2017 Toyota Mirai Hydrogen Fuel Cell Review [Owner Review] Watch Before Buying!

Reviewing a 2017 Toyota Mirai. It is a hydrogen powered car that shows both the best...and the worst of hydrogen ownership. Currently the Mirai main competition is the Honda Clarity so I do recommend doing a bit of a comparison! I owned the Mirai for 3 years, so it was interesting gaining knowledge of a Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicle. Definitely recommend though watching my review to see some of the pitfalls to owning a hydrogen car such as the Toyota Mirai.

Definitely hit or miss in terms of looks from various angles. I do love that color though!

I'm ready to lease 2019 Mirai, but the near by Toyota dealers' waiting time to get this car is about a month.

Mirai owner in Los Angeles, would not get it again with the lower cost Tesla model 3 out. Limited stations weren't the main issue, I knew that going in. Station's going down, limited fuel supply, partial fills, frozen nozzles, long lines, 200-250 mile fill ups. Its nice when its full, and nice to drive, very quiet. I've had to get it towed once because the station I was going to went down while I was on my way there, and I couldn't make it to the next one. I don't think there is a future for hydrogen, with the dropping costs of batteries.

This is a PSA: Owning a hydrogen car has been the worst car ownership experience in my life: stations are down OFTEN, when I call to customer service and they tell me they work and have enough hydrogen in them I often go there and there's no hydrogen or it doesn't work. And I live in northern CA where we have the most hydrogen stations. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD UNTIL THEY RECTIFY THIS HORRIFIC FUELING EXPERIENCE DO NOT, DO NOT BUY a hydrogen car. Just get ANYTHING else

I would love to own this car, but I live in Massachusetts.

[nigelchambers]

When you said you lowered the lease price how did you do that? The lease appears to be basically a new car free for 3 years

[omarpadilla]

October 2023, all mirais in my area (San Diego, California) are being bought back by Toyota because we literally have ONE station for all the cars in a 250 mile radius.

Hi. I appreciate your review about toyota mirai. I am considering owning one and would like your experience. I live in socal and according to the fueling map, there are quite a bit around. How is your personal experience in using fueling station?? Is there a long wait every time?? Does it run out??? I have seen many horrid reviews and I am unsure due to fueling experiences.thank you

[WinstonH]

It hilarious how much mirai's have deprecated. In 2020 you can get a mirai for just under 10k with only 30k miles.

[cyciumx]

3 years later... Just bought a CPO 2017 Mirai for 11k out the door... and it came with the 15k/3year Fuel card. Fuckin paying me to drive their car... lol

[tickytocky]

Are you a sugar coated FUNK BERY!?!? Great review my man. You are a GENIUS

[Dudofall]

Yeah I wish I lived in CA so I could get this. They should build more fuel stations.

[perlaacevedo]

I am wondering how much better are the hydrogen stations now that’s been 3 years later of this being released? I am considering in leasing one this month

[fvtown]

Thinking about getting this used at 11k USD, which comes with the 15k fuel credit as well.

[gamester]

Got to drive one of these, I liked it but I didn't have the money for it when it was new. I've seen them for sale used. So I'm just going to save buy it too replace my toyota echo.

Rob, I might get a Mirai this week. Question: what’s the interaction with the entertainment system like, since it doesn’t have Apple CarPlay? I stream a lot from my iPhone and use google maps. Thanks for the great video!

[akdomun]

The fuel cell technology will be used in Toyota's fuel cell Class 8 heavy tractor trailer trucks! That will be the real game-changer. The latest one uses two of the Mirai's fuel cell stacks.

[SriRam-yqid]

Hi Rob, I am planning to buy a used 2017 Mirai that has 20k miles on it for about $10, 000 and I within 20 miles of 3 hydrogen stations. Kindly provide your thoughts and thanks in advance. BTW, you did a great video and after watching it, looks like 3-year lease is another good option.

[Channel--Ai]

Hydro is less efficient than bev however potentially far more environmentally friendly which is the point for many.

[fclardo]

I’m thinking about buying a Toyota certified mirai for about 14 k with about 40k mileage on it . They are offering 0apr and that 15k gas card . With these gas card are they good at all fill up locations in CA ? Also what do you think that’s a good deal ?
