[@chrisdolmeth8603]

It's a car made for people who could not give less shits about cars and what they are driving, as long as it is practical, economic and reliable. The Prius jokes are fun, but just being straight up hateful and negative towards a car that is not even made for car people is just pathetic.

[@scottsherman7069]

Da Mighty Horse Well said. Although the Prius jokes do get tiring

[@maz500]

Agreed even though there's still a decent car scene for the Prius in Japan

[@theconformist2399]

Pretty much this. Have folks forgotten that some people, 'ya know, don't care about cars or driving? There are plenty of people out there who dislike driving and have little to no interest in cars whatsoever. There's nothing wrong with that. But some folks here talk about it as if it's some sort of *sin* to not be a car enthusiast. That's the equivalent of a foodie constantly calling you out for eating a mere PB&J sandwich or Mac&Cheese for lunch. Or an audiophile giving you crap for not listening to lossless codecs. Or a techie making fun of you for not knowing how to build your own machine instead of paying for a pre-built one. Not everyone shares your hobbies. People need to get over it. I *love* cars and driving. Would I buy a Prius? Maybe if it was cheaper, since it seems to be an excellent commuter car. But there are plenty of others in the market who would *love* a Prius.

[@PhonyxHack]

Fucking hero, I love driving no matter what, and imagine driving doing 86 fuking mpg!! So cheap to be happy driving its a blessing

[@sleekitwan]

Well, people like me that buy used cars still need these videos several years down the line, so thanks Matt. This is still too expensive for me, so I got a gen 3. If Toyota had said it was a phenomenal automatic transmission with a car wrapped around it, I’d have bought it ten years earlier. The ‘droning’ under hard acceleration is actually exactly the same as a normal automatic except the rpm is constant and there’s no ‘peak’ to be reached. Once you realise what Toyota has done, is to simply make the petrol engine run at about: idle; 1/4 speed; 1/2 speed; 3/4 speed; full speed; you realise it’s because petrol engines are quite poor in terms of what they offer. 80% of the energy put in, comes out as heat, you only get 20% out as power to a shaft. Petrol engines, make great boilers. The transmission has no cones, pulleys or friction faces to wear, the e-CVT is robust, not fragile and nothing like CVT at all, so it’s a misnomer really, in some ways. Doesn’t even have a ‘slush box’ or torque convertor ( sort of a liquid clutch) with its impellers. Much better. Never had an automatic that didn’t develop a fault by about 130,000 miles. This e-CVT only has an emergency clutch ‘in case’ and in normal use, there are only constantly-meshed gears. Keep changing the engine oil, every 7,000 miles max or less, keep changing the transmission fluid every 45,000 miles or less, and there isn’t too much to sweat about. This is the most reliable car probably, I ever bought. Sure, it still has to surpass my VW Passat auto 4-speed’s 193,000 miles, but that was a landmark era, before DPF’s strangled diesels. This car might fail, but it’s designed and built not to, and every indication is it’s one of the best engineered cars in the world. Original transmission idea was in Berkeley University USA, then GM bought it, then sold the patent to Toyota. It is basically a differential, as far as I can see - the three inputs/outputs are the giveaway - Motor-Generator 1, MG2, and the petrol engine, interplay to provide the final driveshaft power and speed. It’s a marvel. Take care all.

Lol in my prius 2017 on this place a 110V(1700W) socket. I bought my in Japan, Corolla

[@brianbridle951]

The bar across the rear window is exactly the right position to cover following cars headlights. My gen 2 1.5 is a little more noisy but returns 62 mpg going to Cornwall from E Anglia. My Gen3 is much quieter (other than road noise) and will do 70mpg. Both have been "bullet proof" for reliabilty They just work. Gen 2 is 10.5yrs old and battery still top notch.

[@portnuefflyer]

We got our first snowstorm of the season this morning, and i had to choose either the '99 RAV4 AWD or the 2013 PlugInPrius to make the 35 mile round trip into town and back. Road were slick, snow covered with ice under. With dedicated winter tires (Michelin IceX) traction wasn't a problem. On the drive, several single occupant full sized 4x4 pickups roared by me on the interstate, and I'm sure their drivers thought "THIS is the reason I drive a pickup truck, poor Prius driver!" I also had a 1 ton Silverado 4x4 I could have drove, 15 mpg. The RAV4 gets 25-27 mpg, the Prius got 64 mpg on the trip. Leaving several dollars in my pocket over the 1 ton, that's why i drive it. I feel like a dumb ass, not macho, driving a 1 ton flatbed just to haul my skinny ass down the road, (it only comes out of the shop to WORK, not serve as personal transportation) the Prius makes me feel like I'm getting the most bang for my driving buck.

[@runnyeggyolk6347]

Hey, E class driver here. I'm not sure if the U.K. Just got this car or what, but we've had those for a pretty long time now, and I got to rent and drive one for a couple of days, gotta say, I'm surprised! It's shockingly ugly (though not anywhere nearly as bad with the larger wheels) and everyone just kinda hates Priuses, and I understand why it's so easy to do exactly that. But it's actually quite a charming, pleasant car to drive. It's probably the best econobox I can think of all around. It's VERY easy to drive, it's quiet, comfortable, not huge but spacious enough for most situations - the perfect size for a city car, it's got a surprisingly punchy engine and it's STUPIDLY fuel efficient. I'd definitely rather pay a little extra and have a Prius than something like a Focus, a Corolla, a Mazda 3 or a Civic (which is a car I wouldn't consider any prettier than the Prius). With those cars, I don't think it REALLY matters what it looks like in the first place, you're not fooling anyone either way, everyone knows you're driving a cheap, compact econobox. Edit: I had no idea it had heated seats, that button's position.... ugh

[@TsLeng]

Jesus Christ most people who hate don't get it like you do. Since you got an e class, next time try the lexus gs450h. Should be good.

[@runnyeggyolk6347]

TsLeng Ugh, that's a sore spot for me, I REALLY like the GS, there's something about it that just feels right, I definitely prefer the interior over the one in the E Class, but objectively speaking it just doesn't ride and handle quite as well as the E Class, it's RWD only, and it doesn't come as a wagon.

[@TsLeng]

Jesus Christ apparently the GS350 (also has AWD!) which is not sold in the UK handles very well. At least according to USA based motor journos. But then , half of what motor journos say is probably shite anyway so I dunno.

[@runnyeggyolk6347]

TsLeng yeah, but AWD isn't a deal breaker for me as it's mostly just rainy where I live, but I'd rather have it than not, and it sucks that you can't get it on the the top spec model unless it's the F sport, which I didn't want (comfort is a higher priority for me, as I do A LOT of highway/city driving and I just need something to make it all a bit easier). And yeah, the GS handles really well! It's rock solid on the road, but so is the E Class. Neither of them is a barge, but if there's one thing the E Class absolutely aces, it's ride comfort. What people say about it gliding over bumps is 100% true, it's "what the fuck" level of comfortable with the optional air suspension. It's just something the GS doesn't do. Also, the Burmaster sound system!!!!!! Holy shit, it's great! Why don't car journalists EVER talk about that?! It's significantly better than the Mark Levinson one in the GS. What ultimately was a deal breaker for me though, is that it doesn't come as a station wagon. I needed a car that can carry a lot of shit and thought about getting some kind of an SUV at first, but figured that a station wagon would be enough.

[@TsLeng]

Jesus Christ it's a shame of the AWD GS can only be had on the F Sport. Not everyone wants to race around at max G force lol. And no wagon which is a shame.

[@TsLeng]

Mat needs a crash course on Toyota HSD. It has 2 motors. Not a belt CVT, and it is seamless because most of the time it is driven by one of the motors while the engine makes electricity via the other motor.

I' am totaly happy with the car. Before I had a Audi A4 diesel power from 2008. It is very cool to drive electric with the prius, and I like very much the fact it produce less polution than all other cars (except 100% electric cars). So many people dies every day because air polution... but it seems that no one thinks about it, most people want spotive cars or big fat SUV Trucks... First spotive cars cost you double the price for maybe some minutes you are faster... And think about it driving faster is more risky... Than many people think SUV is much saver that is not true they are only about 20% heavier but they have less street control than sedans... And when everybody would drive heavy cars it would be even more dangerous on streets... Spotive cars and SUV for city that's the stupity of humanity... Prius is the best car for humanity !

The Prius is an engineering marvel. I ride a BMW motorcycle for fun. I loved my Mini Cooper for the handling. I like my Ranger for hauling. And I love my Mazda5 stick shift cause it's the only minivan you can get with a stick shift. But my 06 Prius is probably the best car I ever had. First maintenance (other than oil, tires, and some tail light bulbs), was at 182 thousand miles! That's right. At 182K, I finally spent $220. For front brake pads, and had the serpentine belt replaced. That, while enjoying the savings of 50 mpg. It's not the zero to sixty that is impressive, or the feel of the manual transmission, or the sound of a V8. It's the beauty of well engineered reliability and fuel economy. And I get enthusiastic about that. My motorcycle is more fun, but burns more gas than my car!

Hmm, looks like UK is missing some bits here and there. I got the Prius and it come with lithium battery, which is more efficient and can hold more charge as well as recharge faster, not to mention weights less than the nickel one. It has a two step false floor in the boot which eliminates the ridge of the rear seats as well as a 12V socket. Oh the ISO fix covers are attached unlike the ones in this Prius. Also for tires I suggest the Dunlop Sport BluResponse 195/65 R15, they are soft and can absorb tiny bumps as well as quite.

[@akzebraminer]

Dimitris Kepenos I think you have a plug in hybrid

[@dimitris.p.kepenos]

No. It's the standard, when I went to the dealer I asked if it was possible to get the car with lithium battery and certain options that weren't shown on the Toyota site. Surprising it was possible to make a special order, it took four months to arrive. If I were to order a Prius like the one shown in the site (plus the options) it was available within a month. For example; The "ready" Prius didn't have the false floor, the lithium battery, Pitch & Bounce control, Illuminated side steps and four other things.

Leonardus Giovanno Not that hideous shit-box!

[@StephenButlerOne]

Leonardus Giovanno don't insult the multipla. At least that was a decent (honest) car that could fit 6 in. And was that ugly, it was sort of decent looking. A bigger set of wheels with LP tyres, would help this out somewhat.

The droppable divider between the cup holders is to accommodate the handle of a coffee cup though I think it's a little gimmicky as just leaving it out wouldn't change how they function

[@clopez379]

I actually LOVE this version body style. Looks dope!

[@tomxavier2920]

We had three Prius cars, the HV batteries failed in two of them at around 180k kms or about 110k miles. Any money we saved on fuel costs was given back to Toyota when we had to buy two new batteries. I was Toyotas biggest fan but I would never buy another one now..ever. We sold the last remaining Prius soon after.

[@MT-nt7qc]

I think this prius looks beautiful. Don;t know why people think it looks ugly.

[@sanatanainfiniti4239]

Good review with bit humor here and there. Covers all the topics one may look into a review.

Adjustable middle part of cup holders... I mean I am not an expert, but some cups have handles! Japanese think about everything. Which is nice, I like that attention to details.

[@riantidownload4044]

The no.1 best seller car model in japan

[@TsLeng]

Rianti Download for a good reason. And Mongolians love it too used from Japan. That's for a reason too. It's not to impress imaginary people but because it's a very good car. An excellent car. A car to drive efficiently and reliably, in comfort.

The adjustable bit between the cup holders is for the handle of a cup to fit in snugly.

[@SuperCMTR]

I don’t see why everyone hates this car, it looks good (better than the old Prius) it drives good, it’s good for the environment, and it’s just a car that people waste their time on hating. Overall it gets the job done and it doesn’t deserve all the hate it gets

LOVELY CAR!

WHY haven't you done a 2020 "Prius Prime" review?

[@REgamesplayer]

Why everyone mentions looks as a negative? I was attracted to this car due to looks. It is beautiful car.

[@prateeksabharwal1]

2:18 Why do you always complaint about the ridge in the boot? Can't one just load the luggage through the side doors?

[@Thankz4sharing]

One can, but only with difficulty when parked in a narrow garage or other tight spot. So some will be bothered, but others won't. De gustibus, etc.

[@prateeksabharwal1]

Thankz4sharing Good point

[@Nick19s]

You should move the ni-me hydride batteries to the pros. They have a smaller negative effect on the enviroment to produce/recycle. Also deals better with the temperature changes.

You may have been a bit too heavy with the brakes at 5:20 Matt because you can see the emergency hazard lights flash when you brake

[@tubster01]

Matt stole a Prius from an Uber driver, report him to the police! XD

[@leannepagano772]

One of my problems is that the public transport Covid-19 is not being used but due to the financial crisis it is not possible to buy a new car now. Old cars are terrible again because it is often seen that many people get damaged while buying a used car

[@susiebradley7001]

@Suzanne Duncan maybe I have a solution for you a few days ago I have heard about a website confidentcarbuyer where you can find used but like new car perhaps I think it will be more helpful for you I strongly recommend you to visit the site, hope that you will find a better solution for your problem

[@leannepagano772]

@Suzanne Duncan on this web portal, there are many videos about buying used cars and engine conditions and also many items... This is just compact and free also..

that statement dosent apply to the prius

[@awfullygenericname6783]

And that’s why my friend bought a Prius C.

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

It has to look like a shed so they can hide all the hybrid gear away under the floor. That's why the headroom in the back is so poor for such a large car.

[@GAMEVIDSnorwegian422]

i got the 3rd gen prius (2009-2015) and its honestly not a bad car... the 2009 version came standard with features not even some new cars today comes standard with. For example head up display and parking assistant. I love it as a town car if that makes sense, it got more then enough power as a city car. Enough to piss people off atleast lol. The reaction time of the older prius is amazing, just triggering "car guys" behind me with full throttle. Its good with acceleration until u reach like 80kmh... everything after 80kmh takes hours... thats why 0-100kmh is like 10 seconds (9 in some countries) i dont like it as a highway car just cause it dont got power enough to speed up fast for an overtake. And the tirenoise is ridiculous...

[@bwamo2430]

I don't really find this car ugly, I think it's modern and futuristic and I kind of like it.

[@BasilBear]

Cheers Mat, a great mix of useful info and zany antics.

If only he was given a top model Prime. So much more tech and much better interior. I have a 08 Touring. I do 4000 miles/ month on a college student budget. Love it. Though the styling takes a bit to appreciate

[@JasonChamberlain]

He’s getting like over 80mpg there which is kind of phenomenal. All other review sites rate it in and around 50mpg. What did he do differently?

[@KZSoze]

Jason Chamberlain I’ve had one two years. When I drive it horribly and aggressively I get 50. I can get between 60-70 easily if you just drive with economy in mind and utilize the displays that help.

[@melcanuck5951]

Not keen on the styling... but good review Mat, as usual.... Think I would prefer an Avensis Hybrid to this... (seems like every Toyota model gets a hybrid except the Avensis)

[@crebegea]

I quite like the instrumentation. The center dash works really well in this case. Very laggy Navi system, almost unusable. Exterior is too strange. Not bad if you're into it.

[@xRainxBowxBritex]

The hate that Toyota and prius gets is just classist and pathetic. Car enthusiasts forget that NOT EVERYONE IS A CAR ENTHUSIAST. Some of us just want a car that is RELIABLE, will last forever with minimal maintenance besides the basics, isn't a gas guzzler is economic on our wallet and in the environment Like if you hate the prius don't get one then?? If you want a fancy car that can go 0 to 100 mph or can be modified and has all sorts of cool shit then get a different car?? Like sorry the prius isn't up to your sports car or trucks standards lmao but it's not a sports car or a truck. It's a prius Anyways I love them and I can't wait to get rid of my kia in a year or so and get a prius

[@stantongovindasamy6860]
