2023 Toyota Prius Review // Full Of Secrets

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The 2023 Toyota Prius ($42,990 as specced in Canada, $35,865 as specced in the US) is here with a bold new look and aims to impress. Beyond its sharp exterior styling is a larger 2.0 L engine which is capable of up to 196 horsepower, and comes with standard AWD (in Canada). Also with a base MSRP of just $27,450 in the US ($36,490 in Canada), the new Toyota Prius hopes to appeal to a wide range of buyers. But how is it to drive and live with on a day to day basis? And is a Prius…cool now? Thomas and James explore the ins and outs of this new hybrid, and try to determine if they think a Prius has a newfound pizzazz. We hope you enjoy the episode!

    how about a aftermarket for hydrallic communicative steering so its not a lot of effort to use but it still gives confidence on where grip limit is, to allow minimizing braking and smooth steering for fuel effeincy and longevity of regenrative brake sys, brake pads, tires etc. it may cost less energy to run overall but i dont know if the that energy can be harnessed with aftermarket system because the electronics. itd at least be appealing when the warranty deal no longer applies. pedal mechanicla resistence maybe changed too, but i guess thats not worth changing. theres a lot that probably oculdve been better, this is a lazy done product they milking, not worth buying even in terms of emissions and all that beause it takes emission and stuff to make new cars.

    I love my Gen 4. Out of every vehicle I’ve owned(SUVs, trucks, wagons, sedans), practically speaking, this is hands down the best car. Inexpensive oil changes, plenty of space, cool tech, easy to drive, comfortable, killer MPG and I can lift it for access to off-road terrain or lower it for a more sporty experience in the handling. It’s not a BMW, nor a Porsche. But if you want to be wise and have 0 worries about transportation, get a Prius. You’re welcome Toyota, will you please pay off my Prius now 🤣

But in the five years of driving the Prius it saved me a ton of money so much in fact I was able to get a 2022 Cayman GTS manual.

    @@ragweedmakesmesneeze Prius hate is actually real, needed, and downright warranted. The hate didn’t originate because of the car. It originated because of its general spec of drivers. Their self entitlement, their lack of courtesy, their oblivion mindset while driving, their pompous attitudes…this all has originated from the drivers themselves in general. Not all Prius owners are like this, but the majority are. If you buy a Prius, you have to be prepared that those who bought Prius’s before you, have paved the way for you to be hated on the road. I drive for DoorDash, UberEats, Instacart, and Walmart Spark. I would say 1 out of 20 Prius drivers actually drive quickly, keep up with traffic, and are aware of their driving environment. The rest of the 19 out of 20 are completely opposite, and are causators of traffic. “Don’t plan on getting anywhere if you’re stuck behind a Prius.” “Better be fully aware of that Prius driver by you if you don’t want to get hit.” These are things that immediately go through my head when I see a Prius. Like I said, it’s not about the car, because you are right, it’s probably the most important car that’s ever come out in the last 25 years. But it’s drivers have completely ruined it…

    For a regular, non-exciting car, I never quite understand why anyone wouldn't buy a Toyota (or Lexus). Few things are more relaxing than knowing you're always going to get where you're going.

Sure a Mazda 3 is more fun than most cars in its class, but we're still talking a "boring ass" class of cars- that's what I meant about the tofu and paint. Anyone whose main priority is fun, probably isn't buying a family hatchback unless it's a hot one. Many people will disagree, but no matter how many people tell me their diesel Golf is fun, it will never be any more true than me saying I'm the ruler of Zimbabwe. 95% of people also couldn't recognise good handling in a car anyway. That's the target market of most cars, hence everyone buying SUVs which are all about as fun as being stabbed. For those people, the Prius is fantastic, the fact a Mazda is more fun is totally irrelevant, like offering a fine wine to a chimp.

    TH has been, for a while now, the best channel in this genre on KZread (I know because I watch them ALL). But the crew hasn’t stopped improving the content with better writing and production- and this has really allowed Thomas and James to shine as presenters and entertainers. All the comparisons in the comments to the GOAT Top Gear are 100% justified. Outstanding work, guys, I’d subscribe twice if I could. Thank you!

No matter what they’re both always somehow in a poverty spec. 🤷🏼‍♂️ ALWAYS! 🤣 😈 One day if the Devil gives me a choice in hell between those two cars I’d definitely choose the Prius because at least then everyone will know that I’ve got a nasty little mangina.

    Great review. Thanks. It will be interesting to see what real-world mileage is like. As a transportation product, this Prius is a near-center-target hit! I've driven many of these over the years and the best thing about them (besides legendary reliability and v. low running costs) is they basically disappear - and that's NOT damning with feint praise. Great everyday, device, and love the fact they put so much effort into the design. Seeing it everyday will at least provide some level of emotional joy :).

    I have a 2012 Pruis, it still rides like it's almost brand new. I still have the original auxiliary car battery up in the engine ( most last about 6-7 years before you have to replace them ), still rides well on its original suspension ( 141,000 miles on it ). Most people that I know who ask to drive it say it's quicker than they thought. The only thing I've had to replace was the windshield washer motor for the fluid sprayer( two years ago), the cost was about $140 for taking it out and putting in the new part, and I used the heck out of the factory CD player ( rarely used the radio). The CD player lasted 9 years and failed to eject or play CDs, it had several thousand hours of use. I put in an aftermarket Cd player. If you review high-end and $ 40,000-plus cars every week its never going to be your favorite car to drive. It is similar to a great friend it rarely if ever lets you down. I don't drive slow like most Prius drivers, I've had the car up to very high speeds as I was failing to keep up with a brand new 2015 Corvette Stingray. They say it's governed at 114 but I looked at the speedo while chasing the corvette and I was going well over that ( they probably forgot to put the governor on my car), without a lot of vibration and it still felt like it could go 10-15 mph faster. The corvette driver waved at me and couldn't believe the Pruis had those speeds in her. It climbs mountain passes here in Colorado very well. The car's light has good headroom, I'm 6'1".The way I drive, the car gets about 45 Mpg in the summer and 39 in the cold winter months. The first two years I drove it, I liked to see how much gas I could save most of the time, at that time I would get 53 miles per gallon. I had a beautiful 2001 Toyota Tacoma V6 SR5 Pearl Jade TRD truck ( loved that truck) and I still feel like the Prius is my favorite vehicle I have ever owned. When I want to have a faster car for a day or two I rent Audi, and if I want a more refined car I rent a Lexus or a sports car. Lastly, I have had my Pruis here in my home state of Colorado in some pretty bad snow storms and it climbed four passes in storm ( One day) and it was rare to have any wheel slip ( the tires were close to the end of their life too). I still have the car and don't plan on buying anything new any time soon ( saved thousands on gas). It has a lot of storage space, especially the hatchback that I have. Best day to everyone.
