I have a 2016 Prius 3. When driving for Lyft, I got all kinds of compliments from my passengers. I had one man who was in a long-term Prius family and he gave me all the info on the 2016. I often see 70 mpg for daily average using the Eco function; in fact, if I get less than 65 mpg per day, I know I have been doing something wrong and need to lighten up!

I bought this excat car in 2020 for cash after covid hit. It had less than 28k miles on it. We used it as a car camper and drove it for 20,000 miles to all the usa national Forest parks for a few months, we sleep in it every night, with no issues. Fit two of us np. Drove like a champ. It was one of the best trips and experiences i have ever had. Sold the car in 2023 and thanks to inflation i sold it for 2000 dollars more than i paid it it. Great memories of the great trip and a great car.

Got a 2006 120k running strong, been maintained really well. Did some small mods to it and get 60 mpg easily. Not bad for an investment of 3000 bucks.

The only things that is important to question. Will there be a Plug-in Prius? When will there be a plug-in Prius? What battery capacity will be used in the Plug-in Prius? Will the price be fair in the Plug-in Prius? Nothing else really matters since this car is just mediocre now. Toyota left its core idea with the Prius a while ago when shown how half-assed the first plug-in prius was, with a little PR help from Lexus. Toyota let every plug-in make this look redundant, less efficient than it can be and something that's not moving forward at all. (old prius ad ref) Second hand LEAFs and Volts hadn't looked any better.

If you want a fast, comfortable, great handling car that can get 1,000's of miles per gallon....GET A CHEVY VOLT. My friend bought a Volt seven months ago and still hasn't had to go to the gas station yet, because she drives less than 50 miles per day. Can a Prius go seven months without going to a gas station? Can a Prius fly off the line at a stop light like a Volt, nope. You can drive a Volt like you stole it and it still gets great gas mileage. A Prius has to be driven, well like a Prius, to get 50 miles per gallon. No thanks. Prius needs to invest in new technology, because this Prius is like the last ones with a different body. Prius is OLD TECH. Toyota needs to steal American Chevy Volt technology and claim it as their own if they want to compete with the Chevy Volt. If you are looking for a high mileage car, but don't want low mileage like a Prius, get a Chevy Volt.

@mosdef3058 8 жыл бұрын

+VoltecRules Wow! THOUSANDS of miles per gallon! Do you get a free rainbow colored unicorn with that too?

@voltecrules624 8 жыл бұрын

+Mos Def Are those your favorite colors, Rainbow. So if you drive a Chevy Volt less than 50 miles a day, for one year you would drive the car on only battery. The car burns one tank of gas automatically per year to ensure you always have fresh gas (8 gallons). So, 18,250 miles / 8 gallons = 2,281 miles per gallon. That's very easy to achieve. Charge more, drive more, and increase that to 3,000 miles per gallon or more.

@Lantec1000 8 жыл бұрын

I'm a huge volt fan. I actually put a deposit for a 2017 Volt myself. That being said, the prius does have a market and is better than the volt for certain people. If you live in an apartment or condo where you can't plug in often, you're stuck at 42 mpg or some variant of it until you can plug in. Taxis here in Vancouver are mostly all prius or prius v. It makes a lot of sense and they've ran the numbers and saved a ton of money on fuel costs versus the old crown vics. A volt simply wouldn't compare in this situation where the drivers can't plug in very often during their work day. Or if you need a bigger car, my current car is a 2010 prius and with the seats folded down, the carrying space is HUGE. Compared to the 2nd Gen volt, no so much. Also the 5th seat is a lot more usable in the prius than the volt.

@voltecrules624 8 жыл бұрын

+Lantec1000 It seems everyone that compares the Volt to the Prius always forgets one thing, that 80% of the normal drivers drive less than the electric range of the Volt, 53 miles. I bet most readers drive less than that. That is almost 20,000 miles per year. The Volt was designed to fit the typical driver.. The Prius can not get 1,000's of miles per gallon, like a Volt can if the driver drives less than 53 miles before charging. A Prius would be lucky to get 50 mpg if it is driven normally. Sure Prius are taxi's, because if you are constantly driving, you can't charge and take advantage of the battery. A diesel Passat would make a better taxi in my opinion, but then again, I don't want to drive a taxi, or a car used by taxi drivers. By the way: 53 miles per day x 365 days / 8 gallons (one tank of gas burned automatically by the Volt each year to keep the gas fresh) = 2,418 mpg. That is really amazing for a car that has no range limitations & is incredibly fast off the line.

@Lantec1000 8 жыл бұрын

+VoltecRules of course, even my commute which is a round trip of 64kms falls well within a volt's driving range hence why I'm looking to get one. But that's also because currently I have a place to plug in at my house. A lot of people here live in condos don't always have access to a plug in at their parking garages or at work. This could be just a local Vancouver issue though. Also, with the TDI, it's great for highway miles but in the city, it doesn't hold a candle to a hybrid. Again, this is just a Vancouver issue. We don't have a highway that goes directly into the downtown core. On my 60+km (40 miles??? Ish) it takes me almost an hour on a good day and I only spend about 10 minutes on the freeway. The rest of it is all city mileage in stop and go. As I mentioned before, I drive a 2010 prius, I can regularly get 48-50 mpg easily without really trying. That number drops to 44mpg during the winter. I recently tried hypermiling and got 58mpg. Of course it's all city mileage, I wasn't holding up traffic because the traffic here is atrocious. Just stop and go all the time.
