2013 Toyota Prius - Hybrid | Totally Tested Review | AutoTrader

Considering the 2013 Toyota Prius gets 50 miles per gallon, its sub-$25,000 starting price seems like a real bargain. But how is the car in everyday circumstances, and what would you have to do if you wanted a car that gets better than 50 mpg?

This is the best looking Prius I've ever seen... I was wondering why it looked different.

I remember being that age and driving with my dad on road trips! So much fun! Now I'm driving him :)

You're talking about a real "sports car." We could argue about what a sports car is exactly - many think a sports car has to have only two doors, high power to weight ratio, sharp handling and an open top. Obviously, cars like the Toyota RAV4 Sport, Prius Sport and Honda Accord Sport are not really sports cars - they're just sportier versions of a normal car.

This Prius is a Persona version. It may be that the dealer added the "Sport" badge on their own. We're changing the title to say Prius Persona Series.

I have the 2013 Prius model 4 with the deluxe solar roof package and this is amazing to have.

Note: Prius plug in, does not need to plug in to use it as he said. If you dont plug it you just not get 100mpg.

We totally get where you're coming from, but there is something about THIS Prius that's a lot sharper looking than other Prius hatchbacks.

I wish I had a newer version of the Prius.. Nevertheless, my 2005 Prius is in great condition and saves me a lot on gas :D

So, you plan on reviewing the EcoGreen Ferrari when it comes out?

[AutoTrader]

He says it in the video - the company is Seasucker and we think the model is "Minibomber"

[proedgebiker]

Love the SeaSucker Mini-Bomber Bike Rack!

[michaelzhang]

very good review. Can you tell me the brand/ model of that roof bike rack?

One of the worst crash test cars at small overlap test, the left front wheel entered the passenger cabin! Shame on Toyota for not hiring good structural engineers. Shame for such otherwise amazing vehicle.

[igeekone]

The only difference is the wheels and what appears to be a lower body kit. Other than that, it looks identical to other Prius models.

Also, I don't see a Sport model on Toyota's website. But you can get Prius PLUS performance parts that will give a sport appearance and handling. They also have the Prius PLUS Performance Package.

It re-charges by itself? explain more.

Maybe I should go give it a test drive. My theory is, some sport compacts are FWD, Ideally they all should be RWD. Most Muscle cars are Automatic, And real sport Cars are be Manual or Twin clutch Transmission.

I'm in the market for a prius, I currently drive a VW Jetta, (Non TDI) since I travel to college, I would take 50mpg over 23 mpg anyway, Is the prius worth it? Just need some feedback from current prius owners.
