Loved my 2006 Prius and love my 2016. Design is amazing and unique. So futuristic and a great drive. Love this car, a Prius driver for life!💙

Great car! Yes get rid of the white plastic trim. Our 6th Prius 2016 $20,599.00 pls tax in CA. I have never understood the ugly comment. I buy a car for the MPG and clean air quality.

We bought a new 2015 instead of the 2016. There were several changes Toyota made that didn't please me. We have 2 Prius cars now but we may switch away the next time. The white accents are a major turn off for me. I've never liked the gauges in the center. Some 2016 models come without a spare tire. Rear seat leg room is important. I would prefer a taller rather than shorter car with a more vertical drivers seat. Toyota eliminated the second glove box, and the single glove box is smaller. No 12V outlet under the dash.

i have a 2009 prius and love it but its getting up there in miles i would like a new prius but i don't like the display being in the middle. I've also thought about switching to a crossover just for more space but I'm at a lost on what to do.

Yes, the P4 is still the king. Also the bestlooking one. Own one for over 3,5 years now, no problems - no wonder, has an unbeatable efficieny which is the result of an ongoing development of the initial hybrid thought over 20 years now. A car that is build around the Hybrid System. Not the other way round like all other hybrids, which are contributions to "modern times", in which everyone seems to think, well hybrids are flashy and sellable, let's build one until e-cars totally will take over! Something I will hopefully not experience in my remaining lifetime, I guess.

I've been driving one of these for the past 4 months while in the UK for work. It's right hand drive, but basically the same. I normally drive a VW e-Golf at home. The Prius is weird, as a gas 'saver' it does it's job, but they don't take advantage of the EV motor enough . As an EV driver I found the EV mode in the Prius to be absolutely useless. If you mildly press the accelerator it shuts off for what it deems 'excessive acceleration'.... If you are going over 20mph it shuts off for 'excessive speed'.... If you are in 'B' mode it won't engage.... In fact 95% of the time it was unavailable for some random reason.....very frustrating. It does have 3 drive modes, normal, Eco, and 'power'. Once I discovered power mode I put it in power mode always, otherwise it's sluggish at best and needs to have power mode as a drop in mode if you mash the pedal for safety reasons IMO. ( the E-Golf does this where it automatically goes into full power mode if you mash the pedal). The interior is roomy, but otherwise cheap, lots of hard plastics, shapeless seats and the white painted sections are stolen from a Chevy Volt. The HUD display is a must have because the dials are off center otherwise. the adaptive cruise was decent, and the rear camera was well placed but too exposed and gets wet and dirty, (again another thing the e-Golf does better, where the rear camera is hidden away behind the rear VW badge and only pops out when in reverse.) the rear wiper was in the same place as the left hand drive car, so in right hand versions it's visible in the mirror and often confused with a car in your blind spot, and the area it wipes is useless. The exterior is frankly hideous, the front has too many things going on while the sides have very little and the rear is from a completely different styled car! Not to mention the awkward a pillar crease just randomly diving into the fender with no relation or pick up to anything else, making it look like a mistake. In all it's a weird car for those who only care about saving gas, but not brave enough to buy a full EV, and have little care for style...

Wow! You literally wrote an entire review. Nice. You're right about the new Prius' styling. It's just plain weird. Comparing it to an EV, such as the E-Golf, is kind of like comparing apples to oranges, but not quite on the scale of EVs vs. conventional gas-engined cars. The Prius hybrid and E-Golf simply work differently, technically speaking. What I think is a better comparison is the new Chevy Volt vs. the new Prius. Why? Because they both have small, conventional gas engines linked to a battery pack, but here's the big difference: the Volt's engine acts as a generator to power the electric motors whereas the engine and battery packs in the Prius work in conjunction with one another to achieve the best possible fuel economy. If you wanted to see lots and lots of interior plastics, you should have seen the previous Prius! It literally was like driving around in a big piece of plastic.

CarBuzz - Unboxing Everyday Cars and Supercars the thing that I found most annoying is that I know how powerful and FUN electric motors are, and that the Prius doesn't use it in a good(or fun) way. I mean you seriously cannot NOT drive in EV mode for more than a 30 seconds, because either it is 'not available' , you hit a bump, or if you TRY to keep within the EV mode accelerator range you have to give up in about 20 feet because the car behind you is honking because you are going so slow... so I don't know why they don't let the electric motor take over for the starting acceleration (where EV's are great at) and then bring in the gas burner for higher speeds (like over 40mph) Just goes to show once you go EV you can't go back, and driving a Prius is even worse...

Here's the thing: the Prius NEVER was nor ever will be a fun car to drive. Period. It's not an EV. It's a hybrid with a fairly conservative hybrid system at that. The Volt has a more revolutionary system, for example. The Prius, despite having hybrid tech, is nothing more than basic transportation that's extremely fuel efficient. Drivers, such as yourself, who like to have fun behind the wheel should look elsewhere. But for those who want a car that's extremely reliable, well-built, roomy, affordable and, above all, VERY fuel efficient, there's the Prius. I'm pretty sure you'll dig the upcoming Tesla Model 3. Bottom line: we need to accept the Prius for what it is and what it isn't.

When you push the pedal hard, both gas and electric motors are pulling at the same time. Find a stretch and hold the accelerator to the floor (all the way to the floor) until the electronic speed limit level (120ish). My gen 3 keeps puilling hard well after 60 and IS fun.

+Chris Foran thanks Chris, but trust me, I peg my foot to the floor several times a day, and I wouldn't call the acceleration 'hard'.... Also one other note that's a real concern is the appalling low beam headlight throw.... I mean it goes out about 30 feet and then stops with a hard v shaped line into blackness.... Seriously poor. Driving with those on narrow English B roads is scary, had to ride the high beams the instant an oncoming car was passed....

Not gonna lie, it looks ugly. You mentioned that the model you were looking at totalled around $33000. This makes me wonder why, at that point, you wouldn't just go the extra mile and buy a Tesla Model 3 for 35k? It looks much better, it is very futuristic and, judging by the other Tesla's, it will also be safe.
