I never thought I'd say it but I test drove this car yesterday and was very impressed. So much that I'll be getting one this week. It's really not that bad but this is coming from a guy who has driven an "05" XB for the past 10 years. It may not be the prettiest car on the road but it's affordable and will get you where you need to go. Be safe and considerate out there people.
I was recently in a car accident, I was rear-ended and I had the 2014 Prius C. I'm a practical guy and I have a long commute, so the Prius is the car for me. I got a rental (Nissan Sentra), and I've had it for 1 week, and I've already spent more than $80 on gas. It helped my decision to continue with the Prius (I've always liked it anyway), but also go with the standard Prius as opposed to the C which is the smaller one. The accident really affected my decision. And since Prius/Toyota don't depreciate as fast as other cars, I'm getting a pre-owned 2017. This review definitely assured me that I've made the right decision for myself.
I assumed that sunglasses were the simple solution ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ at least here in CA (where the review was filmed, too) it just makes sense to carry a pair in your car. I guess the heat from the sun can still be an issue, though.
My mom owns one and I drive it occasionally. I dont know why people hate on it so much. In SoCal, when will you ever have to drive 0-60 in 2.3 seconds in traffic? And gas efficiency is really good, ours averaged to around 54 mpg so we save quite a bit. And it's roomy so you can drive people comfortably and carry a bunch of stuff in the back.
Every time the latest was sold, Prius criticized the design severely. 4 generation Prius would also be got used to seeing immediately. An important thing should know the performance to have evolved remarkably.
I had a prius ('07) and loved it. I love the '17 even more. I'm trying to convince the husband to let me get one. Didn't quite understand your dissatisfaction with the brakes, tho.
I got to say, when I saw it online, at first I thought it looked trash but after seeing it by myself in the street, I found it very beautiful. My only complain in the interior instrument panel.
I & my wife both own 2006 Prius'. Going on 12 years and a combined 330K miles, both cars are flawless and unbelievably cheap to own, maintain and operate. Although I find the styling of the new (regular) Prius beyond confusing (the 'plug-in" much more attractive)... I suspect the build quality and engineering to be the best on the planet... The other hybrids don't compare IMHO :)
I love this car, bought one for my wife and we both like the tail lights, so weird and cool and different. All the beeping is kind of annoying but we are getting 65 mpg currently and there's nothing like going to the gas station every other month. Now excuse me while I wait for my Tesla 3 =)
AWESOME I got one in white exterior and black interior with some white touch ups. Lovin it! I see supercarsuspects crashing and I never saw a Prius crashed and that gear shifter was awesome. BOOYAH Prius is now the king
Few things I want to know about 2016 Prius Two: - How to adjust the height the trunk opening - How to setup the messages over iPhone - How to turn off the backup/reverse sound alert - How to setup with any temperature and preference for AUTO temp
Great review! We stole a 2017 Prius 2 (basic package) from our local Toyota dealer a few days ago for $21K so still having fun learning what our first-ever Hybrid can do. YES the visor DOES suck! And that annoying backup beep makes me want to put on a hard hat. I don't know why you don't like the brakes..they are better than the brakes in my Tundra. She just went over 105 miles yet my fuel gauge still shows totally full. (11 gallon gas tank means I can go around 600 miles before filling up.)
I wasn't sure about the styling at first but now I absolutely love it! It looks like a vicious demon, especially in red. Which of course is ugly, but in a cool badass way.
+yout0be1person The car hasn't even entered production, at all. Their factory won't be up until mid 2017, probably won't see any finished models until end of 2017.
I saw it on the streets of Chicago the other day. It peaked my curiosity enough to check out this review. I like it. The design is quite bold and stylish - new civic is also bold in design
After 10 years with a Prius, I got tired of looking at total digital information on the dashboard. I traded the latest one in for a 2016 RAV4 Hybrid. I like the dashboard much better. 7 inch's of ground clearance is also sweet!
My girlfriend had a Honda Element. Hated it at first when it came out. That thing was my Scion XB on steroids. It was a great car that helped us out a couple times while moving but it is the reason I'll NEVER buy a car with high ground clearance. Some asshole came a long, went under the car and hacked off the catalytic converter. It costs $1200.00 to fix.
Aaron Walker - it certainly grows on you. I have test drove one twice, and am contemplating getting one, as it is far better dynamically than they ever were in the past.
The only things I truly dislike about the Prius are the exterior styling and the infotainment system. *Almost everything else is very sensibly designed.*
Bro, I’m a car enthusiast and love big ass v8 cars... but, I would still rock a Prius. No problem. Cars good enough for me, I’m poor and can’t afford gas for a v8😂
...honestly sorta wanna get one. it suits my personal needs anyway, but all the hate people have for it is crazy. but things may change once i go car shopping lmao
The Prius is not a bad looking car. Hybrids and electrics are the future of automobiles. The gas guzzlers are just getting upset because 10 years from now they'll have to switch too.
I wanted to buy 2017 but I test drove it and seats on the side dig into my legs....seat is to narrow. Im 6'1 235...to bad other then that I liked it...
My big gripe with the current Prius: it's just *WAY* overstyled, literally to the point of ugliness. At least Honda got it right with the 2019 Insight, which actually looks nice (mostly because they took the current Civic sedan design and toned down the front and rear end design).
***** Personally, I never liked any Asian car company at all. I like the Toyota Celica and that one Honda supercar that looked like a gay Lamborghini [Lambos are pretty gay anyways, glad that Audi bought them] Toyota has just disappointed me so many times that I gave up on them
lol. Prius, i don't care much about the car. i do care and i get mad at those people that say that they're saving the environment. In reality they're not, it take more toxic waste to produce those batteries as well as solar panels in houses then what a regular car would burn in fuel. now if you say that ypu bought the car to get more miles and save money on gas then that's the best reason to buy a prius. Not to save the environment.
I want to beat the engineer who in 2017 still places the gauges in the center of the dash. No, you won't adapt, and you will hate this. And for those who say they have no problem with it, I call them delusional. At least there is a heads up display.
Does anybody know if this new Prius still asks you what you paid at the pump and then tells you how much money you spent in gas from trip to trip? The old one used to tell you when you turned off the car.
After driving cars in the 60's with big V8's, now I'm interested in the Prius. Gasoline prices are low now, but watch: They will go up in price again. Just wait.
Hi serious question please. I’m interested in buying a hybrid car. Is Prius worth it? Or are there better hybrids than a Prius? I don’t know anything about hybrids. Reliable? Long lasting? I don’t care about looks, I’m just a college student trying to save money for gas and get from point A go point B.
When I was a teenager, I used to watch supercar reviews. Now that I am an adult, I watch Prius reviews.
Lame-o lol

Can I buy your xB?
Well how do you like it after 5 years?
Unpopular opinion: I actually like this design, it's a breather from the previous and boring designs
It's a shocking new design that grows on you, but I agree that the back could be a bit better.
Looks like a 4th grader drew this car
theunmaskedninja my mom thinks that too, but I'm one of the one who think that it looks like feces
theunmaskedninja The opinion isn't unpopular at all
Don't get why people hate Prius. It is a great car and fuel efficient if you want to buy more gas go right ahead.
It's ugly.
1 it's hideous
2 it hurts the environment while being made
3 it's every petrolheads worst nightmare
"it hurts the environment while being made"
Doesn't every car?
yes but in this case its cons outweigh its pros
it has no functionality except driving from one place to another and it is cancer on wheels
At first I thought this design was ugly af, but it actually looked cool when I actually saw it in the road.
I saw it in a bright blue color and it really looks unique and cool.
As they say! You gotta look at it before you see it. It's just me that says that lol.

I had to drive my friends prius once. I couldnt even tell if I turned it on. Its so quiet.
My favorite part of Prius tbh.
The Doofus Network Good luck driving a Tesla ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
AKzebraMiner it's going to be awesome driving a Tessa!
When i was trying it, I forgot to turn it off😂😂
Yes, that's what you get from electric cars!
I almost died at Toyotas logic with the sun visors
HappyListener50 this here is what we call a joke if you can't understand that you may need to see a doctor sweety
I assumed that sunglasses were the simple solution ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ at least here in CA (where the review was filmed, too) it just makes sense to carry a pair in your car. I guess the heat from the sun can still be an issue, though.
....... and the jerky brakes
I drive my prius like maniac.
All prius owners drive like maniacs. Just like BMW owners lane change with no indication.
Nah I don't do that I always signal to take a lane. I might be a menace driving but not putting blinkers on when turning is one thing I don't do.
Same, I usually try to not piss people off, but I don't fall in the "slow Prius driver" category,
My mom owns one and I drive it occasionally. I dont know why people hate on it so much. In SoCal, when will you ever have to drive 0-60 in 2.3 seconds in traffic?

got a chance to drive one today. what an amazing car!! bad image is totally gone now. i want one!!!
Love my Prius . Averaging 60 miles a gallon on my 2017 Prius
Unpopular Opinion: I actually like this version of the Prius. I now wait to have stones thrown at me.
Timothy Neu I do not like it but I will save your lives XD
You're not alone.
Timothy Neu and she will
Timothy Neu better than the older versions for sure
Imean... looks aside, it's undeniably the greatest Prius of all time.
As my friend pointed out, you're embarrassed to be seen getting in or out of the Prius, but feel good while inside. Just like a brothel
At 2:20, they're called an armrest for a reason, maybe if they were elbow rests they would have more cushion.
Every time the latest was sold, Prius criticized the design severely.
4 generation Prius would also be got used to seeing immediately.
An important thing should know the performance to have evolved remarkably.
I just love its design

I'll say it. You guys do great reviews.

To counter that I always drive it in power mode. Try that and you'll see it isn't so sluggish
@@gircakes No it doesn't. I average 65 mpg in mine over 50,000 miles.

Now excuse me while I wait for my Tesla 3 =)
How are you liking your M3?
I'm with the video. The sun visors should extend when they're on the side of the door. But, beyond that, it's a good car.
AWESOME I got one in white exterior and black interior with some white touch ups. Lovin it! I see supercarsuspects crashing and I never saw a Prius crashed and that gear shifter was awesome. BOOYAH Prius is now the king
The tail lights are dope honestly. Look exotic.

That's it I'm getting a Prius
Get a camry Hybrid, it has better power
yeah that one is good too. but the mpg on these Priuses is ridiculously good
no get a 1999 subaru impreza
but Priuses suck
HappyListener50 HOW
With the gas prices going up, this car is looking sexier than a Gallardo!!! 😍😍😍
One time a rented a car and got a Prius and managed to get it to 105 on the highway. I was thoroughly surprised.

what about Honda civics design, specifically the rear....it looks like they hired predator to make the ultimate decision...lol

Yeah it looks great! Put some nice rims on it and it'll be good to go
Bill Plaschka I have always appreciated the Prius for what it is; an honest car.
car guys who hates on a car are not real car guys.
"And look like an anime time machine" I loved that line
This new Prius is Dope. Only dislike is beeping when in reverse
If this is future of car design, I hate future
Thankfully, car companies like Tesla and Mazda still exist.
Do you every check out concept cars? I think you should lol
Hybrids are already the past, all electric like the Tesla Model 3 are the future.

Be patient with jeff, it's just trying to prove its manliness by hating eco-friendly cars.
Interesting that you like a car that requires both "+" and "-" to be functional, thus, making you non - sequitur... however still quite gay.
61? Go back to Elderly Acres.
I just got a 2017 toyota prius yesterday! Also iron maiden ,heck yea
fun and informative review! 😋 than ks guys!
Love your videos man.
The Prius is not a bad looking car. Hybrids and electrics are the future of automobiles. The gas guzzlers are just getting upset because 10 years from now they'll have to switch too.
Had one for two months, really pleased, love the styling inside and out, v good fuel consumption 70- 80 mpg and surprisingly quick.
Delighted with it.
Buying one this year can't wait
I like my Gen 3, the reviewer liked the Gen 3 too in his last review, he tore the Gen 4 apart.
I wanted to buy 2017 but I test drove it and seats on the side dig into my legs....seat is to narrow. Im 6'1 235...to bad other then that I liked it...
I saw one today that was purple with neon green accents on the belt line, and rims.
I projectile vomited and diarrhead myself instantly
damn bro , u OK?! lol
+Ernesto Ortega R Fuck that. I rather use my feet than driving a prius.
Timothy Neu blame it on the prius

I love my Toyota Prius 🤓🤓🤓 best car I ever had
u guys nailed it .
but i still believe that u can get the job done with more civilised car ... like the new Hyundai ion ( waiting for a test )
I love your videos, very entertaining
I like it so much that I bought one, same color RED but black gunmetal rims.
when one owns a raptor and and an srt-10 for years that both averaged 10 mpg...a prius sounds more sensible by the day
Hehe, when I saw that fine GoPro camera work at 1:50 , I figured it wouldn't make the final cut. :D
1:00 changing multiple lanes without stopping: that's a $200 ticket. Nice job
I'm still not convinced why I should choose this over the Pagani Zonda R?
Like you can afford one ☺
you don't say?
+Henry Angman I do say
It's about saving the earth, brother. That's aaaaaall that matters.
how old are you 10 ? still too young for you to drive kid
I have little interest in the car, but the video was wildly entertaining :)

When is Bruce from accounting getting his own TH-cam channel?
Did it hit the car while parallel parking?
+Fernando Leon no.
Fun light hearted review.
second gen prius was the best looking in my opinion
The only Toyota I ever liked was the Toyota Celica, but I like watching these videos just for the quirky remarks that Micah makes
Not even the Supra? LFA? RC F? IS F? GS F? MR2? Nothing?

Soooo... you don't consider us Americans well made reviews?? :P
0:41 - Let's consult the good book... LMFAO!
So for the parking, did you use Brake or Prius will do it for ya if it's close beeping fast.??
This is so funny when you're lit.
Wait, I didn't know iPhone supported wireless charging.
+Li Zhi Lol, it doesn't. If you look closely, you can see it isn't actually charging.
It can charge but necessary to charge stuff
It does now.
if you can't parallel park a car this small you have no business driving.
It's not necessarily a feature to do the work for someone, it's more like a relief feature.

Hello year 2021
Im proud of being a prius owner and NPR listener... not hateful, and a true stereotype
Whats NPR?
National Public Radio, is like BBC in England, is supposed to be the boring nerd radio (just like a Prius)
You guys use the same ending line from your Lexus LS review 4 years ago..haha
I own an Infiniti Q50 and a 2010 Prius as my daily driver. The infiniti is more fun to drive, but the prius is a better car.
I've only seen one on the road in the DC area so far. I don't think it's doing well - it needs an emergency refresh!
Hi serious question please. I’m interested in buying a hybrid car. Is Prius worth it? Or are there better hybrids than a Prius? I don’t know anything about hybrids. Reliable? Long lasting? I don’t care about looks, I’m just a college student trying to save money for gas and get from point A go point B.
Please let me know if there are better hybrids as per more mpg? Anything beat a Prius? Thanks
I would buy one...If I had the money.
If you invest every dollar the Prius saves you in fuel, the car pays for itself in about 16 years. No other car does that.
don't get the Nissan leaf it gets a poor rating in the IIHS small overlap crash test
can i overclock my prius to go faster
dam this car looks the BEST of Toyota!
