This is how I like drive test videos. No commentary just walk arounds and sound of the car

[@yamomz668]

yes very relaxing

[@fireraid2336]

That self park was clean

[@OldDood]

When you turned the corner (Spirited Driving) @ 6:55 I saw the headlights in your Rear View Mirror. It made me chuckle thinking it could of been a Police Cruiser. 🚨 I was just wondering IF you have ever been pulled over during of of these Test Drives over the years?

[@oscarmedina7368]

That drumline was doing pretty good in their practice

[@KarateMetKevin]

Amazing 🤩

[@kemsplashmusiq745]

It’s clean 🧼

[@mohammedfares1234]

Do you want one?

[@wthutch7882]

I really hope some of the sounds are just amplified by the microphone and not actually so obnoxious in person.

[@rylans.5365]

What sounds are you referencing? The startup sounds, chimes, pedestrian warning sounds? All of which are amplified by the microphone, as more reverb and background noise is also captured. After test driving a 2023 Toyota Crown, all sounds are quiet and not obnoxious at all.

[@user-ep4wz5nk4t]

It’s not that loud I have the 23’ xle Prius it’s amazing! The microphone is def making it way louder lol

[@persxnal]

i hope the opposite 😭😭

[@harshalgarde4019]

Nice Design 👌

[@DRayL_]

A few days ago I finally was able to sit inside the new Prius. I had heard a lot of people say that they had a hard time seeing the screen over the steering wheel. So I went by the Toyota dealer to see if they had one I could sit in. They only had a used one. But I sat in it and was able to see that screen without problem, and I'm not that tall. But it did feel comfortable sitting in it. I have a 2014 with the long front windshield, so the Prius's long windshield wasn't awkward at all. The seats seemed comfortable enough. I'd have to get the limited, though, because the 8" screen on the lower trims look lacking.

[@siopowar]

So I'll have to order some sound deadening with that.

[@MohammadALzoubi-yu5fi]

i like toyota car

[@kemsplashmusiq745]

Me too bro , this is clean frl

[@Noodle_Train]

Man it parks better than me 😅

[@AngelTechno]

I knew immediately at the start of the video that a marching band was outside. I know that metronome noise from anywhere.

[@trooper_f30]

I’d be curios to see if it still gets crazy high gas mileage with all the beating on it in the vid

[@artcutor4854]

Based on all the reviews I’ve seen still the same ridiculous high mileage same old prius

[@stayphun6188]

It doesn't matter if EV, ICE or Hybrid vehicle, they don't like to get beat and consume a lot of fuel when doing that.

[@BenSussmanpro]

Expect many flats with those low-profile tires

[@Slowcarfastbeans]

How many beverages can you put on ice under the cargo mat?

[@clutchcarabelli8054]

Is it possible to make the Speedometer numbers bigger?

[@stephendelgado737]

[@ItsJJECC]

The cabin in this car is so extremely loud on the highway it sounds like your driving with all 4 windows open 😂 kinda turned me off. I wanted this car but now I’m reconsidering just off that one thing 😢

[@goinwitdaflow]

It’s probably the tire size that are used for this generation Prius. Low profile tires tend to generate more road noise. Also it might be his microphone picking up more interior/road noise than one would normally hear while driving the car in person.

[@ItsJJECC]

@@goinwitdaflow true

[@raindrops2222]

Toyota Raize 2023 please🤭🙏

[@KeyBrute]

Anyone know how to disable the close door chime?

[@user-ep4wz5nk4t]

Are you talking about child safety one? It only does off if you open back door. No getting rid of it lol

[@FlexWheeler2nd]

Big question and most important: has the cat problem been resolved?! Or will thieves still be able to cut it out easily?!

[@OldDood]

My Son owns 2022 Prius Limited and lives in Lincoln Park Chicago. He made sure he had installed a very well made Cat Shield for it.

[@Slowcarfastbeans]

Toyota sells a guard as a factory option.

[@user-ep4wz5nk4t]

You can buy a cat cover I bought one for mine! It’s an additional $320. This has lower ground clearance too!

Bullying worked

[@MrCarGuy]

Pretty loud on the highway

[@user-ep4wz5nk4t]

Not his mic picks it up louder than it really is.

[@thedarkgreenvanman]

I hate the sound’s it makes, the blinkers especially

[@rylans.5365]

Y’all find something to nitpick every time a car is test driven don’t you? All cars have a signature blinker sound.

[@tridentmediaprod]

is it phev or just mhev

[@chibbyylol]

Unless it's the 'Prime' it'll be a regular hybrid

[@rylans.5365]

This specific model is the 2023 Prius Limited, which is a hybrid model. All Prius models are hybrids unless specified with the “Prime” badging, which makes it a plug-in hybrid vehicle. The Prius is not offered in mild hybrid power trains.

[@point4894]

I HATE LIMITED WITH BIG WHEELS! LE much better because it has small wheels

[@robvdrdp]

First

[@santi.merida]

where is the spare wheel?

[@lopez12345ml]

At the dealership for you to purchase

[@santi.merida]

@@lopez12345ml and does it fit in the trunk? or where do you have to keep it?

[@user-ep4wz5nk4t]

You have to order it separately but the car comes with an air pump and flat seal stuff! 😌

They transferred the ugliness to the steering wheel

[@evgeniyrogulev7716]

Sounds like CVT in HELL.

[@ArnoldDuo-kl2xi]

At least they won’t detonate like Nissan CVTs

[@evgeniyrogulev7716]

Hybid Voxy/Prius ZVW52L sounds good. 2023 like blender.@@ArnoldDuo-kl2xi

[@akennedystocks]

Nobody is going to buy this dinosaur ice car. Just buy the electric gold standard which is Tesla! The Tesla Model Y is the best selling car WORLDWIDE!

[@bdslade]

lmao

[@akennedystocks]

@@bdslade ? Are you a creepy person?

[@bdslade]

@@akennedystocks weird comment. Are you projecting?

[@malachi3438]

i bought one. i hated it! turned it back into the dealer then bought a high mpg ice

[@akennedystocks]

@@malachi3438 Sure why, you like to live in the past. Are you sending this message on a green rotary dial phone in your kitchen?
