Toyota Prius Comprehensive Demonstration Review & Walk Around 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009. This is my new 2005 Toyota Prius. I am going over the features and gadgets that make this prius so cool and interesting.

Cool to see that you have a 70s mustang. I have a 68 mustang that has been my daily driver, which I'm now realizing is no longer the most practical idea. Watching this video really made me consider investing in a prius while I finish restoring the mustang.

you can not lock the car if the key is left in the car. doesn't have to be in the ignition, i left the key in my jacket and got out and tried to lock it with the switch only it wouldn't lock, not until i took my jacket that had the key in it out of the car. pretty cool!!

[@jodylowe8476]

This dude loves his prius. I have a 2007 which love and like to drive. Only problem is recently it started having electronic glitches and cost me a alot of money to get it up and running. Then the 12v battery died again and it is in a real stupid place to remove. Not the hybrid battery thank god. Also the most expensive 12v i have ever bought. Now it doesn't go into gear and the engine doesnt start. I think this may be a minor issue, but not sure yet. It has alot of miles on it and i plan on doubling that eventually.

[@michaeldamico4583]

underneath your middle console near the floor there is a drawer that pulls out. its the most super secret compartment. let me know if you see it

Very helpful, I just bought a 2007 for work ( regional sales) , and I assume the interior etc hasnt changed much. I didnt know about the key / FOB part nor about the upper storage.. I bought the car through my brother who went and dealt with the guy selling it. Thanks allot.. any accessories you recommend? I am going to do tint, floor mats, and after market stero...if I dont like it.

[@teddytad]

Thank you for the explanation.Do you know if the battery exausts as the car gets higher milage like more than 200000?

Dude this car is fucking awesome, button to put it in park, two grove boxes, 100 mpg, what more can you ask for.

Not 100 mpg. I think it's rated at about 45 wich is still very good.

still running?

[@UnitedPebbles]

You know the Denso filter? you can just vacuum, soak/wash it with mild soap, let it dry and reuse it...mpg still the same. Of course it wasn't that dirty on mine...but why waste 40-50 dollars? that gas struts on the back, won't last long. I suggest you stockpile a pair before after-market supply run out & inflation. two winter tires as replacement would be good for winter. Noticed you only have to take off two? I said front, because it fwd...or one on driver back, one on pass front.

[@emilysaunders5980]

I'm getting the 2007 Prius for my 18th birthday and this is my first car! I was just wondering how is the sound system and do all the cars come with a reverse camera?

[@Archifx]

Backup cameras weren’t standard equipment in vehicles until March 14th 2014 so these generation Prius did not have them. You can add an aftermarket one for around $100. The sound system is actually pretty good. You aren’t going to win competitions with it but it was more than enough when I had the car.

[@emilysaunders5980]

Fix It Now thank you so much 😊

[@alehramm263]

QUESTION! We just got this exact same car and when it switches from gas to electric power it doesn't switch back to gas right away when the power is low. It's so annoying especially when it happens on the freeway and busy streets because the car slows down about 10 miles. Is there a way to change electric to gas manually or are we having a bigger issue???

[@ronaldknight9416]

+Aleh Ramm If its taking more time to power the battery with gas it sounds like your batteries about to die. Or just maybe its a bad battery? Not sure I'd take it into Toyota and have them look at it, or if you don't have warranty like me, you can take it to a mechanic shop that deals with imports that specialize in prius :D

[@camjkerman]

some times the system gets confused so if it ever happens just boot it.

[@westernspud504]

i have had the Hybrid battery rebuilt by the collage here only cost me 1200 , i bought the car for 1500, and now have 200 in rebuilding the Speedometer gauges so i have 2900 into a 5000 dollar car ,My problem at the moment is trying to reset the Hybrid Battery triangle of death , i have checked it with my code reader no codes come up ,

[@tune345]

my bro bought this today lol

[@srabukawaqa9060]

I'm surprised by this video. Is this the 2nd generation Prius or not? Because if its is, well i got one too. However, i stick the fob into an opening near thE steering wheel in order to start my car. I mean i thought the proximity sensor applies to the 3rd generation and the 2nd generation has to have the fob stuck in its place to start it. Its right of the steering wheel in our Right Hand Drive Prius (of course i'm from one of those countries that drive on the left in Right Hand DrIve Vehicles like in the UK, Aussie, NZ.) here in Fiji.. Can you enlighten me on this please?

[@mdhsabh]

"Smart key" system in the Gen 2. The '05 is a Gen 2. That feature is turned on and off by a small button by the key slot.

[@evilrascals]

Hi, We got a problem with our toyota prius. We tried the ' B ' gear( like the R and D and N Gear). We cant turn it off. The car makes funny noises when we drive it. Can you help me? Please?

[@ntoobe]

Does the heater work with engine off, too?

[@Georgeqaws]

Yes, but only if the engine is hot first. So say if you are waiting to pick someone up in the the winter, you can still have heat for a while. The engine will eventually cycle on and off. You can't heat up the car before you come out of the house in the winter.

[@mayestrada5808]

Under the steering wheel, there are two buttons, ..key and set ...what are those for?

[@MrCruiseadict]

since there is a actual key inside the fob in case the battery dies i believe thats what you would press to get it to start, but i'm not 100% sure i don't even own one yet.

[@eg487]

They KEY button is used to turn off the proximity sensor (SKS aka smart key system) to save battery power for times when one will not operate the vehicle for an extended period of time (over a week). The SET button is used to reset the TPMS aka tire pressure monitor system. Bonus acronym; MFD = multi-function display

Hey nice review man, i'm contemplating on getting the prius.. but i'm kinda torn between the prius, the civic and the camry... i'm not to fond of the design/shape of the prius... but quite frankly it's all about the gas mileage for me.. but one thing i didn't see, and that was the spare tire.. does it come with a spare tire?... and have u ever filled the gas tank? and how much did it cost to full up?

[@DanSuolo]

And I second "john doe" request?

[@djclown7pb]

Theres a spare tired under the cargo and jack, in the trunk. Its just a donut

[@altcoelho]

where can you see the RPM while driving it?

[@camjkerman]

A Prius has a CVT automatic so a tach would be completely and utterly useless

[@dimosk7389]

the difference with the CVT is that you cant do absolutely nothing to adjust the rpm. no matter how hard you press the gas pedal, it will go to a certain rpm and just accelerate. now, some CVT offer a range of preselected "gears" (or more correct, ratios) that the driver can change through paddles behind the wheel. besides, i am sure this was a marketing thing from toyota. eliminating an instrument that reminds us of gasoline and "old" engines, and pushing the electric-tech portion of the car by utilising a huge screen

[@50centmarian]

Does this car have built in GPS.

[@pups7685]

This model shown does not, it is however available.

[@rmalacas]

what's the "B" for on the shifter ?

[@Reesiicup17]

Cosmo dus it's to help you brake quicker if you need to stop short

[@downtownlife]

Can you explain that a little more, please. Do you use this in stop and go heavy traffic?

[@mercedes-benzcla250sport8]

downtownlife It is used when you are going down steep incline so you don't have to ride your break down a hill

[@Georgeqaws]

Something similar to engine braking.

[@srabukawaqa9060]

"B" is like a low gear in normal vehicles. When you go down hills in normal vehicles you shift to 2, 1 or L for low gears. In the Prius,you shift to "B".

[@toyotaprius79]

10:42 Bear with me. The engine makes 76bhp, the motor makes 67bhp, total is 110bhp... Imagine when the engine is on 70% (53bhp) of the power moves the wheels, the other 30% (22.8bhp) drives the generator which will charge the battery if needed, if not it will power the drive motor. In addition, the battery can supply 28bhp. So under full acceleration, the engine sends 53.2bhp, the motor makes 50.8 from the engine and battery. Together making 104bhp, while Toyota claims 110bhp? It's weird, man.

[@SleeplessinOC]

Where should we get our oil changed ?

[@laurabarber6697]
