I’m a car a guy and own a Prius. It’s hard to believe how much gas you actually save. Also with the rear folding seats and hatchback you can fit large size cargo. It’s a great practical car.

Armando Hernandez that sounds awesome. I drive around 300 miles a week. And my Subaru ascent doesn’t get the best mpg. Luckily I could carpool with my mom but she’s also driving a 2020 forester which is better but if I could find an even better fuel efficient car that would be good. Was thinking this or a Accord hybrid.

[@ArmandoGore]

@@born2win259 Yes only reason i got this car because i live in cali and the gas prices are killing me. now i fill it up with just $30 and i get almost 600 miles of range for a full tank. and since you said you drive 300 miles a week youll probably fill it up every 2 weeks if you get a pruis or another good mpg hybrid car :)

[@davidbelove662]

My 2008 Prius and I were involved in a T-bone accident (I hit a red light runner on the passenger side door) and I walked away! Airbag deployed saving me from injury. So my much loved car was totaled. It had been such a great car for me that I went out the same day as the accident and bought a new 2019 Prius Limited with all the safety technologies and the amazing 11.9 inch screen. I think no one buys a Prius because it is sexy or fast off the line but because it is well built and built to last. I got 11 trouble free years and expect the same from my new one. I must say, however, my car in red looks really great! These are the best looking Prius’s to date.

[@salatzke]

I have had my 2008 for 12 years (obviously) and LOVE it; I could probably drive it until the wheels fall off, but it has zero cool features (it's an option 2) and new cars have so many more safety and comfort features. I can't stand the new Prius models, so I'm getting an Ioniq.

[@MartyMeyerdierks]

I owned from BMW M3 to F150. Prius is the best vehicle I owned period in terms of reliability and cost of ownership. Although not very powerful it is so nimble and easy to drive everytime I need to make errands or go to work I drive the Prius over my truck. Yes it is the best hybrid in the market.

I had a Prius as a rental car a few years ago. I enjoyed it very much. I found myself watching the eco gauge trying to use as little gas as possible.

[@salatzke]

I have owned my Prius for 12 years and absolutely LOVE it (2008 option 2 model). It's been extremely good to me; the only nonstandard maintenance I've done is replace the 11V battery in the back, and I had to replace the hybrid battery at 11yrs/175k miles (which I don't think is unreasonable). Being a loyal Prius owner, I test drove the 2020 and HATED it. I don't love the exterior design (although it's better than the last generation), and this shade of blue is obnoxious. You have to turn your head and look at the center every time you want to see your speed etc. (the instrument panel needs to be in the driver's direct field of vision). There is a LOT less rear head room in the 2020 than my 2008; my husband could not sit back there and he is only 6' tall (I'm 5'7" and I felt cramped). I cannot see out of the back of the car when turning my head to reverse like I can in my 2008. Flipping the seats down in the back results in a shelf rather than a large flat surface area for cargo. I went down the street to test drive a Hyundai Ioniq, told the dealer I was a loyal Prius owner, and asked him to make me a believer. He didn't have to - the car sold itself. That was a 2019 model, and I decided to wait for the 2020, so come this September, I plan to buy a 2020 Ioniq Hybrid Limited. It's a better car in every aspect than the 2020 Prius and costs less.

Hi Joe, you are zonking all those "fake" vents but have you heard of the "Golf Ball" effect? In fact Mythbusters covered a car with clay and put round dimples on the clay like a golf ball and they compared with a regular car in MPG. They got better mpg with the car that they put dimples on its surface. So, those fake vents might not function as a vent but they improve aerodynamics for a better MPG. Also eCVT is different than the belt driven CVT.

[@amerlin388]

Remove the useless middle headrest in the back seat to improve rear-view visibility. The Prius does have regenerative braking. In fact, if you take your foot off the accelerator driving down the highway a slight regeneration is engaged putting a drag on the vehicle. I've read the claim "regen during coasting is done to simulate engine drag on a normal car. Every effort was made to make the Prius drive and control in a fashion understandable to drivers." Hey Toyota Engineers - let the Prius truly coast if the last pedal depressed was the accelerator; engage regen if the last pedal depressed was the brake. Driver could engage the long slow regen deceleration by tapping the brake.

I would probably buy the Kia Niro hybrid instead, although the Prius Prime and regular Prius are on the most recent Consumer Reports top ten list, just after the Mazda MX-5 Miata. The Hyundai and Kia hybrids have a longer warranty, especially for the big hybrid battery, and they do not have a small starter battery that needs replacing every 5 to 7 years. The biggest downside is they have not been out long enough to know a lot about how they do with 200 thousand plus miles and 10 years plus for weathering.

[@salatzke]

I had to replace the starter battery in my 2008 Prius a couple of years ago, and I replaced the hybrid battery at 11 yrs/175k (which I thought wasn't bad). I had similar thoughts as to the Prius being out for nearly 20 years and the Ioniq only being out for 3, but in the end, hybrid technology has been around a long time and has been proven to be reliable, and Hyundai has an excellent warranty. After test driving both, I am hands down going with the Ioniq.

Prius Prime!

[@rsultan25gaminggxc]

I love mine. I got a blue it’s reliable and slick.

I got to agree with one of my fellow subscribers, this vehicle is a big zonk, at least for anyone interested in automobiles as a passion! About as interesting as my LG refrigerator! 🤪

I feel your pain Robert.

Going back to CVT subject, Toyota doing their own CVT'S and they still not perfected this but a huge different in comparison with junky Nissan CVT.

I thought this line of cars was discontinued years ago. Haven’t seen one on the road in years.

[@salatzke]

I have an '08. I agree; I do not see Priuses on the road nearly as often as I did years ago. There is a lot of competition in the hybrid market now. I'm buying an Ioniq later this year.

The science project comment was spot on! lol

[@MDpham2]

rear ac is under neath the front seats, i think. At least in mine there are vents underneath the front seats.

[@RaitisRides]

HUH? Really? I need to take a look at that.

[@MDpham2]

@@RaitisRides ha...ok, i'm not so sure if it's ac or heat. I have yet to test it. I just got the car, recently. I do see some kind of duct/vent looking thing under the front seats though.
