The most underrated feature these days is not hiding climate control behind the touchscreens.

I feel this is a must buy car for anyone looking to buy hybrid recently

[gns]

For the first time ever, I would actually buy a Prius and not hate myself.

[iggibars]

This is going to sell like HOT CAKES!! It's just a great package all around- great options, good comport, great hybrid efficiency, efficient awd system, and great looks! That's a great recipe for sales IMO!

Two great PNW based auto reviewers in one video? Cool! Thanks, guys!
Never thought I'd become a Prius guy, but: 200-ish hp, awd, awesome mpg's, and cooled seats?
Yup, think I'm gonna get one. (Gonna keep my FJ, too, though. ;)

Was awesome seeing two of my favorite car reviewers in the same video! Do this more often.

I have a 2020 Limited Prime. This is my 3rd Prius. I like driving small cars. I really don’t mind the looks of it. It’s a Titanium Glow exterior/ black interior. I plug it in at night. The electric only is very peppy. I average 75 MPG. The car stickered for $34, 800. The Northeast Region for Toyota had a $4500 rebate on it. Then I got a federal tax rebate for $4502, because it was a plug-in. So I got the car for $26K. It drives nice and smooth. I have a 6 speed Porsche if I need to drive fast. So I’m very happy with my 2020. I’m a car guy. I’ve owned every high end car made. I don’t really care for the shortened rear look of the 23…. I think for the money, Toyota is the best car to own… You guys did a good video, very informative…

They did a great job on the new design, very attractive vehicle.

Ryan and Tom, Earlier today another Youtube reviewer with a claimed height of 5'7" raised serious concerns about headroom in the new Prius. I want to see all the Youtubers lined up in a group photo so we can see why some of you fit in cars and some don't. 😬

200 hp from a Prius 😮. That’s more than our Subie’s

[koichi.k]

Ryan, you're a great reviewer on your own. This co-pilot thing takes away from how good you are. Let's hope you get this hybrid and the prime for a good amount of time soon. It's a beautiful car and I'll argue that a hybrid is still better than the PHEV and BEV and I'm sure Toyota knows this and that's why they're dragging their feet.

I ordered the XLE AWD in march and I expected to wait for a year, then I call from the dealership that they had the same trim coming in on mid May this year and I can have it if I want it since she said I was first online. I said, of course I will! I got lucky here!

[larssfeihc]

The collaboration we've needed for far too long. Great work, fellas!!

[LOGEZZZZZBRO]

Thanks as always for an awesome review. I’ve had my Prius for 9 years and while it’s not perfect I’ve enjoyed it overall. This new new one corrects a lot of the imperfections and has me excited for a potential upgrade.

[KuyaArbee]

Two of my top independent car reviewers!

[funnybeingme]

I'm really liking the exterior design of this new one, especially the rear quarter which reminds me of the Tesla Model 3. As a previous Prius owner, it's actually a decent car to drive, and not as slow as one would think. But I missed being able to go on dirt trailheads and wander off on the many forest roads here in the West. So after a year, got myself a Toyota FJ Cruiser.

[absolutelyblasted]

I’m at 160k miles on my 2021 Prius I can’t wait til I’m ready to get this one, it is so sexy.

[Doc]

Ryan, I’m so jealous that you’re in warm San Diego!
Great review on the new Prius.
It’s too bad that it doesn’t have the ground clearance like ours Subie’s. If it did, we’d sell our Outback and Forester just to get the mpg.
We have a friend who owns the last generation Prius but she lives in Wenatchee and their great with plowing the roads.

Enjoy your warm weather bc when you come back home, we’re expecting a daytime highs of 14 degrees here in the Cashmere / Leavenworth areas.

Please do a snow driving test with the AWD model!

[scottoden]
