dawson Bloodworth he was joking he did'nt mean it.
No he meant it. Ferrari is lame! any Italian car is especially fiat. Italy is only good for their pizza and spaghetti.
I’m kind of a big fan of hybrid vehicles and I think this is the perfect one
Yep indeed hybrid cars are great
What do you think about the newest Prius?
gliding thru the air and the road with a priussssss ohhh
so damn amazinggggg
They need to make a hybrid f150 that would definitely be perfect for me
They just did!
With 700 miles of range!!
Just did
welp-
You should have asked for somethung else
Good car
This is my absolute favorite car
Thanks for this vid man, I actually also searched for a dude driving a car randomally just for my driving lessons lol.
It's so satisfying 😍😍
I hope to one day be able to own one of these just for the hell of it. After of course PT Cruiser ;)
The steering looks unbelievably light
It is, but who cares?
The Prius is not THE WORST car you can drive. Ever drove a chevy cobalt, mitsubishi mirage, nissan versa, dodge avenger/chrysler sebring/200? Those are absolutely horrible.
2007-2014. The current 200 is good, the previous one is something to be ashamed of driving.
You ever driven a Nissan Wingroad? Now THAT is a crap car.
Dodge avenger is probably equally as bad as this car 😂
My dad has this, awesome car
What about now? Is it still good? I Wanna buy prius (2014-16)
Prius 2 or 3? Wich one is better and more comfort?
My favorite one.
Yes. Ay. Do
When im 17 imma buy this vehicle💯
JUANA its an huge car to start of with, i would recommend an yaris hybrid
roblox fan nah I started at 16 w it
Nice Pic From Totally Spies! I Luv That Show Actually :D
Needs some slicks and off to the circuit with it. :p
Hey winding road... u forgot to wear ur brown watch!!
My friend use to have one. They hit a leaf one day. Completely totaled the car.
+Bobby0345 A Nissan Leaf or a leaf from a tree? :P
+Bobby0345 But did it leaf a like?
good
and began the romance...
Weird. These are some of the safest cars on the road.
I love the toyota prius cars but im only 17 and i really wish i could own one of those.
haters gonna hate
no it’s just really ugly
@@joshuac2391 It looks beautiful, what??
Nothing is definitively ugly, It is all personal preference. Personally, I don't find it that ugly. Either way though, It's not meant to look pretty. It has the best aerodynamics without the high price of aerodynamic cars because they didn't have to put as much thought into appeareace. I appreciate that, I want to use my car for practical purposes. Not brag about it. If it does everything that it needs to do, while being VERY cheap on gas, having very low maintenance, and lasting 300k miles. I'm in for it!
@@joshuac2391 who cares if it’s ugly it’s functional
@@joshuac2391 isnt ugly, is beautiful!!
Thats the car of my dreams
If I wasn’t afraid of being made fun of for owning one in high school, I’d definitely buy it for its reliability and gas savings.
Interesting, so you let other people predict your lifestyle choices?! Wow! 😂 😆
@@WuBloodKin09 Seriously, sometimes it's more than just the peer pressure. Being made fun of constantly for something can really stress you out and reduce your performance in both school and life in general. Not only that, but I live in a highly anti-ecofriendly area where I am likely to be coal rolled or have my car vandalized if I were to drive a Prius.
It's actually pretty cool. If you're a good driver the 3rd and 4 the gen handle pretty well on curvy roads. I out drove a Veloster in mine.
Where are the winding roads ?
Is your steeringwheel a littlebit to the right? Looks not straigt
THE REAL SPORT CAR
Mine is a luxury to drive. It’s a 2013 and I don’t see how everyone who owns a car doesn’t own a Prius, or at least a Prius.
my favorite car. simple, and worth it for me...
I like the old one better than the new one honestly
Rin M. Same, the one he is driving is my fav
@@robloxfan4271 I own a 2013 model which is gen 3 the same as he drove . is the new one not good as old one ?
@@mos.f5810 in general it's a better car but a lot of people dislike its look.
very good.
Do the shifter paddles come with the upgraded version?!
Pleasant af. Lol thinking about getting a used one this year
Is it option three,four,or five?
Ok. Is it me, or is there an awful lot of wind noise at higher speeds??? Seems odd for a car that supposedly is so aerodynamic. But I know that there is butkis in the car for noise insulation, so that doesn't help. Just didn't think that it was quite this loud in there.
Please help me to decide my car,
Ford fusion hibrid or Toyota prius hibrid 🤔
Good video again ! In which country do you do all these driving tests please ?
+AZBYCX20080 United States. Mostly Michigan and California to be more specific.
+ExactlyPrecisely Thank you for your answer. Awesome driver. ;-)
Mine seems like the transmission slips, im not sure if thats how they’re suppose to drive
I’ve read that is a normal feeling with these cars.
I bought a used gen 3 prius, for almost nothing, use it as my beater daily driver, pro's low maintenance and efficiency, everything else meh, however It does give me a good reason to buy another car for the weekend warrior!
The steering wheel is so smooth
1)Cheap to buy
2)Cheap parts to repair (if needed)
3)Cheap to pay for fuel
This car has it all!
Because why would you have your instrument cluster right in front of you if you can have it 20 miles away in the middle?
Bro when applying hard brake please notify us before braking...
I really want to buy this one. But this choice for gear stick is just something that bothers me. I can see and understand why it makes peeping sound while on Reverse, but what I don't understand is why it is not like typical automatic stick that locks in place?
i used to hate the prius but now i need one.
is this thing beeping in reverse in the cabin? why? also that steering wheel looks like a space invader.
nice videp
That reverse beep must get annoying as hell after a while..

It does, luckily you can turn it off
Jack Thomson how do you turn it off?
Beats forgetting your car is in gear, this thing makes zero sound when the engine is off.
As it merged onto the interstate, I expected special effects as if it were reaching warp 1.
😢
Did you drive it voluntarily?
Does anyone?
+Bobby0345 my dad does, I've driven it and the steering is beyond lifeless and the visibility is awful, not to mention it is agonizingly slow
+ansolguge More like, can you tolerate the bordeom voluntarily.
i think at all times he was pressing the pedal down all the way
Miles Collins no
Does this Prius have a MMT (Robotic) Tranmission or a CVT one?
eCVT. No belt or pulleys.
Can you take it out on country roads to test the amazing performance
Your` havin a laugh? A widow maker in slow motion!
Was that full throttle?
I have this model Prius, I use it daily to deliver meals to home bound seniors . I drive from 200 to 300 miles a week winter and summer . My average MPG over the years is 42 plus . It is supposed to get better mileage in town but my stops are very close together . It gets even better with normal city driving. I have 1017,000 miles . Just replaced 12 volt batterie . The batterie checked ok but Some time the car wouldn't give me a ready light ( no shift ) took months to find the problem. I wasn't getting full voltage at start. The computer must see something like 13.5 volts before it will allow you to shift. Dealer didn't know this. Replaced batterie and all is well for the last month.
You will never get 13.5 volts on at 12v battery when the engine isn't running.
Wait, why do people hate this car?
There is a stereotype on both Prius drivers and how people think the Prius looks ugly. That's really about it.
@@DominicI1 oh lol that’s shallow 😂 what’s the stereotype on the drivers?
@@septbelleza1935 I know! You can figure out what the stereotype is just by briefly glancing at this raging quora thread:
www.quora.com/Why-are-Prius-drivers-so-bad?share=1
Surprised he didn’t start a multi-car pileup
Whats the top speed of a Prius?
omg I thought it would be nice to save the world, but maybe I'm not ready yet.
That's my personal car hahaha love the gas mileage
does this car only run on gas or it also had a battery in the car?
@@michaelstefanyk5532 it runs on gasoline and electricity the electricity is provided by a larger battery which is charged by the gas engine and regenerative braking at low speeds the electric motors will move the car instead of the gas engine in the 3rd generation and onwards the Prius did get a full electric mode feature but it only goes up to about 30mph or so.
So how much gasoline do you use? Like do you put gas once a month.
@@mayonesa6610 i have one and it gets 600ish miles on a full tank so it matters how much you end up driving
After watching this, I think all cops should be required to only drive Prius' when on patrol.
Nowadays in my city, they only use Prius+ for the police patrols
Hello there does this run on petrol????
best car in the world :)
Steevenoo I hope youre joking lol
@@brandondannys-menary3678 Hes not
Nice troll !
0-60 in a whopping 2 minutes!
Lmao
+Heartagram I rode a school bus (99 All American) and the 0-60 was 19 seconds with a downhill start, uphill finish.
Danger Dolan .w.
Heartagram no
blacknester This gen Prius does 0-60 in 9.8 seconds according to Toyota.
Finally! I was looking for a car that was very track oriented and scared the competition. This car must be dropping at least 500BPH. All plastic and cloth for weight reduction!
Thank you! For once you post a real drivers car, not any of that Lamborghini or Ferrari nonsense.
+richzilla08 this isn't a real driver's car. More like a real commuter appliance. It does nothing to serve a real driver
😕
It's not a real driver car...
+maximus9401 +Baron Nashor wooooshh!
+richzilla08 I think he meant that it's a car than an average person would own.
I have a prius v wagon 2017
What speed the engine turns on? Isnt it bad for the engine that there is no warm up just instant freeway speed?
It IS warming up by holding a specific load and revs.
it is my dream car
هكرت قناتك ترى ههههههههههههههه انستا b.1l_
thats a first
I think this car is kind a great for me
I want. This car
