The yellow colour looks better in pictures and on video than IRL I'm afraid. It looks OK now. Actually better than many cars nowadays. Pricing in Belgium is downright ridiculous. Every colour is an option, and the 19" wheels are a forced option - all in all 4000€ in addition to a 48000€ starting price

It’s almost as if somebody told the Toyota designers “you know, it doesn’t HAVE to be ugly” and they all replied “oh, we didn’t know that”

Maybe I should start working on my US network and come over to do some car reviews over there. It's going on my to do list! ✌️😄

I’ve owned my share of sports cars. BMWs, mustang, Camaro, Miata, 370z, and many sport bikes. I also owned a 2011 Prius. That car is still one of my favorites. Actually fun to drive, great handling, peppy, comfortable, economical, and stupid reliable. People don’t give this car enough credit. At this point in life, I’m totally okay having a usably fun comfortable car and saving the hooligan stuff for when I’m on my Aprilia.

Awesome videos! I just saw your channel. How's the NVH of this car compared to other compacts?

Wow, so many questions answered without a word. What a great review! I got the best feel for this car of any other review. One thing I've never understood though are all the remarks people make that test drive Toyota hybrids is how they are "not a fan" of the hybrid CVT sound. I mean, the CVT itself is silent. It's just the engine sound being throaty and building in voracity as the speed increases. Many describe this as "droning." I don't get it. I own a Gen 8 Camry hybrid that sounds and performs much like this Prius. Maybe not "quite" as fast as your Prime there, but just as fast as the standard 23 Prius. I think it sounds awesome when I get on it. Nobody seems to complain about the sound of an airplane, or a boat, or snowmobile or jet ski when they take off. No gears are required on them just as no gears are required on a hybrid. Imagine being on an airliner and as it takes off pinning you in your seat wishing you could hear it "rowing" through the gears. Not likely. You just enjoy it for what it is and are wowed by it. People need to wrap their head around new technology and appreciate and enjoy it for what it is. Change is good sometimes. But thank you for a GREAT review. 😊

@johnnypovdrives

5 ай бұрын

Thank you for the kind words! Nice way of putting it, you make me appreciate the CVT concept a bit more, I compare it to a classic gear box and that might not be the best way. Guess we just tend to like most what we're used to. Love this comment, thanks!

@otomoravec1732

4 ай бұрын

I have to comment on this as well. I am a toyota hybrid owner and I think they should have worked harder to make the engine less noisy. It IS annoying sometimes. However, that is not the fault of the "CVT". (e-CVT is actually only a virtual CVT and is mechanically absolutely different). There are engineering reasons behind this. And a fair bit of psychology as well actually. People (not only laymen, car folks as well) look at the concept of a gearbox from a completely wrong angle. Internal combustion piston engines are inherently limited in their operation. They cannot go from zero to (say) 30 000 rpm. This is the only reason clutches and multiple-ratio gearboxes had to be invented - to compensate for the ICE deficiencies. Fun sidenote - watch how steam locomotives accelerate from standstill. The steam piston engine CAN start from zero revs, but it is pretty harsh. Once it is moving, it only has one available gearing ratio, since the axle is the crankshaft basically (and the gear ratio is given by the wheel diameter). You can emulate this in an older MT car - just put the first gear in with the engine off and THEN start to crank it. It will start moving by using the starter motor and once it fires up, you go. Hardcore offroaders actually do this on purpose in extremely specific situations. I am simplifying here, but the way toyota devised their hybrid system allows the ICE to be sort of disconnected from the driven wheels. The ratio is not fixed. The engine is noisy because it is naturally aspirated and has to spin quickly. NA angine is torque-limited and the only way to achieve higher power (for given displacement) is to increase revs. (this is something a turbocharged engine can overcome, as it can increase torque by adding boost so it does not need higher revs to achieve higher power. Also a turbo serves as a sound muffler by itself, which helps). In my older Honda or BMW, when I needed to overtake, I would go from fifth to third and pedal to the metal. Was it noisy? It was. Admittedly, it was a much nicer sound then a toyota hybrid produces under full or moderate power. But the principle applies the same. So yes, toyota hybrids are sort of noisy. Is it because of the CVT? No not really. Toyota hybrids are noisy because toyota developers know that most of their customers can tolerate it and some maybe do not care. They probably even calculated that making the engine quieter would be too expensive and there would not be enough new customers to compensate for the costs. It's just that our cars have been doing the 1-2-3-4-5 since always and people got absolutelly used to it, attached even. Maybe we like it the same way we like music, I suppose. As EVs demonstrate, the art of shifting gears will soon be made obsolete. (Oh by the way, even EVs DO NEED multiple-ratio gearboxes to broaden their capabilities - just look at Porsche Taycan and Mercedes AMG - they use 2-speed transmissions for their e-motors).

No issues so far and plan to keep for a good while until it's the right time to trade up. Toyota really has done a great job on the Prius design wise and performance. I'm quite impressed.
