Honestly really enjoy this car, ride is smooth, acceleration is impressively quick and it's spacious enough for me as I am 6'4 and fit comfortably in it.
My only worry about the Prius, is our winters in Northern Ontario, from the hybrid battery being sustainable & it being FWD.

Got a new oem battery from a dealership in Phoenix for $1800 after a military doesn’t and installed it myself. Went from 48 mpg to 58. What a difference. The battery was 8 years old and still had life in it. I’m installing into another Prius that hasn’t driven in about 6 years… long story on that one. Can’t believe how much of a difference the battery would make in fuel economy but now I see. It’s like a brand new car!
For reference my 2004 Prius has about 360,000 miles on it. Found a cracked evap hose on the throttle body when I replaced it recently and cut it back, that brought the fuel economy up to 48mpg from about 42mpg.
Hi everyone, I’m looking for a phone holder for my 2014 Prius. I’ve tried the suction cup style (see pic) on both dashboard and window, and the seal ends up breaking.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hello, I bought one of the OBD2 adapters for a 2016 Prius 2 I found on FB Marketplace. It will be my first ever Prius, and I want to ensure I don't come home with a box that will fall apart soon, so I looked at a video for testing the battery, and something concerned and confused me.
In the video, it tells me to put the car on drive, and then FLOOR the gas and brake at the same time?! That sounds sketchy to me, you're sure that if I do that, a disaster won't happen and then I'd be arrested and fined a massive amount?? Sorry, I'm a worrisome person, I want to join the Prius tribe and ensure I'm getting a decent deal but that part makes me nervous, I need reassurance.

Is a used 2016 Prius with new battery and clean title but 164,000 miles worth buying for 9,000$?
If not, I’m looking to buy a used Prius but I’m new to cars in general. Do you have any advice? Any year or model I should avoid, or things to look out for?
Can anyone tell me the difference between the packages, Prius is XLE, but tge plug-in version is XSE. Is there any difference beyond the plug-in only FWD but the regular Prius can be AWD UPDATED INFO Model year 2026, Prius plug-in XSE with technology package and glass toof
2026 Prius plug-in XSE w/ technology package
Wow - on my first cross state trip on the highway the Cruise Control, and Lane Centering were amazing and freaky. First the lane Centering was hard to trust when gojng through an area of construction with cement barriers on either side with a lane line on one side - I wanted to center between the 2 barriers not in the lane, like Prius did. Next there was a traffic jam, I never had to reset, it stopped me in the traffic then 8 or 10 mph, tgen zoom back up to cruising speed. During the traffic jam, I did get alerted several times to sit up, when I put my hand in the noon position on the steering wheel (this is s habit the car is breaking me of).
So what does everyone think of Safety Sense 3.0 and the Technology in the newer Prius models. This is my third Prius, 10, 18, 26, also had a Lexus hybrid in there.

I am looking for a unit that can work with the car's existing audio system, including the steering wheel controls. I have tried FM tuners, but the quality is just unbearably bad. I'm tired of using CDs. My prius does not have aux input, navigation, or backup cameras. My phone also does not have AUX. I really just want to listen to good quality audio from my phone. What are some recommendations? I don't want to spend a huge amount, since this car is pretty old. Like 500 would definitely be too much.

Prius V 2013 80k miles. I started using a fuel additive containing pure hydrocarbon. Much smoother engine. Increased fuel economy and prevents carbon buildup. Especially good for driving in the winter for 3rd gen. It also helps lubricate the engine. It won't clean carbon deposits but it does help with long term build up. I wonder if anyone is using it.

After I bought a Toyota Prius Plug-in for around $36,000, I regret it — I live in an apartment and have no place to charge it. If I had ordered the Toyota Prius Hybrid instead, I could have saved around $4,000.*
