    It is not like my s2000 when I drove it on a 12K road with endless twists. But it was damn fun. Yeah, this guy is a troll.

    i have a 2017 prius two eco. the E.P.A. mpg estimates are on the conservative side. You can EASILY surpass the combined 56 mpg if you are a decent driver and aren't flooring the gas pedal every time.

      i agree and i have the 2018 2eco..my highest mpg is 65 driving 45miles

    I disagree 100 % I love driving the car i love its layout and I find its look in both the 2nd generation and 3rd generation very attractive

    Fun to drive: I have never driver a vehicle this much comfortable to drive. This can builds a relationship with the driver. I love to be in this car. I have driven taxi ( Prius) and i never felt tired even after driving it for 12 hrs. It is cocoon in which you can sit for hrs.

    i got the 2018 prius 2 eco ,only upset with no blind spot detector and the sit kinda stiff but overall is good and really a gas saver...

    Should I buy this or civic hatchback? Like the prius must be fun as the civic is to drive right?

    The stock Bridgestone tires aren't very good, I swapped mine for the Dunlop SPORT BLURESPONSE for better mileage(fuel and life span), but someone who drives more aggressive the SP SPORT FASTRESPONSE are better with grip but less economy.

    You’re saying so many times : “which is what this car is designed to do” … and you yourself are saying what your biases are, just because you’re dealing with a Prius you’re treating it like everyone treats it without giving it a fair review.

    What? The double wishbone rear suspension don't cut it for you?

      I don't think he knows what he's talking about. I've heard there's a big improvement over previous gens.

    The cargo area on some 2016's don't have a spare.

    I do think the taillights are bizarre. But it's the kind of weird that's ugly in a fun way. At least I think I could get used to it.

    is to possible to get a hitch on it for a bike rack?

    The Prius is far and away better than any competitor. But like all computer mileage estimates it is 2 mpg off all the time always estimates higher.

    • @peterweise3836
      @peterweise3836 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes it is. Drive one for 3,5 years. There is no better car out on the market in many aspects.

    The smaller wheels would give better economy

    I think this car has horrible visibility! I'm surprised. I have to lean my entire body all the way right into the passenger seat when im making left turns. Also the little triangles on the front of my front windows are blacked out with a tint. makes it even worse. this thing is straight up dangerous. not to mention that you pretty much cant see out the back. Although that bar in the back does kind of block the light when someone is tailing me with their brights on.

    I love the looks, but the wheels are ugly.

    what are the operating costs? Insurance? how about a comparo btwn it and the Volt and throw in a Leaf or E-golf for good measure and make the case for a hybrid or extended range electric or pure electric...personally, I am anti-prius, it's only purpose is to slowly move people from point a to b and give no enjoyment or satisfaction while doing so...it is the (white) microwave above your stove, it is an appliance in every sense of the word, but since it is a toyota, they will sell millions...you heard him, the only thing to get excited about is to see how many miles/mpg you can get, not canyon carving or other enthusiastic driving ritual...a bottom basement car hyped to sound better than it actually is and 20% more expensive than it should be.
