I had a 2013 Prius for 9 years and over 170, 000 miles, and I did NOT have one single problem with it. Routine maintenance only. Best car ever.

The Prius C was more or less, a Yaris with a hybrid system in it.
The C stood for City.
I"ve been in one of these, quite interesting.
This color is called Sun Fusion, replacing Habanero, which was replaced again by Tangerine Splash.
I'd drive this.
Thanks for the video, Randy.

Fun fact about the transmission it’s an E-CVT which means it doesn’t have a belt. It uses motors and planetary gears to change the speed of the transmission.

[hayden]

These Toyota hybrids use an excellent cvt that isn’t like most, it has no belt, it instead is ran by mechanical gears and it probably even more indestructible that a conventional Toyota transmission which already are great

I live right down the street from Liberty toyota. Never would have expected to see a car from a local dealership on the channel

I drove one of these Prius C's for a non profit i work for - it was a wicked little car! I had it down to 3.9L/100km but i also had it ripping 172kph (max speed) more than once - low centre of gravity it did great in the snow and was well over 400, 000km on the ODO when it was replaced... this level 4 trim or whatever its called would be the one to get!

[trashyspeeds]

The prius c looks better then the normal prius... also have you seen the 2024 prius? Man that thing looks good for a hybrid

[miked]

I would take a prius over a tesla any day.

[MrKillswitch]

This is one of the most slept on Prius models by far other than maybe the Prius V plus the useful life aside from the battery is around 400, 000 to 700, 000 miles with basic maintenance. By the way to say it is four to five thousand to replace the battery is just way over the top unless overpaying an dealer to do said repair when it can be done as a diy from Nexcell.

I'm currently rocking a 1st gen 2001 Prius and I love it. Have other cars too but the Prius is a work horse.

[radiodave]

I'd be happy to commute in a Prius all day... as long as I have my cool/fun car to drive on the weekend! Love the video, Randy! He who dies with the most cars wins!

[robbiemiddlebrooks]

I have a 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV! It gets 270 miles on a full charge depending on your driving habits! They were all on recalled because of the “Fires” from the battery’s! My battery finally gave a code and had to be replaced! I now have a brand new battery with a new 8 year warranty/100, 000 miles! My Bolt is pure EV not like the Chevy Volt! I also have the Premier version that’s fully loaded with leather and all!

[MrKillswitch]

You did make a mistake in this videos regarding the transmission, it doesn't have a conventional CVT at all but rather an electronic trans transaxle being just two electric motors and a small planetary set. Also the 1.5 isn't plagued with all the issues the 1.8 has so no oil burning, no blown head gaskets, and no egr issues.

[richthecardude]

From Jersey and it’s taxi yellow that’s low miles and in good shape if it was a taxi at one point in its life nice video can’t wait to see the Tesla vs Prius videos

[Vehicle_Enjoyer]

I've personally had great experience with the 1st Generation Chevy Volt. Getting About 65MPG Sometimes, it is closer to 90MPG.
The 2013-2015 gets way better Gas mileage than the 2011-2012.

2:37 the prius doesnt have a CVT gearbox but its just two electric motors inline plus a set of planetary gears and thats it, the electric motors acts as starter and also drives the car.

[thomaslibonati]

My mom has a 2023 Lexus ES300h. She never considered an electric car when purchasing her Lexus. I asked and she shot it down. She loves her hybrid.

[halepunye]

one thing that was not mentioned is that its an e-CVT. not your typical CVT. the “hybrid” is in the transmission. it’s actually your typical planetary gear transmission, but with a little twist, making it seem like a CVT.

[kevinjoachin]

You also have to take in consideration the cost of insuring the Tesla compared to the Prius, Teslas are so expensive and any damage it’s going to be crazy expensive
