My 2016 Prius is the most rock solid zero issues car I’ve ever had.

[DJL]

Undeniably sexy. Something nobody has ever said about a Prius before.

[urdmann]

As a former car salesman I've had many customers complain that they couldn't see the front "nose" of the car. The truth is you can't see the front "nose" of any car. You simply get a sense of it eventually.

[gagags]

If I could get in and out of this with my painful joints in my knees I'd get one in a heartbeat. Forester I just turn and stand and sit. No strain on my knees and back.

[christopherchapman]

I think Toyota did a pretty good job on the remodel. Although as a 2018 prius owner they still need to improve on road noise. Mine was so bad I gutted the entire interior and added over 100lbs of dynamat and dynapad and that makes it acceptable but still not on par with basically every other modern car.

[FlowStateNewOrleans]

This is the first Prius that looks good enough that I'd own it.

Your videos are a regular part of my Sunday routine, but this one was especially fun.

[StrictlyPlinking]

Best looking Prius yet! I will finally consider one! Great job, Toyota. Great reviews by you and your family.

[BoopSnoot]

I think most of these complaints could be dismissed if you went with a more base model where lower interior quality is more expected at that price point. At $36K though, you expect more. LE FWD in red would be my pick!

[joannestazio]

I drove the LE today after driving the XLE.
I liked the ride of 17” tires much better.
I wanted to love it and buy it but getting in and out was a little challenging, it’s so low.
I’m only 5’1” and I still felt claustrophobic in it.
The dealership was not charging any extra, which was cool.
Oh, and the black paint on the LE, isn’t the same as the XLE model-no color flicks.
PS: Still driving my 2009 Prius and I like it much better!

[rodneymolidorjr.]

Anybody from a car company who decides to put fix-a-flat in a car instead of a spare is going to burn in hell!

[nurseaj]

I’m a current Bronco owner. My last car was a Prius and I LOVED IT. I’m considering another. They’re great little cars !

[WhenItsHalfPastFive]

They absolutely nailed the design of this. It looks better than almost any car in car in this price range. Honestly, the concept renders made it look like a damn Aston Martin or something, but the official car looks damn good as well. I think the current Honda Civic and Prius are the best looking budget cars right now. The Accord looked bad in the pictures, but in person it's tolerable, the previous gen Accord looked much better though.

[darc]

You guys are really pleasant to start the day with

[cuve_ae]

I drive a 5.7L V8 4x4 pick up truck and just bought the new Prius it comes in tomorrow and man am I excited!

[alextube]

Micah! Your story is so accurate. We have a 21 awd e and this exact thing happened to us within 10k of ownership! All cars need spares! A $400 option in this market is capitalism run amok!

[kolt]

I would totally buy a spare tire if I had a prius too. That sucks that happened to you. Good review, I liked your stuff from KBB and I can each time I tune into your videos they only get better. The family review format is sure unique, and you do it well. Your camera shots are always top tier and your reviews always have that Micah charm/goofiness. <3

[Scott-N-Atl]

Saw one on the road this week and my first reaction was "I'd drive that".

[timjohnson]

Your Family reviews are superb! Each one of your family members has their own perspectives on your car reviews! I rented a 2022 Prius for a week on Oahu and after 175 miles, we added 2.5 gallons of fuel. Yes it is slow to accelerate to Hwy 1 & 2's on Oahu's speed limit, but it had no trouble maintaining that speed. liked it so much that I offered to buy this low mileage rental and drive it back to GA. That got a laugh! It even had a proximity warning on the front of that car that came in handy in the tight parking in Waikiki! I just test drove a 2023 Prius, and it looks better, more power, dash is in front of the drive rather than in the middle of the dash, and MPG is still great. Your point on the size of the occupants is a large consideration. For anyone bigger than 5'10", you might want to consider another hybrid, like the Camry Hybrid LE that provides more room and similar MPG.

[dakaraii.aarons]

"emotionally drawn to drive a Prius" is definitely a weird sentence, but I get it! I remember when you got stranded. So glad you got out of there!

[kaclock]

Another great review, even without the smell test!
