370,,000 miles on my 2009 Prius still running like a champ change the hybrid battery 5 times but after Market parts cost me $350 each fix... Best car I ever owned

We purchased a 2016 Prius Hybrid this August, 2021 with only 64,000 km (39,800 mi.) It's in like new condition. Impressive technology (I'm an electrical engineer) and I love driving it. Thanks for an affirming, well-paced and well-explained video.

I got a 2021 anniversary edition. In the first year I have driven from Ohio to Arizona and then from Ohio to Maine and crossed into Canada. What a car! I'm a camper and can run the car in ready mode all night to stay warm or cool. Perfect car for camping. I can lay straight out in the back and there are people 6ft tall that can lay in the back.

I get 55 to 58 mpg on my 2016 Prius in normal mode. 107,000 miles - best car I have ever owned.

I have a prius 2016 and i am loving it

That's the most realistic mpg. Thanks for sharing. Some prius owners report crazy amount of mpg because they go by the dash currently shows but in reality the dash is a little off by 2-3 miles. I owned a 2012 prius c and drive it like a granpa and I haven't been able to get 52 mpg. I'm getting 45 with a.c on and about 49-51 without it in AZ.

I have owned 4 Priuses from Gen1 thru Gen4. They have all been Great Cars. The newest one is a 2018 it has 39,254 miles on it. Here is the way you get Fantastic Gas Milage out of these Cars. LEAVE THEM IN ECO MODE!!!!!!! Right now over this Milage I am getting 67.2 miles per gallon. This Car is driven at highway speeds and town speeds everyday. As an example I owned a 2008 Prius and when I traded it in it had 197,762 miles on it. Repairs consisted of a Water Pump. Left Front Hub Assembly and Replacement of some Cruise Control Components. The Hydrid Battery checked out at over 99% of it's Rated Capacity. I changed out the 12 Volt Battery once during the 8 years that I owned this Car. The only reason I traded it was because the Toyota Dealer made me an Outstanding Deal on a new 2016. Unfortunately the 2016 was only 2yrs old when a Deer went thru the Front Windshield on Thanksgiving Day at Midnight on the interstate which totaled out the Car. Things like that happen here in Wisconsin. I am just an Average Driver with no special driving skills and I have never had any Serious Problems with any of these Cars that I have owned.

Considering buying one this weekend. Great information, thanks!

Great - and really complete - review. Been thinking of getting one, & looks to me like 2016 might be the best model year. Thx for all the work that went into this!

Considering buying one. I have always been fascinated by the prius and this review helps understand how consumers feel years later about their purchase. I especially like how you feel comfortable doing some of your own modifications. Thank you for the thorough review.

Excellent useful video. Just watched this video in 07/2024 from the UK , thank you

I have the same car but 2017 model with over 200k miles. I love this car. Nice Thule rack. I want that rack. The only problem I'm having now is it needs a new water pump because the water pump is slowing down but still runs GREAT

I have a 2010 with 211,000 still running like a champ and I plan on running it until it completely quits on me. Best car I’ve owned , PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for your honest and straight forward review. I wasn't aware that tires blew out easily for this vehicle, so if I go with this vehicle that's the first change I'm doing. Ty so much for your video!

Good review...I have same car...but did front pads...the caliper pins on drivers side were stuck...Same thing on wife's camry...but the pins caused left pad to wear unevenly...lucky I caught it👍

Uber driver here with 2021 Prius eco with 101000 miles getting 60.9mpg driving in ECO mode pretty much always except when going uphill I switch to Normal mode

I have a 2012 prius. I bought it in February 2017 . It was as good as new back than. The car drove 205.000 kilometer now. I never had any issues. Just the yearly maintenance like oil and filters. My consumption is 4,2L on 100 km. It is our only family car. After 5 and a half year i’m still happy with it but i do think about 100% electric slowly…

The front of car is raked a lot so rock would just ride up hood & crash into glass....the bra is likely deflecting rocks away from windshield. Likely a bug shield (if they make one for prius) which attaches to the end of hood would be better / cheaper option for broken windshields

2017 Prius 3 touring....103K...had major tuneup and shocks replaced....restored the ride...excellent car. Had a 2015 2 prior...the 4th gen is much better. Thanks.

Excellent review. I learned a lot. Many thanks.

Lol I have a '16 2 w/93k. Normal mode gets me the best gas efficiency and I drive/take off from a stop aggressively/brake aggressively with the air cold. ~51 to 57 mpg all day long. Simple maintenance like filters and oil changes. Best car I've ever owned and I've had trucks from '64 trucks to 2019 vans. By far the best cheapest car I've ever owned.

I bought a 2016 Prius new off the lot. It has about 60k now and it never gives me any problems.

Hello, BIG THANX from Europe! Informative Video! As Prius 2 owner i have focus on preowned Prius 4, Prius ..... worlds BEST Hybrid Car! Greets

I've owned my 2016 since new. I had exactly every issue you had haha. Except the tires. I have bridgestone tires, getting 59mpg. Tow and cargo rack will definitely take mine to next level. Mine is also grey. Thanks for video

Thanks for this review! I'm looking to buy a used 4th gen so this helps me out a lot.

Very informative and straight forward, I really like it. I couldn’t find all the videos you mentioned yet.

Great video! Roof rack and bra probably cost you 5mpg. I had a 2010 Prius now I have hybrid 2020 rav4 (46 mpg) that I think is better on the American roads.

I like the dashboard cover👍👍my neighbor has the first generation Primus and its cool, seeing it move around all quiet

You're driving that thing like a race car to get that mpg, I'm easily getting over 70mpg and most of the time over 80mpg in my 2017 non prime prius however i always drive in eco mode and hardly ever use the heater or ac mainly cause i live in Washington state and frankly not needed often

Good stuff!

Nice well explained video good shot

Very helpful. I'm looking to buy a 2016 now in 2022

On the market for one, that’s what brought me here

Dude! You didn't include any of your referenced videos! I was going to click on them after this video but now I'll have to look for them when I get a chance but only if I remember!

👍👍👍👍👍thanks for the vid.

Where did you get the car bra? I’m picking a Prius up this week. Excited.

The only thing I hate about my 2016 Prius is that the clear coating from the black glossy part on the C pillar started peeling after 2.5 years. Also, don't forget to change your traction battery filter.

thx for info about eco tires, transmission fluid, room space etc 🌼🏡🚗

NICE VIDEO BRO #PRIUS LIFE

I saw on prius chat or toyota nation '16 windshields were cracking. U take VERY good care of it/very clean! Looks great for all those miles. How's mechanical wise? Change coolant/transmission? Plugs? I bought a 19, got front/bottom vinyl wrapped. Love it! Be careful on bras, rub on paint. I see u have a dash cover, hot weather? Heat may affect vinyl wraps, just make sure. Make sure ur key fob isnt near when u do brakes. I got LED tail lights/back up too. Not because less voltage, I LIKE THE LOOK!😁 Continue good luck & thanks for sharing.

Great review! Do the seats have adjustable lumbar support?

People talk about the fan filter. Do you have to clean it?

Wow I find power mode to be way too aggressive lol you would get 10+ more mpg from normal eco is too slow

Can you tell me the exact part numbers for you roof rack setup? Also the dash mat is nice too!

Hey brother, appreciate the video! I have a question in regards to maintenance. I have the same vehicle at about 35,000miles. I contacted the dealer and they said I needed all this done: Oil change and tire rotation (unless tires are needed) Brake flush - 150.00$ Fuel induction service - 160.00$ Cabin filter - 42.50$ Engine air filter - 42.50$ By time because it’s a 2016 you are due for: Engine Coolant flush: 160.00$ Inverter coolant flush: 160.00$ .. man I am clueless when it comes to cars. What would you recommend I get done at this stage? I assumed it was just oil change and a tire rotation. Anyone who knows let me know please 🙏

ive had prius cars since 04 , now i have a 4th gen with original tires dunlop enasave made in japan/ride real nice/good mpg/even wear- ive never heard of factory tires blowing out for a tire defect reason on a prius- if they blow out its cause over inflated or under most the time or some kinda road hazard damage- driver neglect- Not cause there cheap- If u rotate criss cross front to back properly- so tire is opposte side spinning diffrent direction every 3-5 k- Yes michelins are the best longest lasting smooth ride tires provided u take care of them which most do, cause there so expensive- im also michelin man ha ha- i think ur crazy if u buy econo cheap tires & think ur saving money PEACE MR

I have replaced the 12V battery three times in the last four years! The last two batteries did not make it though an entire year!!! However, most batteries have only lasted me two years since I moved to Vegas, so only lasting one year is only fifty percent worse than average/normal here.

I have the same Prius and I’m averaging 59mpg. It’s a great car. The car is too low and the front door bottoms and too long. The front doors scrap on tall sidewalk curb all the time, that’s my biggest complaint with the car.

I think I would change the transmission oil much more than that , at least every 30k Good video 👍

So you didn't examine the filter for the hybrid battery cooling fan. That's a risk I wouldn't want to take particularly in warm weather. Inefficient cooling will reduce the life of a very expensive battery.

Done in eco mode doing Grub Hub and uber eats i average 46 to 60 depends on my area with hills . you are on red mode thats why you have low miles i drive my car easy.

Hi, thanks for this video. I’m also thinking about getting a 2016 Prius Four. I saw one for $15,800 / 155,000 miles. What are your thoughts?

I'll bet your external storage top costs you 2-3mpg or maybe more?

so has that cargo rack been on it a long time?? that would knock off some mpg as well as having 4 people in it vs 0ne... thanks

I'm still getting 70 mpg by the way in 17 inch alloy wheel

Great video, Looking at a 2016, wanted to know the ins and outs. Thanks

The roof rack will lower you milage by a fair bit.

I’ve had the brake clicking noise for the 1.5 years I’ve had my 2016. You mentioned that it’s loosening hardware but didn’t say whether it’s a problem or not. I’ve had it checked out by several different mechanics and no one has mentioned any loose hardware. I assumed it was just a normal noise created by the regenerative brakes. Do you know if it’s an issue I need to get addressed?

What's the CO2 g/km please? Is this a plug in? Thank you

I am looking to purchase a 2016 Prius from Carmax that has about 28000 miles on it. Would you recommend purchasing an "extended service" plan (extended warranty) on this vehicle? Not sure if it is worth the investment

I’m in the market for a Prius I’m about to pull the trigger on a 2016 Prius 4 with 51,000 miles for $25,000 I know there’s a inventory shortage what are you guys think about the price and mileage

Great video, can you share the Thule and led ligh bulbs model with us? Thank you

I had been driving a 2004 since 2012. Only sold it to my daughter to get her out of her $!#Beetle and me into a 2016 which I picked up yesterday. Nice upgrades but I miss my tool tray above the spare! Also, am I missing something or did they get rid of the proximity sensor that lets you open the trunk?! Looking for pro-tip on the best looking/fitting seat covers?

With that thing on top of the car didn’t help the arrow dynamics or gas mileage

love that dash carpet where can i get one for gen2 prius? share a link please

How often do you change the oil? Toyota recommended every 10k for my 2017 now with 43,000 on it. Do you have a part number for the 12 volt battery and Michelin tires that you used on yours? Thanks.

I bought a 2017 prius two with 81k miles and now it has 87k miles. Can I expect to keep the car untill it hits 500k miles?

so is this lithium or nickle battery??? have any lithuim batts on 2016's gone bad yet? thanks

So how many times have replaced the 12 volt battery? You mentioned once unless I missed something?

what year prius did they start using just electronic power steering? thanks

Protect your catalytic converter guys, mine got stolen. from 200,000 plus 2005 Prius. Too old to buy a new converter.😥

How many miles can cover the engine ? Because I am thinking to buy and I am doing a lot of km

47.5 isn't bad for power mode, I drive in normal daily and my average is at 52

How is this Prius doing 2 years after this video was posted?

I live in Sacto, just got a 2014 prius c, odo 115k miles. Who's the "guy in Sacramento who'll fix the hybrid battery for $600"? Can you give his shop's name or some way to contact him for my battery's maintenance? TU!!!

The mountains and SF is definitely hilly.

My 2020 Prius XLE AWD does not come with adjustable rear wheels upper control arms. So the rear wheel cambers cannot be adjusted during an alignment. I just ebayed a pair of adjustable rear wheel camber upper control arms for $180 and am about to pay $650 to have Rogers Toyota of Lewiston, ID to install them for me plus a free alignment. Also, my Prius does not come with a spare tire. I bought a spare storing in the trunk. I will ask Rogers Toyota to see if the foam beneath the trunk is removed, can a spare fit in the space.

When would you change shocks/struts

I’m near Sacramento, does that battery guy do the Ford Escape hybrid battery? My dads needs a replacement.

How many miles u got now ? Any issues so far ?

The 4 gen Prius, not plug-in?

Do you have Michelin defenders?

Can you change the rims to a 16 in and what size you recommend

Where did you get dash cover?

should i buy a '16 with 185,000 miles?

why do u have a dash cover is the dash melting

I had to second-generation Prius is in the combination meters failed around a hundred and ten thousand miles does this have the same issue and I hear the third generation has a timing leak

You're misinformed. That's not the true MPG of the vehicle. That's the MPG when you always ride it in PWR mode and drive it hard. I've driven mine for 6,000 miles so far in ECO and the average, not based on the trip computer but my own fill up recording and calculation is about 55MPG. PWR mode is going to cause the engine to be aggressively turned on most of the time, so you lose huge fuel savings when rolling from a dead stop, which is where a lot of fuel is used to break the activation energy and gain momentum on the car.

I'm in Sacramento also.

The battery should be good until 2030 ish ...

Hate those fix flat kits.

Actually

Thanks subik from my

That is NOT the true MPG. You drive like if it was a sports car. I have it in ECO and always get 60mpg.

Как в нем шумоизоляция кто знает?

I am surprised. How on Earth are you getting such poor gas mileage?

4 rings of death

U will never good gas mileage by using power mode🤦

The roof rack really ruins thd lookx and efficiency
