2017 Toyota Prius - Review and Road Test

[@SKSTrials]

When I was a teenager, I used to watch supercar reviews. Now that I am an adult, I watch Prius reviews.

I'm a teenager, watching a Prius review, and hating every bit of it.

[@TheInfiniteNine]

+Moby Buckwald reading it alone kills my boner

[@richardmartinez1628]

I never thought I'd say it but I test drove this car yesterday and was very impressed. So much that I'll be getting one this week. It's really not that bad but this is coming from a guy who has driven an "05" XB for the past 10 years. It may not be the prettiest car on the road but it's affordable and will get you where you need to go. Be safe and considerate out there people.

[@sherifmohsen1974]

Can I buy your xB?

[@Wj33333]

Well how do you like it after 5 years?

[@theunmaskedninja]

Unpopular opinion: I actually like this design, it's a breather from the previous and boring designs

[@MrAndreCoutinho]

It's a shocking new design that grows on you, but I agree that the back could be a bit better.

[@ryann207]

Looks like a 4th grader drew this car

[@akzebraminer]

theunmaskedninja my mom thinks that too, but I'm one of the one who think that it looks like feces

[@huechang7101]

theunmaskedninja The opinion isn't unpopular at all

[@seiyafurukawa8942]

At first I thought this design was ugly af, but it actually looked cool when I actually saw it in the road.

[@JackoBanon1]

I saw it in a bright blue color and it really looks unique and cool.

[@Randze]

As they say! You gotta look at it before you see it. It's just me that says that lol.

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

[@LouieTheAnimated]

I was recently in a car accident, I was rear-ended and I had the 2014 Prius C. I'm a practical guy and I have a long commute, so the Prius is the car for me. I got a rental (Nissan Sentra), and I've had it for 1 week, and I've already spent more than $80 on gas. It helped my decision to continue with the Prius (I've always liked it anyway), but also go with the standard Prius as opposed to the C which is the smaller one. The accident really affected my decision. And since Prius/Toyota don't depreciate as fast as other cars, I'm getting a pre-owned 2017. This review definitely assured me that I've made the right decision for myself.

[@ivalkyriei5440]

Don't get why people hate Prius. It is a great car and fuel efficient if you want to buy more gas go right ahead.

[@andrewb8526]

It's ugly.

[@johnthegreek7356]

1 it's hideous 2 it hurts the environment while being made 3 it's every petrolheads worst nightmare

[@M67v]

"it hurts the environment while being made" Doesn't every car?

[@mostlyirishcarguy8955]

yes but in this case its cons outweigh its pros

[@mostlyirishcarguy8955]

it has no functionality except driving from one place to another and it is cancer on wheels

[@eazyd34]

I had to drive my friends prius once. I couldnt even tell if I turned it on. Its so quiet.

[@ArcticTea505]

My favorite part of Prius tbh.

[@akzebraminer]

The Doofus Network Good luck driving a Tesla ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

[@ArcticTea505]

AKzebraMiner it's going to be awesome driving a Tessa!

[@ZayabelDraga13]

When i was trying it, I forgot to turn it off😂😂

[@Randze]

Yes, that's what you get from electric cars!

[@davidg4512]

I almost died at Toyotas logic with the sun visors

[@thefrenchbaldeagle3138]

HappyListener50 this here is what we call a joke if you can't understand that you may need to see a doctor sweety

[@alexbalansay]

I assumed that sunglasses were the simple solution ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ at least here in CA (where the review was filmed, too) it just makes sense to carry a pair in your car. I guess the heat from the sun can still be an issue, though.

[@sparra3819]

....... and the jerky brakes

[@samtoo2010]

got a chance to drive one today. what an amazing car!! bad image is totally gone now. i want one!!!

[@DillyPickle]

My mom owns one and I drive it occasionally. I dont know why people hate on it so much. In SoCal, when will you ever have to drive 0-60 in 2.3 seconds in traffic? And gas efficiency is really good, ours averaged to around 54 mpg so we save quite a bit. And it's roomy so you can drive people comfortably and carry a bunch of stuff in the back.

[@TimothyNeu1986]

Unpopular Opinion: I actually like this version of the Prius. I now wait to have stones thrown at me.

[@gyula6516]

Timothy Neu I do not like it but I will save your lives XD

[@M67v]

You're not alone.

[@kinglouie7116]

Timothy Neu and she will

[@Alpha_Omega-du9ml]

Timothy Neu better than the older versions for sure

[@onebell7107]

Imean... looks aside, it's undeniably the greatest Prius of all time.

[@harlemner]

I drive my prius like maniac.

[@entropy8000]

All prius owners drive like maniacs. Just like BMW owners lane change with no indication.

[@harlemner]

Nah I don't do that I always signal to take a lane. I might be a menace driving but not putting blinkers on when turning is one thing I don't do.

[@alexs1429]

Same, I usually try to not piss people off, but I don't fall in the "slow Prius driver" category,

[@MayUrMirWanI]

I just love its design

[@MayUrMirWanI]

HappyListener50 :)

[@Healthytruth]

Love my Prius . Averaging 60 miles a gallon on my 2017 Prius

[@silvanapopa]

As my friend pointed out, you're embarrassed to be seen getting in or out of the Prius, but feel good while inside. Just like a brothel

[@maplefreak64]

Every time the latest was sold, Prius criticized the design severely. 4 generation Prius would also be got used to seeing immediately. An important thing should know the performance to have evolved remarkably.

[@rrttyy11229]

AWESOME I got one in white exterior and black interior with some white touch ups. Lovin it! I see supercarsuspects crashing and I never saw a Prius crashed and that gear shifter was awesome. BOOYAH Prius is now the king

[@alierikenoglu8006]

I & my wife both own 2006 Prius'. Going on 12 years and a combined 330K miles, both cars are flawless and unbelievably cheap to own, maintain and operate. Although I find the styling of the new (regular) Prius beyond confusing (the 'plug-in" much more attractive)... I suspect the build quality and engineering to be the best on the planet... The other hybrids don't compare IMHO :)

[@JeffBazell]

I had a prius ('07) and loved it. I love the '17 even more. I'm trying to convince the husband to let me get one. Didn't quite understand your dissatisfaction with the brakes, tho.

[@aycaz856]

Jeff Bazell I'm so sorry for you

[@Sergei__v]

I saw it on the streets of Chicago the other day. It peaked my curiosity enough to check out this review. I like it. The design is quite bold and stylish - new civic is also bold in design

[@deletedaccount966]

I got to say, when I saw it online, at first I thought it looked trash but after seeing it by myself in the street, I found it very beautiful. My only complain in the interior instrument panel.

[@milkman1944]

At 2:20, they're called an armrest for a reason, maybe if they were elbow rests they would have more cushion.

[@johnnixon3570]

Had one for two months, really pleased, love the styling inside and out, v good fuel consumption 70- 80 mpg and surprisingly quick. Delighted with it.

[@superatama]

Prius in Japan is considered a premium, cool car!

[@Nouvellecosse]

I wasn't sure about the styling at first but now I absolutely love it! It looks like a vicious demon, especially in red. Which of course is ugly, but in a cool badass way.

[@youmongrel]

I'll say it. You guys do great reviews.

[@killerkram1337]

I love this car, bought one for my wife and we both like the tail lights, so weird and cool and different. All the beeping is kind of annoying but we are getting 65 mpg currently and there's nothing like going to the gas station every other month. Now excuse me while I wait for my Tesla 3 =)

[@aaronster]

How are you liking your M3?

[@agc3168]

Toyota's designing has gone bananas

[@rondamon8004]

[@supersabrosinho]

[@rickboucher2476]

Great review! We stole a 2017 Prius 2 (basic package) from our local Toyota dealer a few days ago for $21K so still having fun learning what our first-ever Hybrid can do. YES the visor DOES suck! And that annoying backup beep makes me want to put on a hard hat. I don't know why you don't like the brakes..they are better than the brakes in my Tundra. She just went over 105 miles yet my fuel gauge still shows totally full. (11 gallon gas tank means I can go around 600 miles before filling up.)

[@robb.675]

I'm with the video. The sun visors should extend when they're on the side of the door. But, beyond that, it's a good car.

[@AW4WAL]

I like it...

[@juxtagenesis631]

+Aaron Walker I do too, in a weird way.

[@billplaschka9279]

Aaron Walker - it certainly grows on you. I have test drove one twice, and am contemplating getting one, as it is far better dynamically than they ever were in the past.

[@aayonce4]

Yeah it looks great! Put some nice rims on it and it'll be good to go

After 10 years with a Prius, I got tired of looking at total digital information on the dashboard. I traded the latest one in for a 2016 RAV4 Hybrid. I like the dashboard much better. 7 inch's of ground clearance is also sweet!

[@richardmartinez1628]

My girlfriend had a Honda Element. Hated it at first when it came out. That thing was my Scion XB on steroids. It was a great car that helped us out a couple times while moving but it is the reason I'll NEVER buy a car with high ground clearance. Some asshole came a long, went under the car and hacked off the catalytic converter. It costs $1200.00 to fix.

My big gripe with the current Prius: it's just *WAY* overstyled, literally to the point of ugliness. At least Honda got it right with the 2019 Insight, which actually looks nice (mostly because they took the current Civic sedan design and toned down the front and rear end design).

[@holasoyorlando]

How much the battery last? Replacement Costs?

[@CarlosChism]

While it varies slightly from model to model, the vast majority of batteries for the gen 2 prius and subsequent generations last for the entire life of the vehicle. If the battery does fail in the first 100,000 miles (or first 150,000 if your state adheres to the california EPA regulations), then the replacement cost is covered. If not, I've seen costs at about $3,000. But really, if you do your research, you will see very few reports of batteries failing, and if they do, many of them are well past 200,000 miles.

[@sherifmohsen1974]

Actually, if you buy from Toyota they will give you core return on the old one which, last I checked, was almost a thousand bucks! That said, if you search on eBay you will see there are also aftermarket (non-Toyota) batteries for sale. Also when the battery "dies" it is usually just one or two cells, which you can also buy online and swap with your dead ones.
