That’s just smart, I don’t know why more people don’t do that. When my wife and I were shopping for a Volvo XC40 some 6 years ago, we also took two large bins and a car seat to the dealership lol
The downside of the Prius is dealing with Toyota dealers. Most are trying to fleece customers by charging 3-5000 markups. After visiting the several Toyota dealers, I went to a Honda dealer purchased a Civic Hybrid at a 2000 discount off MSRP.
Yooooo! Emme is one of the greatest car reviewers of all time. When I saw this video and saw her I was in shock, as I hadn’t seen her review cars in YEARS. So glad that she’s still making content - y’all are absolutely lucky to have her!
I've been following Emme for a long time now. Love her style of reviewing vehicles. I sure hope Edmunds allow her to shine. Glad to see you're still around and doing what you love.
I don’t understand what she talking about. I test drove the Prius and the Civic Hybrid. I chose the Civic because it was much quieter over the Prius when I drove them.
Civic all day long. Sure the Prius gets a bit better MPG, but its not enough to make up for the power the Civic can put out, while still packing a no joke 50MPG.
Why are car journalists mental about AC vents?! They are there. They are under the seats, just like ALL vehicles have had for decades. You sont need to see them on the back of the armrest for them to exist. Its a small cabin. You dont need a million vents blowing in all different locations. The small space will maintain temp very easily.
Yeah, I’ve taken my kids on long road trips in the new Prius and they didn’t bother me once about the temperature. Hell, there used to be SUVs that had this ventilation setup and people didn’t whine about it then; this was a luxury feature.
Very important for dog owners, but so is a 3 zone climate control. Cold air sinks - hot air goes up. So that cold air coming from under the seats mostly stays there, especially if you have a doggy hammock over the back seats. I need cold air blasting at them so they don’t start panting
No mention that the Civic rear seats have no connectivity or vents. Unless Honda changed this for 2025, the driver's seat also doesn't have a lumbar adjustment. I wish I didn't need one, but a seat is uncomfortable for me without that basic amenity. Honda really needs to change that.
I recently bought the 2025 civic hybrind sport touring top trip it has lumber sport and rear vents under the front seats and on front of the back seats but you can’t control them indiviually but u have and they are functional with the front controls i love the car
I rented Prius when my car was in the shop. I felt that claustrophobic even when I'm the only one in the car and I"m short (5'7"). The roof line is very low and the dashboard is high. The windshield is very slopy. It doesn't feel roomy like previous gens, but that's the trade off you get for sportier looks. Everything else is good. I like it. I used to own 2019 Prius Limited so I do know what the previous gen was.
I took a really good look at both the civic hybrid hatchback vs. Prius hatchback and decided upon the Prius… I love my 2024 Prius… no problem with speedometer and I love the look ❤ PS- I also found the AWD on Prius made it handle a lot better than the civic as well as better than the FWD on the Prius itself
Civic hybrid hatchback! AND no annoying CVT, its an EV at low speeds and single speed direct connect to the engine at highway speeds for range/efficiency. Think Chevy Volt but better!
One of the reason I purchased my Prius was the ecvt. People don't know what it is. But after dumping $3k into a crap Ford explorer tranny, I want the simplicity of the ecvt. It also allow for combined output of the motor and engine at the wheels. It's a genius setup. Why you mention a Chevy Volt here is beyond me.
@@miltonhayek2494 I didn't like it. too much drone and doesn't snap to the proper power immediately (the WHOLE point of eCVT) when you need to get out of somebody's way in a hurry. I e you floor it, max power to the wheels within .02 seconds, thhen holds the power until you lift as it aggressively accelerates. The volt was supposed to be driven by electric motors only, then GM let slip that the engine drives the wheels too Honda did what GM did but this time it's WAYY better .The only time the Honda engine is engaged is inside of its peak efficiency curve directly to the wheels with a wet clutch. At all other times the engine is operating simply as a generator sipping fuel to provide power to the battery that then drive the electric motors. It's an extended range EV for all intents and purposes it town EV, then on the highway (where EV struggle due to battery size/ energy per LB) it direct drives the wheels with no losses, and uses any additional power to charge the battery that drives the wheels with the motors to reduce fuel useage.
@duramaxadventures5832 I'm not trying to sound dismissive, but you need to learn more about the physics. The Toyota uses the ecvt because of its simplicity, and that you can utilize two power sources simultaneously. It is not a bonus to fail on the direct utilization of the power of the engine. The Honda does get around the drone. But at a loss of available power and added complexity to the "transmission." Neither of these are EVs. Transitioning power from physical, to stored electric, and back to physical isn't good. It's a loss. The point is to turn off the extra power when not needed and have additional power when required. It's capturing the power most cars just opt to throw out because they have no means to store it. That's said. The only companies I'd consider buying a hybrid are Toyota and Honda. Imagine buying a hybrid jeep?
I just went from a Corolla SE Hybrid to a Civic sport touring hybrid. I'm getting the exact same 42.3 miles per gallon average. It's been as high as 51.7 on the Civic but I've been giving it the beans testing it out a bit in the canyons. I had planned on getting a Prius but the rear visibility is awful and the Civic feels much more sizable substantial and spacious. I tested them all extensively with untold numbers of test drives alone in the car for me the Civic was far superior.
@Mark-ei8fy The Corolla had irritating rattling coming from the seat belt height adjusters but nothing yet in the Civic. I just prefer the quieter cabin with the Civic and the more substantial feel overall. Feels like I jumped up a class of car for sure. I really liked the Corolla great car. But I am loving the Civic so far. There is no glaring things I feel I am missing or could want. Maybe more comfortable seats they are pretty firm. Mileage sitting at 52mpg currently. A big one is steering feel and response. Civic has multiple settings for steering feel and it feels great. Corolla is light empty road feedback through the steering wheel. That is one major difference. For me I would only consider any Corolla if I was doing commuting or almost no driving. If you enjoy driving it's a pretty empty experience. It's a utility car but it doesn't offer much else than basic transportation. The one place where the Corolla was a head is the adaptive cruise control and land-cape assist automations. Toyota just seems to have that much more polished and fleshed out. I'm much preferred Toyota's adaptive cruise control and that one's not very close. The Corolla had a pretty bad build quality, The gaps on body panels and the alignment on the doors left a whole lot to be desired. Toyota seem to put all of their money in that car into engineering the drivetrain but the construction of the shell and the outer body of the car comes across as very very poor and mine was built in Japan which I thought would turn out better than it did. The paint was so thin I remember remarking that I would have never bought the car if I had known the paint was so poor on the Toyota.
@@Brdsh0t Thanks for that details response! Im definitely have experienced some of those shortcomings. The seat-belt rattle and a few others now as well. I think youre totally right about a great drive train and engine but almost feels like they skimped out on the details and other items. Thanks again!
For exterior styling, I'd pick the Prius hands down. Everything else I prefer the Civic Hybrid. Here in BC Canada we get $7000 CDN (~$5000 USD) rebate for the Prius Prime (plug-in) but not the regular Prius. With incentive the Prius Prime is a better buy than the regular version and becomes the direct competitor of the Civic. Both are fine commuter cars so it just comes down to personal preferences.
Prius drivers were always a sour spot in my days as a truck driver. They get in front of you and do not move . You can't drive around them because your truck is governed at 70 mph . They will get in front of you and oddly drive at a speed that slows you down and you can't pass them. So annoying.
I don't know why the prius designers did not consider the Western people a larger average height when designing the roof of the car. What harm could it do to the cd (co-efficienct of drag) or looks of the car if they increased the height of the roof line, especially near the rear end.
The main reason I'd pick the Prius is looks; the Civic sedan looks homely and nondescript in comparison, though the hatchback version improves on that somewhat. In other aspects, the differences between the two cars are not large enough to sway my opinion one way of the other. So, it's the Prius for me based on looks, and also a more proven track record for reliability.
Ratings have changed since then, I believe they're rated in the high 40s now. You can't compare a 40 year old tin can to a modern car with all its safety, tech and other improvements that still gets similar if not better mileage all while being quicker as well. Not hating on the old cars as I'm a huge fan of them, but your comparison is flawed
@UmarTheGreat10 show me a tin can, and I'll show you how it can run circles around new cars. They want you to believe new cars are better, but sadly, they are not. Structurally, they might be better, but all the new tech makes them more dangerous than the old tin cans you speak of... you know what I'm talking about. Screens that fail every couple years, batteries that go dead on the road and then you are stranded and risk of death, because you can't release the electronic parking brake to push it to the side; adaptive cruise control that puts you sleep and dead/late for your time with your kids because cruise control slowly adapted to the guy going 60 then another going 40 then another going 20; lane assist that saved you from touching the lines but heaven forbid there is a sharp curve and you just flew off the highway; etc etc etc... and you heard that a hiper miler did 95mpg going cross country... well, google it. People have done over 120mpg gling crosd country in the old tin cans. Real-life experience will show you that 50mpg in an old tin can does happen and apparently same with the new car.
Although the Pruis have tone down it looks a bit and is much more attractive compared to the previous model. I still like the conventional looks of the Civic Hybrid more.
Honda hybrids historically have been abysmal. I would never trust a Honda hybrid. Honda quality has really dropped off in the last 15 years. Screw that crap. The Prius looks so much better
As usual... The TOYOTA LOOKS GOOD AND HAS NO EXCITEMENT. at least in the Honda u can say, I'M DRIVING A HYBRID THAT'S FASTER THAN AN Si CIVIC... SAD BUT TRUE
Damn, that is the most annoying woman I ever heard. I feel for her husband. Rumor has it her husband bought the Prius, took off, and we never saw him again.
I have the Prius. It's a great car. I drive it so much I'm selling my 911. That's no joke. Yea, it's not as powerful. But it's still a fun drive, and costs 1/3 the price per mile.
@@miltonhayek2494 I've read that about the current Prius. My question is aimed at the reviewer. You drove both cars - how did the handling traits compare?
@jimiverson3085 I haven't drove both. I have owned several sports cars. I currently own a 911. Of course, the Prius isn't at that level of speed. But the handling is pretty good. The suspension is nice. It picks up speed at a fair pace. As fast as my old Taurus. But the low profile tires reduce the milage and make the ride rougher. But at least it's getting where it's available.
Different sectors both of those cars, they don’t compete in this class. These are compact cars. Sonata is classed as midsize thing Camry competitor, the leaf is like Kia niro competitor sub compact class.
Here is a warning to all of you these twits dont talk about, and that is battery warranty, hybrid EV both have batteries that have a certain lifespan. They never mentioned the warranties at all in these so called reviews who has a better one for example. I learned the hard way with my last prius v batteries were going bad still under warranty almost 100k miles and toyota would not cover the batteries as they were "not bad enough" so I dumped it as batteries were $8k at the time and the car was worth 13 at best...so DO NOT buy a hybrid anything unless you look at the battery warranty, no matter honda toyota or any brand, and so many EVs and hybrids at the scrap yards due to battery failure...throw away cars people Ill wait till a solid state battery comes out and Ive owned 3 hybrids..good luck
The base Prius is the best deal. Prius looks way better. The civic is a dated design. And made in Japan Toyota quality. Civic's DI engine is not as reliable.
Seems pretty competitive according to this fairly comprehensive review (8.0 vs 8.2).. Seems like a decent option depending on the fine details and preferences someone has.
@@naveenthemachine sure we can disagree and though I might lean towards Civic myself as well, to me there is still plenty of difference that others may prefer one over the other.
My family drove hybrids for decades and we favored the Prius over them all! Having said that, we now drive EV’s and Tesla is far and above the best overall. I can’t imagine having having to go back to a boring Prius😩
Other than power, I'm not a Tesla fan. No manual controls, fit and finish is still garbage, tires and insurance eat up possible savings, road trips still 30% longer for charging, and they all look like bottlenose dolphins. And still cost $10k more before government kickbacks. Soon EVs may have the edge. But the Tesla is the only one I'd buy... But not yet.
It’s actually the correct comparison as civic hybrid better than Corolla hybrid. Can’t compare to Camry as that is a larger sedan so compare that to Accord hybrid!
Not sure about the Prius buy I already checked on this new Civic Hybrid. Some dealers in S. California like Airport Marina Honda and Culver City Honda has a dealer mark up on the Civic Hybrid from $5k-$8k. $10k plus if you want a Civic Type R.
@Brdsh0t really? A Hybrid Honda Civic for $1300 under msrp? In Riverside? What's the name of the dealership? Maybe I'll take a drive that way. The dealers here are bold enough to post market adjustment (i.e. mark up) right alongside the window sticker.
@mrninesixteenth3106 I'll send you a PM later with the details and I can hook you up with my exact salesman. I'm at a restaurant right now and Don't have the details on me. Oh my dealer had thousands of dollars of stuff they wanted to add on I just refused to pay that. The great thing is they let me keep all of the stuff so I made out great.
more like 40k out of the door for xle with roof and minimal addons like cables and stuff, oh, and unavoidable 2k pro pack bs, 9.5% apr with perfect score too! they try to get you everywhere
Seth, tell me without telling me that you get your sense of self-esteem vicariously from fantasizing that a politician who sadistically torments the powerless cares any more about you than about them. Get Viagra. Get counseling.
The woman was REALLY annoying so I fast forwarded to the end. But, it is not just her. A bunch of your journalists try to be funny (and are not!!!). Just give us the information.
What does politics have to do with being a hypermiling wacko? I’m sure he’d agree, it takes a certain type of person to commit to that tedious of a task.
In this close contest, which one of these fuel-efficient sedans would you pick and why? Let us know in the comments!
Since the Civic is now pretty big and in a similar price bracket, I'd like to see this Civic Hybrid compared with the all-hybrid Camry LE and SE.
I like the Civic in hatchback better than the Prius. It looks better and it is more powerful. The gas mileage difference is negligible.
Love this woman. I took laundry basket to a dealership because of her, best way to measure cargo space needed😅
A lot of energy and enthusiasm for someone her “age” 😂
That’s just smart, I don’t know why more people don’t do that. When my wife and I were shopping for a Volvo XC40 some 6 years ago, we also took two large bins and a car seat to the dealership lol

Emme, where the hell have you been? Almost didn't recognize you. Is CNET dead? Haven't seen Brian Cooley either.
I choose the Civic Sport Touring Hatch in Solar Silver. Its been amazing so far. Getting 50 mpg city and only pay about 22 dollars for a full tank....
I don’t understand what she talking about. I test drove the Prius and the Civic Hybrid. I chose the Civic because it was much quieter over the Prius when I drove them.
Emme looks fantastic! So great to see her reviews.
how is 50 mpg "really not that great" for a hybrid? civic wins on every category in my opinion. the car really has zip and the handling is awesome.
Civic all day long. Sure the Prius gets a bit better MPG, but its not enough to make up for the power the Civic can put out, while still packing a no joke 50MPG.
Civic Hatch Hybrid = King 👑
It's fascinating how Honda styling went from outrageous to vanilla and Toyotas were dull for decades and lately getting stylish.
Why are car journalists mental about AC vents?! They are there. They are under the seats, just like ALL vehicles have had for decades. You sont need to see them on the back of the armrest for them to exist. Its a small cabin. You dont need a million vents blowing in all different locations. The small space will maintain temp very easily.
Yeah, I’ve taken my kids on long road trips in the new Prius and they didn’t bother me once about the temperature. Hell, there used to be SUVs that had this ventilation setup and people didn’t whine about it then; this was a luxury feature.
Very important for dog owners, but so is a 3 zone climate control.
Cold air sinks - hot air goes up. So that cold air coming from under the seats mostly stays there, especially if you have a doggy hammock over the back seats.
I need cold air blasting at them so they don’t start panting

Civic, the second row have more head room.
No mention that the Civic rear seats have no connectivity or vents. Unless Honda changed this for 2025, the driver's seat also doesn't have a lumbar adjustment. I wish I didn't need one, but a seat is uncomfortable for me without that basic amenity. Honda really needs to change that.
@@wbwayne8887 the Prius shown didn’t have rear AC vents either I think

Different sectors both of those cars, they don’t compete in this class. These are compact cars. Sonata is classed as midsize thing Camry competitor, the leaf is like Kia niro competitor sub compact class.
Also, Leaf is a pure EV.
Here is a warning to all of you these twits dont talk about, and that is battery warranty, hybrid EV both have batteries that have a certain lifespan. They never mentioned the warranties at all in these so called reviews who has a better one for example. I learned the hard way with my last prius v batteries were going bad still under warranty almost 100k miles and toyota would not cover the batteries as they were "not bad enough" so I dumped it as batteries were $8k at the time and the car was worth 13 at best...so DO NOT buy a hybrid anything unless you look at the battery warranty, no matter honda toyota or any brand, and so many EVs and hybrids at the scrap yards due to battery failure...throw away cars people Ill wait till a solid state battery comes out and Ive owned 3 hybrids..good luck
Google in my car? No thanks!!! I would pay extra to get that surveillance OUT of my life, not pay more to have it.
Awesome
I love the design of the Prius and that it has optional AWD.
I noticed they only test honda and toyota cars hyundai sonata limited is way better than prius and civic
The base Prius is the best deal. Prius looks way better. The civic is a dated design. And made in Japan Toyota quality. Civic's DI engine is not as reliable.
Emme are y back to yelling
Her hair is long😮 last time i saw her it was short❤
This is cringe. You won't be carrying those coolers in the hatch anyway unless you wish to get scratches in the rear window...
I'll walk instead
Why not compare apples to apples ie the honda civic hybrid hatch
I’ll take the civic as it’s not an uncompetitive Toyota that’s uncomfortable and boring
Seems pretty competitive according to this fairly comprehensive review (8.0 vs 8.2).. Seems like a decent option depending on the fine details and preferences someone has.
@ but the Prius is cramped and the interior looks rather cheap for its price tag.
@@naveenthemachine I think my prior comment still stands that there is room in the market for both of these rather decent choices.
@ had the Prius been roomier and not as expensive I’d agree
@@naveenthemachine sure we can disagree and though I might lean towards Civic myself as well, to me there is still plenty of difference that others may prefer one over the other.
My family drove hybrids for decades and we favored the Prius over them all! Having said that, we now drive EV’s and Tesla is far and above the best overall. I can’t imagine having having to go back to a boring Prius😩
Other than power, I'm not a Tesla fan. No manual controls, fit and finish is still garbage, tires and insurance eat up possible savings, road trips still 30% longer for charging, and they all look like bottlenose dolphins. And still cost $10k more before government kickbacks. Soon EVs may have the edge. But the Tesla is the only one I'd buy... But not yet.
Why are you yelling?
Not a good comparison, the Civic is the same price as the Camry Hybrid. The Accord Hybrid should have went against the Prius.
getting a toyota crown
It’s actually the correct comparison as civic hybrid better than Corolla hybrid. Can’t compare to Camry as that is a larger sedan so compare that to Accord hybrid!
Not sure about the Prius buy I already checked on this new Civic Hybrid. Some dealers in S. California like Airport Marina Honda and Culver City Honda has a dealer mark up on the Civic Hybrid from $5k-$8k. $10k plus if you want a Civic Type R.
I got mine just days ago for $1300 under MSRP in Riverside County
@Brdsh0t really? A Hybrid Honda Civic for $1300 under msrp? In Riverside? What's the name of the dealership? Maybe I'll take a drive that way. The dealers here are bold enough to post market adjustment (i.e. mark up) right alongside the window sticker.
@mrninesixteenth3106 I'll send you a PM later with the details and I can hook you up with my exact salesman. I'm at a restaurant right now and Don't have the details on me. Oh my dealer had thousands of dollars of stuff they wanted to add on I just refused to pay that. The great thing is they let me keep all of the stuff so I made out great.
@@mrninesixteenth3106 some prices are going down, bought prius xle last year, now they're sold 2k under msrp, 3k for new camry
I stop watching after 2min, pruis win so essy video over.
35K is affordable ? Lol 😅
more like 40k out of the door for xle with roof and minimal addons like cables and stuff, oh, and unavoidable 2k pro pack bs, 9.5% apr with perfect score too! they try to get you everywhere
Honda civic looking way better than ugly Toyota Prius
Toyota
I was with you.... For about 30 seconds until you said the prius was the Edmunds top rated car, full stop. Credibility now gone.
She might as well have said 'no cap' lol. She got better after that at least
Please keep infatuated exaggerating liberals from reviewing cars before my beloved Uncle Donnie T deports annoying demonstrations like this.
Seth, tell me without telling me that you get your sense of self-esteem vicariously from fantasizing that a politician who sadistically torments the powerless cares any more about you than about them. Get Viagra. Get counseling.
The woman was REALLY annoying so I fast forwarded to the end. But, it is not just her. A bunch of your journalists try to be funny (and are not!!!). Just give us the information.
Hey, just watch a different channel don’t be a jerk sheesh. You literally can choose to just be quiet and kind and move on. 🙏🏾
Just unnecessary to be rude just for the sake of sharing your opinion that isn’t necessary to share.
You shut your mouth, Emme Hall is a legend.
I thought she did well. She has a lot of energy and zest. I think you should watch ASMR videos and POV videos where there is no talking 😅
She’s loud and very annoying. These are car reviews not voice loud reviews
Did you just call Wayne Gerdes a wacko? Sure, the guy is a liberal but...but...okay. Now I'm conflicted.
What does politics have to do with being a hypermiling wacko? I’m sure he’d agree, it takes a certain type of person to commit to that tedious of a task.
prius is the top pick of all cars? I'm out...
I find her to be annoying
The mic is set high.
2025 Civic Hybrid has terrible sit. Can cause back pain after 10 mins of driving its too hard zero comfort
Edmunds sucks
Civic because better driving car.
