2023 Toyota Prius XLE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I have been driving my 2023 Prius for 2 months and I like it very much. It is an XLE model and has just the right amount of luxury for my taste. It accelerates far better that my 2013 Prius and has a smoother, quieter ride. People are amazed when they see it as the Prius, even in the last 2 generations of updates, never looked this sporty. I had concerns about its being slightly lower to … the ground, but I have not noticed any problems with bottom scrapes when entering a different elevation. I know my daughter’s 2016 Prius had a real problem with this issue and finally the dealership removed an underside panel that kept cracking and hanging. I waited 10 months for this car and can say unequivocally that it was worth the wait. Yes, I have just one fob, but in the 10 years I owned my previous Prius, I never lost the fob. I am glad Toyota did not hold up release of the Prius for the fob shortage. This car may be my last as I am in my 70s, and I am gratified it has a youthful look & feel. I wanted a hybrid that has pizzazz, and this car certainly does.
