I saw my first one "in the wild" yesterday. It impressed me as looking somewhat like a Tesla. I'm thinking that people who purchased last year's model are kicking themselves.

Remove the cargo foam and you have plenty of room for the stroller. Also when you're in the driver's seat you can see the cluster the steering wheel is adjustable just move it down a bit and you'll see the cluster just fine. I'm 6'1 I and did this

Great review, well done! One comment though - the Prius is a small car. It's not marketed as a family sedan, so it shouldn't be a surprise that it isn't the best at accommodating child seats and strollers in the trunk. That's what SUVs and minivans are for.

@@mrxman581 yes but besides the hybrid system....you have to remember the prius was so good bc of it's versitility. The headroom was a main selling point, good for taxi/uber, enough cargo space to even live in the car comfortably or carry large items. All that requires head room... it's a no for me.

@@herewegoagain7403 yes, that's true too but that was never the reason the Prius was first made. The primary reason was efficiency. The 2nd gen Prius was extremely popular for it's efficiency and technology. My famous people owned one. It only became known for its versatility later. Taxi companies started using it after the third generation came out. A lot of regular people still didn't trust the new hybrid system after the 2nd gen. Also, Toyota made a larger version for awhile but it never sold that well. They also made a smaller version that also didtaell as well. I think they were the V and C versions. When the Prius came out, it was the only hybrid so it has to address multiple markets. Now Toyota has multiple vehicles that can address different markets. The Prius no longer has to be that versatile. The compromises they made make sense. If you want more room there are other models now, but the new Prius is being positioned more towards a sporty sedan closer to what a Model 3. I wouldn't be surprised if Toyota comes out with a more powerful version of the Prius in the future.

Huge on the outside/tiny on the inside. Done with aero if this is all they can do. The arc of the roof is too flat and it's basically a large radius that has been dropped way down only for aero. There's no practicality here unlike earlier models..... The Prius V might be the champion in this arena

It's actually bigger than my 2nd gen Prius side to side and front to back both inside and out. However, it does have less headroom space and a little less cargo space. At 5'-11" I had no issues with the headroom space. The only place where I would be negatively affected would be with the cargo space. But, if I can, I'll remove the styrofoam underneath the floor liner to have more functional room. I tested the regular Prius but have a deposit on a Prime
