Learned a number of things about my new car, thanks! - One of the features you did not mention is the "charge mode" Press and hold the HV/EV button and the gas engine will charge the traction battery. It will also decrease your MPG especially if you are not travelling at a steady higher rate so use it wisely. If you aren't going to use EV mode to make use of that power you just stored, it is a net loss. - With regard to the menus in the screen, besides pressing the menu button you can finger swipe up to show them, down to hide. - The A/C button on the fob will turn on the climate control for 10 minutes to whatever it was when you shut down so do this within 10 minutes of your planned departure time. This is the same as setting pre-departure climate control (if the car is not plugged in, the doors must be locked when using that feature). Using the button on the fob will lock the car before starting the climate control. The ICE will NOT start, this features uses heat pumps.

Just subbed. We looked at 2017 prius primes a couple days ago. The cheapest we could find was $22,000 with 55 miles. Of course, I would try to negotiate a lower price. But we decided to wait until the 2019's come out in Feb-March, then 2017's will go down more in price. We are in Los Angeles where everything's higher anyway. Enjoyed the video. Thank you
@karenkramer37605 жыл бұрын
Luxottica, that's a great price. The car salesman where we saw the Prius Prime for $22,000 called me and said they would go down to $19,500 for that same Prius Prime. I said "out the door" and he said "no." I have a feeling that one's going to auction. They'll be sorry they didn't sell it to me at that price.

@alfmeister135 жыл бұрын
I got the Premium and I prefer it because; 1. The auto sensing rear view mirror never dims enough when a big truck is behind you. I have another car with this feature and it doesn't dim enough. Flipping up the mirror is a tried and tested solution. This also makes it way cheaper to replace the front window as there aren't any wires. 2. I owned a vehicle with a heated steering wheel and I never used it. Maybe it would be nice for those living in a cold climate. One more thing to go wrong. Heated seats on the other hand, aah! 3. Rear hatch privacy cover. The soft one that comes with the premium is flexible so you can load up the rear with groceries and it doesn't interfere with closing the hatch. It's alos easy to remove and store away. The hard one is like stowing a tripod. 4. I have fog lights on my other vehicle and I never use them. I could go over all of the features but you get the idea. This ad ons are great if you will use them. I save several thousand dollars and got all of the important features that I want.

But when it comes to the Prius. I could ignore the ugly front and back, but the interior with all the white and shiny black plastic look like they are impossible to keep clean. not to mention the lack of andoid auto and voice commands. The ioniq looks so much better, does pretty much the same (minus some features) and is cheaper.
