I own a 2012 Prius Plug-In. I love it and will never have a gas only car again. I live in TN hill country and still average 67 mpg. This is a combination of short trips and about 3 long trips over 50 miles monthly. On hybrid alone it averages about 52 mpg. I previously owned a standard 2007 Prius which averaged 45 mpg. My 2012 Prius has 93,000 miles and I've had no big fix-its: only standard maintenance and I did replace brake pads and tires.
My 2014 Volt has 40,000+ miles on it in less than 2 years. I have a lifetime average mpg of 94.8. I only charge once a day in my garage using the standard 120 volt charger. What Prius gets 94.8 lifetime average. You said you were driving 27 mph. I was probably gunning it at every light like always and flying to work at 80 mph. If I drove 27 mph I would get 100's of mpg. Really Prius is old tech. Just do what I did. Get the best, but a Volt. The Volt is so powerful, so agile, so one of a kind. Not a single problem. I am getting oil changes at about 20,000 because I never use the gas motor. The car will have 100,000 miles on it and the gas motor will have less than 20,000 miles on it. So amazing!!!! Get one and stop bragging about so little mpg in a Prius. Some Volt owners would never use gas except the car automatically burns one tank a year to keep the gas fresh. 9 gallons a year, that's it, year after year.
It's a car. You don't need it to look pretty. Tanks don't have flowers on top of them. Planes aren't designed to look pretty. The only reason that people make vehicles pretty is to satisfy the pointless desires of people like you so that you'll be more inclined to buy them.
Hi I have 2012 Toyota Prius plug-in I bought it few days ago it need to be charged by electric outlet if I do not charge the is it to damage my car 🚗 thanks for your reply.
I think america should start building more of these charging stations so more and more car manufacturers can hopefully start rolling out more of these types cars
The Volt is nothing more than an over subsidized "lemon". Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. If I did a Prius, I wouldn't waste my money on the Volt wannabe and just do one of the normal Prius's. Your cost savings over time would be much better than any plug in, and if you have a "thing" for global whining, you'd be a hypocrite for buying a Volt or any plug in for that matter. Just from the battery alone, your carbon footprint is already two years ahead than my Civic from off the lot.
Diesels work better in Europe because diesel gas is cheaper than petrol. Plus most European countries charge some kind of gas guzzler tax when you buy a petrol car. Hybrids are excluded from this tax. Americans like hybrids because they hardly use any gas when you are traveling at low speeds in very congested cities like LA or NY, maintenance is low, and petrol gas is cheaper than diesel.
Someone who really cars about enviroment, doesn't buy prius. He buys modern diesels like BMW 2.0 diesel. It has 135 kW, 7.5s 0-100 km/h and consumption better then 50 MPG. Or even more eco friendly VWs 1.6 TDI with 70 MPG. And mainly, there is no polution caused by making the batteries. If you add this polution to the one caused by driving, prius is in polution worst then much more powerful gas powered cars.
you said it, people are stupid, they think diesel is bad but guess what, its better than petrol and these batteries are VERY dangerous, lots of acid and when they are dead what are you going to do with them? ya i know, they cant be recycled.
why do you guys have this shitty audio every now and then? does no one check the videos before posting them to check for this high pitched noise? I actually want to check this out but the audio makes it unwatchable.
A Prius is just death waiting to happen. They should have Toyota sponsor the Final Destination movies and have them drive Prius's in the movie so that Death can kill them faster.
Base Prius 24k, CNET style plug in 39k, 15k difference. That extra free 10 miles a charge is going to take an awful long time to recoup that difference.
Ah, so true. How could we forget that all diesel motors are assembled from locally grown parts, and always in the same place as the rest of the car. In fact since they, unlike batteries, are constructed out of hemp it has no negative affect the environment.
The new Honda Accord Plug In Hybrid have a slightly longer electric only range of around 25km (15.5 miles) to battle the Prius Plug In. Who will become the ultimate king with highest fuel efficiency???!!!
car looks good, been travelling in a few of the earlier model priuse's was very impressed and also actually one honda civic hybrid. if you ask me i think basically this technology is being held back it could be more advanced today instead of ten years from now. i would like to own one of these but i don't know, it seems silly there is still a petrol function involved and just not the car running solely on electric.
Lean burn engine? No, it's Atkinson but the engine stays at stoichimetric air:fuel ratio. Honda uses a lean burn non-atkinson cycle engine in their Civic Hybrid, Insight though.
Most Americans hate gas guzzling cars, and their fine with it. Yea, it costs more to fill up with gas, but if you can afford it, why is it big deal? Don't get on some random person because they have a car that doesn't get good MPG. .
There is no petrol only version of the Prius. But lets compare a Camry hybrid vs the normal 4 cylinder Camry. The Camry hybrid will cost more, but you are also getting more standard features, and the engine as a whole is an upgrade in terms of both MPG and power & speed. Besides a Prius will drive exactly the same as any TDI when your in LA gridlock going 5 or 10 mph. In 2008 I voted for Obama because I saw him as the lesser of 2 evils. I seriously doubt we would be better off with Mccain/Pailin
I don't understand why people hate Prius so much. It is a car for a different market segment who prioritize fuel efficiency over performance. If you don't like it don't buy it or watch it's videos to criticize!!!
The idea is brilliant to fight the environmental pollution now, but it is not worth the money to move to this car unless the government gives lots of rebates and benefits for protecting the environment.
My dad just got a Yaris and my mom a Civic hybrid. Wish we would have got 2x Civic's that Yaris is just too cheap for words. We will just end up throwing that Yaris away in 2-3 years like an old tennis shoe. The plugin Prius is worth the $32k if your mostly city driving but with long drives to Vegas and what not, its not made for that. Civic hybrid on the other hand gets up to 90mph passing semi's all day :)
i love cooley but i feel like the only thing he is biased to is the prius line no mention of the volt either, suprising considering it seems much easier to justify driving 40 miles per day vs commuting 11 miles per day.
The new Honda Accord Plug In Hybrid have a slightly longer electric only range of around 25km (15.5 miles) to battle the Prius Plug In. Who will become the ultimate king with highest fuel efficiency???!!!
No not really, the batteries go to multiple spots/countries before they hit their final assembly point to get into the vehicle itself. With all the emissions it takes, you are really putting more pollution into the atmosphere than a diesel truck. Maybe you should educate yourself.
we are moving forward. 10-13 miles electric may not seem like a lot, but for us city folks that is my entire commute to and from work. Only concern is even me not wasting any gasoline. is it worth the 12-14k dollars more than a corolla
In the Los Angeles area diesel gas is costs 20 to 30 cents more per gallon than regular petrol. The cost difference almost negates the fuel savings of diesel cars and trucks.
car will need gas once in a while, there is a time limit for the gas to stay in the fuel tank. I forgot the duration but usually gas starts to get spoil in 3-4 month. It will have a warning when time is up and fresh gas is due.
The plan is right to fight the environmental pollution now, but it is not worth the money to move to this car unless the government gives lots of rebates and benefits for protecting the environment.
It is true. How could we forget that all diesel motors are assembled from locally grown parts, and always in the same place as the rest of the car. In fact since they, unlike batteries, are constructed out of hemp it has no negative affect the environment.
I live in a compact city where there's traffic everyday and I use my Cannadole bike for transportation! It saves me money and I contribute with the environment. Beat that Prius. I use zero consumption of gasoline and yes I'm a college student who cares about the environment. :)
There is another possibility e4wd hybrid - a powertrain which combines advantages of parallel and series hybrids. You can find a description on my channel if you wish.
I'd imagine traffic jams aren't so common in Utah, so I can understand that you are satisfied with your TDI Golf. Just saying hybrids work really well in congested cities where there can be hundreds of thousands of cars sharing the same roads in just a few square miles.
У Вольта есть ряд преимуществ. Он может до 70 км на одной зарядке проехать (Prius до 20 км), Быстрый разгон. И это пожалуй все. Если его использовать без зарядки, то Prius будет экономичнее. Да и 4 места всего. А интерьеры это на любителя, мне нравится и Prius и Volt
My 2014 Volt can travel 42-45 miles consistently on a single charge. If you drive less than 45 miles daily (16,425 miles per year) you can get 1825 mpg. The Volt will automatically burn one tank of gas/year to ensure you have fresh gas if you need it. The gas tank holds 9 gallons. Can any Prius get 1,825 mpg? Is any Prius faster than the Volt? Can any Prius handle better than the Volt. The Volt dominates. The Volt has no range anxiety like other electric cars. It's one of a kind. Get one before the rebates disappear. A new 2015 Volt can be bought for $19,000 after a federal tax credit ($7,500) and California state credit ($1,500). Yah, new Volt for $19,000!!!!!! What are you waiting for?
VoltecRules No car can get 1,825 mpg. The highest MPGe I've seen from a pure electric car has been 120, while your Volt is rated at 98 MPGe. I really don't see how you got your numbers but this was a terrible attempt at selling out your vehicle.
+Lord Megatron Yes the Tesla is awesome. But it has Range Anxiety because you can only go so far then you have to plug in. Please try to pick similar cars in similar price ranges when trying to make a comment. The Volt is an electric car like the Tesla, but it has a gas generator to supply electricity to the electric motor when you run out of battery. Some owners (ex: apartment renters with no plug) never charge their Volt and just run the generator all the time. Or some owners drive coast to coast, and back, without charging. Try that in a Tesla. Try buying a Tesla for about $20,000 after rebates, like I did with my Volt. Totally different, totally cool cars. I know it's hard to argue against the Volt because it does everything so good. No other car can match it, because no other car is like it. People who try to argue against it end up saying stupid things like, "just shut up!" So funny. Please buy a Volt before the rebates go away. The 2016 Volt is even better, Cheaper too.
Why buy a Prius plug in to drive 11-15 miles on a charge when you can buy a Volt and drive 51 miles on electric only, like I did yesterday on my way to work. Usually I get about 47 miles on a charge, which is 4 times the EV range of a plug in prius. My 2014 Volt cost 23,000 after 7,500 Fed tax credit and 1,500 Ca rebate. Such a great car, inexpensive, and really fast. The Volt has an overall range of 370 miles before the 9.3 gallon gas tank is empty. Many Volts ave 900 mpg.
History is not taught in our public schools like it should be. People that didn't experience first hand WWII don't know really what happened, and therefor just arrogantly dismiss patriots that would rather buy American cars to support American industries, when possible. What if every American felt like you and only bought Japanese cars? Japan's economy would be booming and American cars would no longer exist. A selfish person puts himself before country.
David Wilson Then us, the Americans, should make better, cheaper cars, like those in the East (Asia). Ford seems to be the only one that has their stuff together. GM has some fixing to do (kill off Buick in America; apparently they sell very well in China though).
The Prius just is not getting much better after all these years. Why the hell would anybody buy a Prius. Never find yourself single in a Prius, because you will be single until you sell it. The Volt dominates in all ways: 0-60, mpg, handling, braking, reliability, and the cost of a Volt is cheaper after the $9,000 off you get in California and other states. The new 2016 a Volt is so awesome too. Who the hell talks about the new 2016 Prius...nobody, because it's like all the other previous Prius...so lame.
+The Rusty Scooter Prius C will keep you a single man forever, Randy. Hahah! If you can't buy a new 2016 Volt for $23,000 after $9,000 in Fed and State rebates, get some help negotiating when you go to the dealer. I paid $22,195 plus I got an additional $3,000 off using my GM card points, Total was less than $20,000. Prius is bad enough, but really a Prius C. So freaking funny. Stick with that choice, Prius C, and next time my Volt pulls up to you give it all its got:). My Volt will dominate off the line, down the stretch and all the war to its limited 100 mph using nothing but electric power. Then we can keep repeating that for the next 40 miles my Volt will have a charge. Then it automatically switches to gas, seamlessly. That's scenario is going to be the same for the entire Prius family too. Prius was cool way back when the EV1 was cool, but the Prius has not really go much better. Currently I have 40,000 miles on my Volt, with no problems at all.
+The Rusty Scooter True, being so superficial as to think a woman would be attracted to a nice car is not right....but why take the chance in a Prius C.
I own a 2012 Prius Plug-In. I love it and will never have a gas only car again. I live in TN hill country and still average 67 mpg. This is a combination of short trips and about 3 long trips over 50 miles monthly. On hybrid alone it averages about 52 mpg. I previously owned a standard 2007 Prius which averaged 45 mpg. My 2012 Prius has 93,000 miles and I've had no big fix-its: only standard maintenance and I did replace brake pads and tires.
Does anyone else hear that awful high-pitched tone in the background in some of the clips??
Austin Kinser yeah I hear that to I thought I was hearing stuff
Ya
In my 2013 standard Prius, for 498 miles i got 61.5 mpg at an average speed of 27 mph.
+Gary Livesey The point is, the most important feature in a car for fuel economy is the driver.
Gary Livesey the point is its people like you that cause people to hate the prius. Drive it like a car.
My 2014 Volt has 40,000+ miles on it in less than 2 years. I have a lifetime average mpg of 94.8. I only charge once a day in my garage using the standard 120 volt charger.

Hi I have 2012 Toyota Prius plug-in I bought it few days ago it need to be charged by electric outlet if I do not charge the is it to damage my car 🚗 thanks for your reply.
It will not damage if you don't plug in. It will just operate like a normal non "plug-in" hybrid prius
well chevy did make the Volt but its a sales flop its a good car but its not selling for some odd reason
Finally upgraded to a newer car. I just got one. Loving it so far. Been about a month now haven't been to a gas station
I think america should start building more of these charging stations so more and more car manufacturers can hopefully start rolling out more of these types cars
ahhh. the mic is ringing

thats to expensive I rather buy a yaris half the price just cuz is fancy and has a battery in it or I can buy 2 yaris for that price

I thought the Volt sells for $35,000, and you only get 4 seats and lesser cargo capacity than the Prius.

The Volt dominates in all ways: 0-60, mpg, handling, braking, reliability, and the cost of a Volt is cheaper after the $9,000 off you get in California and other states. The new 2016 a Volt is so awesome too. Who the hell talks about the new 2016 Prius...nobody, because it's like all the other previous Prius...so lame.
Its not because Volt is American Right?
VoltecRules No one talks about the Volt either.
+The Rusty Scooter Prius C will keep you a single man forever, Randy. Hahah! If you can't buy a new 2016 Volt for $23,000 after $9,000 in Fed and State rebates, get some help negotiating when you go to the dealer. I paid $22,195 plus I got an additional $3,000 off using my GM card points, Total was less than $20,000. Prius is bad enough, but really a Prius C. So freaking funny. Stick with that choice, Prius C, and next time my Volt pulls up to you give it all its got:). My Volt will dominate off the line, down the stretch and all the war to its limited 100 mph using nothing but electric power. Then we can keep repeating that for the next 40 miles my Volt will have a charge. Then it automatically switches to gas, seamlessly. That's scenario is going to be the same for the entire Prius family too. Prius was cool way back when the EV1 was cool, but the Prius has not really go much better. Currently I have 40,000 miles on my Volt, with no problems at all.
+The Rusty Scooter True, being so superficial as to think a woman would be attracted to a nice car is not right....but why take the chance in a Prius C.
VoltecRules lol look where we are now. prius is still the leading seller and i can’t believe you said the volt was more reliable .
