    the Prius used to be one of those “love it or hate it” vehicles but now i feel like it’s good enough for everyone lol

    I'm a Japanese user.
    I also rode the previous 52 type for 5 years.
    This time, PRIME is even better.
    If you get one, I recommend downsizing it to 17 inches.
    Road noise is reduced and the EV mileage is close to 100km, making it even more impressive.

      We just got our third Prius, but, first Prime. You are correct regarding the tire/wheel size. Our 24 with the 17' set-up gives us 80+Km in EV (on average), and over 61Mpg in Hybrid Mode. On a good day, I will reach 100Km in EV Mode.

    Man. I love this prius, just sick about how that engine sounds. I really hope they're able to refine eCVT engines more in the coming years.

    Thank you for pointing out that the A Pillars block your vision. That is the one thing I have been trying to find out about this car. That is the only thing that will keep me from buying one. You are the only video I could find in my searches that commented on the visability from the front. Had a honda fit and it drove me crazy for the same reason.

    Can you go into better detail about the battery efficiency in colder weather with details such as the temp outside. I believe the miles per kilowatt is displayed on the dash.
    I’m really curious what it average MPK in colder climates when using the battery, both 40 miles of range on the highway, and 40 miles in the city is, as that’s most of my time in my area.

    Omg I am waiting for mine they say Mid March. I wanted the solar roof too but it seems like it's unavailable for NYC. The options for the Prius Prime XSE Premium in general including color options are not good. Every dealership has Guardian Grey. This is very challenging and disappointing with Toyota.

    Not sure what part of Ohio you’re in; but if you know where Dragway 42 is come out on Sunday April 7th for the first official autocross of the year. I’ll be running my ‘24 Prius le awd.

    Makes me appreciate my '21 Rav4 Prime XSE PP more. Prime is faster, more practical and comfortable and the economy isn't much worse. No FCTA. I like the looks of the Prius but my Prime excels in almost every way.

    I wish reviewers would talk about how to get in and out of the car easily because I heard it is difficult specially for taller people.

    • @TomLawlor-iq6gm
      @TomLawlor-iq6gm 9 днів тому

      I'm only 5'11" so, in my younger days, I'd of been able to slip in and out of this model slick as an ell. However, now, with chronic lower back pain and a gamey left leg I had to modify ingress and egress. No big deal; I just turn 90 Deg to the door and back down/in. Still somewhat graceful............think Corvette, or other super car. Grab one even if you are taller.

    Has anyone figured out how to permanently turn off cross traffic alert?

      It's not that loud or annoying, and if it saves you one accident it's well worth it.

    Pro tip. Do not run the EV out then drive it in gas. Ut sounds live that cause the ev battery is empty. Fun battery. And bybrid mode is the best way to run the car. Running the bat down then running gas is a marketing gimmick.

  • @q5go84q
    @q5go84q 5 місяців тому

    Battery lasts for 28 miles. It's roughly $2 with 50mpg. It's $3000-4000 more expensive than non-Prime. It will take you 10-15 years to make up for the premium if you drive more than 28 miles every single day of the year. Its has worse mpg than non-Prime, less baggae area. This is bad deal.

    • @mrxman581
      @mrxman581 3 місяці тому

      No, the EV range is from 40-44 miles depending on the trim level. I have the top trim and my EV range has gone up in the 6 months I've had it. It went from 39 to 41 miles.
      I live in SoCal so gas is more expensive here. Lastly, it's not just about not using gas, but not polluting the environment too. In the 6 months I've had my car, I've only put $35 in it. It's a great car. I love driving it in EV mode. BTW, I paid MSRP.

    • @user-pc3xb4hd8i
      @user-pc3xb4hd8i 2 місяці тому

      It’s also about liking a car not just money. People pay ridiculous amounts of money for cars they like every day.

    • @TomLawlor-iq6gm
      @TomLawlor-iq6gm 16 днів тому

      Not so. Our 24 Prime delivers 80Km (50m)on a charge. It costs us about $ $1.94 to charge it from "empty" but
      here, gas runs about $7.00 per gallon. Do the math. Also, we qualified for the $5,000 rebate, that eliminated the extra cost of a Prime. We've had the thing for near three months and have still not opened the gas cap and, the tank is not empty.....................This is a good deal.
