2024 Toyota Prius - Daily Driving The AWD Hybrid

[@jakes5530]

This is enough car for like 99% of people. Efficient, decently quick, spacious hatchback, awd, reliable, good resale, sleek looking for what it is. Toyota oughta sell a ton of these.

[@jakes5530]

@ camry’s pretty long, good if you need a lot of rear legroom, but if not, the prius has a larger more practical cargo area.

[@rosestrohm7986]

b-b-but I NEED a huge suv for my family of 3 or else I wont be seen as cool

[@dyinglee7074]

@@jakes5530 The noise level is high while driving on the highway, indicating poor insulation, yet the price is comparable to that of a Camry.

[@jakes5530]

@@dyinglee7074 it’s all relative. Really depends what you drove previously. If you had a 10+ year old Toyota sedan with 200k+ miles that you’re replacing (as Toyota buyers commonly do), the new Prius will drive like a rolls royce in comparison…

[@jakes5530]

@@rosestrohm7986 nothing wrong with big SUVs, I love them. But as far as wants vs. needs, this should really do the trick for the majority of people.

never thought i would fawn over a Prius. what a time to be alive

[@BobShubin]

I had a brand new base model Prius with 37km(22miles) as a rental when I was visiting Japan and I liked it a lot. It pretty much ticked all the boxes I would want as a DD, it was very efficient and it's a nice looking car. I would consider getting one if wasn't for the 1-2 year waitlist we have up here in Canada.

[@TheUnreadableUser]

To be fair, it's a great car. There's just other options that are cheaper and quite competitive. I guess the main selling point is the hatchback style?

[@jacobt1027]

Imao For hybrids Toyotas and maybe hondas are the only options worth a damn

[@yamiibo]

its a prius what do you expect? its not supposed to be cool and flashy its supposed to help you move around the world

[@JC-PSC]

It’s the only hybrid awd hatchback. Though the cheaper civic hatchback hybrid gives a smoother and quieter drive, and is probably a better option of you don’t need awd.

[@AmericanRoads]

42 MPG is the average that I typically get in my RAV4 hybrid XSE. So yes, you are definitely driving the Prius incorrectly. You do not always have to floor the gas, you know. It is not an on-off switch.

[@iComeInPeace8]

Seems like this gen prius is weird. Plenty of reviewers and drivers in forums get low 40s in mpgs, but also plenty reporting great numbers. Feels like something is tuned incorrectly here cause the camry hasn't been this inconsistent.

[@jacobt1027]

​​@@iComeInPeace8Low numbers are probably user error. Most people are pretty stupid

[@afcgeo882]

The trouble with this car is that it’s not much cheaper, not much faster and not much more economical than the Rav4 hybrid and I would say that it’s less all of those than the CorollaCross hybrid, and both of the CUVs are MUCH more practical to own.

[@JC-PSC]

The Prius Prime is also cheaper as it gets rebates in some areas. Both the Civic hybrid and Civic hatchback hybrid are also cheaper and offer a much quieter drive.

[@lqtmn]

I'm just amazed it's no longer ugly as sin in the "look at me!!! I drive a hybrid!!!!" way

[@19hundoc47]

Still ugly inside and out. Look at that horrible steering wheel

[@bender4489]

lol i couldn't imagine being unhappy with the prius engine. its an easy first car choice for anyone. Almost 200hp is peppy.

[@mr1337R3S]

The word "peppy" was created with rocket science by CarAndDriver to try and make econo shit boxes sound quick

[@rifleslol]

@@mr1337R3S lol horsepower creep is hilarious, this prius has the same 0-60 as a $65,000 MSRP 2001 Audi A6 4.2 (to pick a random example of a V8 powered luxury cruiser).

[@mr1337R3S]

@@rifleslol 255 HP should be the bench mark for vehicles. Anyone that doesn’t drive like an NPC knows 160-200HP is dangerously slow.

Says who? Why not Priusssssesssss?

[@360milliondollars]

A Toyota that sound like it has bass... wow I was expecting tiny sound... LOL

[@GPCars27]

I agree with your fast subs list. I do like the new Prius, I wonder if a GR Corolla's engine would fit just for fun

[@19hundoc47]

Why? The GR Corolla is already automatic and AWD and just as ugly. Makes no sense

[@mikeloco5477]

25:15 that song Fr?, I remember, listening to that when I first came out 😂. Good song tho 👍

[@xFlared]

Dream track car.

[@Love2Cruise]

Perfect timing. I just made an appointment to test drive one of these today. 😂

[@TheParkerLewis]

I put Jersey Mike's at the top of my list of chain sub shops as well

[@raist315]

Firehouse above Jersey Mike's. And anyone above Jimmy John's, including Subway.

[@thegreenman2030]

Much better looking with double the horsepower as compared to my 2013 Prius three that’s still kicking. The real question is, are these just as bulletproof ?

[@RockMiach]

Love this prius. Board and Brew is a local San Diego sub chain that's just incredible. Firehouse is great, I need to try Jersey Mike's tho

[@socalpimp1974]

That engine sound is a deal breaker

[@adamek9750]

could at least add a couple inches to rear passenger height

[@EwwwwwPeople]

Guys a real deal here, consider the 17-inch wheels if you want better driving experience. Or at least make 2 test drives like I did and firured out that 19 inch wheels are freaking terrible in every way.

[@tmdwn9101]

프리우스 역사상 가장 빠르게 생겼네😅

[@willx27]

It's not so much the engine sound it's that god awful CVT hang. Sounds like driving with a slipping clutch.

[@hctim96]

The "hang" is to keep the engine in it's optimal efficiency. Saves gas and sounds like s*it..

[@LaithKhalil]

It has an eCVT which doesn't have a belt and pulley. The electric motor modulates the gear ratio in a modified planetary gear setup.

[@muffdiver4973]

[@hereticxhexen]

i would've preferred the toyota yoke steering wheel by wire

[@SixGap]

I worked at Firehouse for like 3 years. It was good when I made my own subs but sucks when someone else makes them. Around here, they run skeleton crews with inexperienced people so it takes too long and they're also greasy and mediocre.

[@martin5697]

If you dont need that much space a Corolla Hybrid should be cheaper and also fit 4 guys and some cargo

Speaking about opposite of the top trim car, would like to see Mirage video🤣

[@RdesignedSteve]

No hood struts on a $39,938 car? That's pathetic. 🙄

[@hctim96]

I guess it's a weight savings thing.. And just think!! you wont have to replace struts when the eventually die..!!

[@RdesignedSteve]

@hctim96 Struts are cheap and light. Weight savings would be negligible. 🙄

[@agamaneo643]

The sound of Prius’s 2.0L engine sounds pretty awful. It reminds me of Toyota Aqua-a hybrid car with noises combo from engine, motor, chassis….
