Toyota has GREAT deals on it now! Pros: Got 20k taken off list price $15,000 gas card for total of 6 years 8k federal rebate, 4.5k state rebate 0% interest for 6 years I bought the XLE with advanced package for 52.5k, the limited isn't worth the extra 20k imo.. after all the rebates and perks im guessing im going to be paying 12.5k for the car itself! Rides super smooth, great safety features, and the cruise control will drive the car for you on the freeway (even in heavy traffic!) Love the interface, and birds eye camera as well as a camera in both the front and rear! JBL speakers are amazing, seats are too! I love it.. What i don't love is the 402 miles they claim you can drive, i read thats only true if you drive 30mph (LA traffic), its more like 310 mile range on a full tank.. Takes about 95$-100$ to fill up a tank (5.6 capacity), expecting the 15k card to last 50k miles before I have to start paying for hydrogen myself.. Hydrogen is hard to find sometimes so if you find a h70 station use it (never know when supply chains may dry up) Besides that I love the car, expecting hydro to be same price as gas in 4 to 5 years or im f'd lol 😆

Toyota Mirai saved my life

I had a terrible accident on 3/11/2022 with my 2021 Toyota Mirai. The other car ran red light and at high speed (much above 50 miles) came right for my driver side door, hitting my car so hard and pushing me to the passenger side. My car was totaled, while the other car caught fire on the spot (on impact). I was dragged out of my Mirai, with moderate wounds. Would have been worse if the car wasn't strongly built to absorb such impact. Thank you Toyota Mirai for your protection and saving my life.

Bought this car over a month ago and have no regrets. I've been looking for an electric car after having a plugin for three years, but I didn't want to wait 4 - 10 weeks for the ones I wanted (Tesla/MachE) to be built. I wanted to take advantage of all the savings and rebates that are offered on EV cars and CA offers better rebates on fuel cell vehicles. Here's my opinion on my experience with the Mirai so far. The car is surprisingly faster than the quoted 0-60 times of 9 seconds, and it actually closer to 7 1/2 seconds, which is plenty fast enough, not Tesla-like, but comparable to other larger gas vehicles. The range is a little misleading, I have the limited with a stated range of 357 and after the first fil up it showed 250. Over the last few fill up that has increased to about 320, still not 357 but inching closer. The filling is fast compared to charging, but filling pumps/nozzles are different at each location, so far there have been three different types of nozzles. Back seats are usable, just don't plan on using the middle seat for anyone older than 6 and no one taller than 6 feet. The limited has some nice features, especially the color heads-up display and center A/C and audio controls for back seat occupants. As of this writing, I'm averaging about 60 mpge for the first 1450 miles. The Mirai has a smooth and luxurious ride and should be called a Lexus rather than a Toyota. Once the Infrastructure has developed, I can see hydrogen cars making up about 10-15% of car sales and an alternative to Electric vehicles. As for fueling, I have not been stranded nor in danger of running out of fuel. I drive the car like any other car not really having to worry about fuel for about a week. Once I get to about 75 miles I pay attention to my nearest station to check on the status, most are open 24/7 and they are constantly getting refueled. The best time to fuel up is early mornings or late nights. Lastly, Toyota gives you 21 days of free rental in case you need to travel outside of CA, plus free maintenance for the first three years or 35,000 miles.

A colleague leased a 2021 Mirai Limited and sang its praises. I started researching and test drove one. Nice! I determined that purchasing the XLE would make sense for me if Toyota upped the incentive to $20K. Right after Labor Day, the incentive bumped from $15K to $20K, so I made a few phone calls. Glided home that evening in a gleaming Oxygen White XLE. I’ve promoted the Mirai to my daily driver for the last month and have fallen in love with its beauty, smooth radar cruise, silent operation, great handling, and driver comfort. It is true that “half full is the new empty.” Finding hydrogen becomes a thing. Apps help. My average city/highway mileage (driving like a spirited grandma) is 70 mpgE, which is 70 miles per kg of free hydrogen. This works out to 350 miles on 5.0 kg of H2 (the tanks hold 5.6 kg). Happy happy. However, H2 has gotten pricey in 2023 due to supply chain issues. The $15K free fuel card won’t stretch as far. Update after 2 years of ownership: still happy happy! I sold my gasoline-powered sedan for a nice price after a month of driving the Mirai. H2 infrastructure is improving in fits and starts. The Mirai is sharp-looking and a joy to drive. On the freeway with radar cruise engaged, it handles crazy California traffic like a champ. OK, the back seat and trunk are a bit tight. For a daily driver, not that relevant. I would choose this car again, assuming incentives sufficient to offset the moderate hassles of hunting for hydrogen. In my opinion, H2 fuel cell EVs will soon supplant the transitional technology of battery EVs. There is not enough lithium in the world, nor enough grid capacity, to power every car. Mirai in Japanese means “future” - and it is!

By far, the best car for the money I've ever had

Didn't need a new car, but when I saw that Toyota was offering their 2021 Mirai for $20,000 off, combined with the $8,000 federal tax credit, as well as the $4,500 California rebate, 0% financing for 72 months, and the kicker - $15,000 of free hydrogen, it was too good to pass up. Bought mine in March 2021, and aside from the paucity of hydrogen stations, this car is absolutely incredible. The car itself is beautiful; the body lines are sleek and eye-catching; just last week it got admiring glances (and even a thumbs-up) at Costco and Home Depot. The interior is not quite luxurious, but it is very nice, with a faux-leather interior that's very comfortable, the seats have just the right firmness, yet are still supple and inviting. The main dashboard display could be larger, but the multi-media screen is huge and easy to navigate. The sound system is very good. Interior room in back could be larger; my 2019 Avalon has more leg room than the Mirai, but the Mirai is quieter and smoother riding. The Mirai, while not blindingly fast, has very nice acceleration from stop, and passes very well on the freeway, with good throttle responsiveness, probably due to the electric motor's torque. In terms of range, I cannot get close to 402 miles on one tank of hydrogen, but I typically can get an indicated 340 to 350 miles (I usually don't let it go below 50 miles of remaining indicated range, due to the distance between filling stations, but three weeks ago, I drive an actual 347 miles, with 8 miles of range left when I refilled). And by the way, for drives out of state, Toyota offers 21 days of free rentals. Bottom line, yes, hydrogen re-fuelling stations are still too few and far between (at least here, in the San Ramon Valley). Except for this issue, this car is great. Beautiful, comfortable, fun to drive - and, after all of the credits and rebates, it was so cheap to buy, that I'm sure that, for the money, I'll never find a better, more satisfying, automotive value. Just don't let your hydrogen run too low!

Astonishingly fast, free fuel for ~3 years, pretty

The new 2021 model is superb inside and out. I have the Limited Edition which comes with sunroof, larger wheels, Heads-up-display and other titillations. They have taken all prior quibbles and tried to address them producing the best Toyota (any model) ever. Superbly fast, unbelievable corner handling, extremely high equipment level, stylish and sporty good looks and a sports mode for when you have the space to use it. H2 is the fuel of the future - you just don't know it yet.

I like everything except range. The actual range may be 279 to 330.Not 402. I don't know how they drive to get that.

There are 6 hydrogen stations near our house. Each filling takes about 3-5 minutes. The noise in the car is very low, the acceleration is stable and fast, and the interior decoration and shock absorption are like luxury cars

Offline fueling?

I purchased my Mirai three months ago. The specs on the car are fabulous but the availability of stations are insufficient. Last week I drove 55 miles to the San Francisco bay area for gas because the Sacramento stations were offline. 😔
So many problems with the Hydrogen supply

First of all, there are so few gas stations. And it often doesn't work at this few poor gas stations. So in order to refuel, you must go to several gas stations.
Lack of Hydrogen Supply - Always OUT!

As an owner of a Toyota Mirai, they are really great cars, but the major drawback is NO Hydrogen supply. Its TWO weeks now that the car has been sitting on the driveway waiting for hydrogen. Unless you have a secondary car, hey something else. If you check the online hydrogen station website, there are very few, and those that have Hydrogen rarely have them in stock. Until they fix the infrastructure, it's a lot of money sitting on the driveway.
Shortage of fuel in the fuels stations

It's a great car. However, hydrogen supply is very limited. I would not recommend to buy this car until entire hydrogen supply is fixed. I own one and I have been standing queue every week for at least 2 hours. There is no guarantee that I will get the fuel even after waiting 2 hours. NOT WORTH IT
DO NOT GET THIS JUNK

this car is absolutely a junk! Sales person made it sound like a good bargain with the free fueling. But they gotta to have fuel first! I’m few months into getting this car and it turned out to be the biggest regret I ever made!! There are very few working stations, even fewer has hydrogen! And every time weather is over 90 degrees, all fueling stations shuts off. Hello…!! This is Southern California and it is over 90 degrees at least 5 months out of year!! This junk car now sites in my garage not able to run due to no fuel available! It’s really a headache every time you drive this car out because I have to worry if I can get fuel to get home! EVERY TIME!! I tried to return it to Toyota, but they won’t let me. So I’m looking into legal options because this is nothing like what I was told and this car is useless! So, please please DO NOT get this car! I will guarantee you will regret it!!

Toyota Mirai makes no sense - the worst choice!

Poor handling and acceleration. Also, Don't be fooled with $15,000 fuel card. Its worth nothing since there is no hydrogen! Toyota promised 312 miles of range and in reality you get only 200 miles with full fuel tank. Additionally, there is major issue with refueling the car. Sometimes, you can fill only half of tank because refueling issues that Toyota do not want to admit and they do not want you to know that when you are signing the lease. With 100 miles of range this car is unusable. You will be just paying for car that sits in your garage and collect the dust. Worst decision I'v ever made. Shame on Toyota!

I only took one for a test ride. But I will say one of the best cares I have ever driven. It felt more like a Lexus that a Toyota. Proformas was grate. Handling amazing. Styling out of this world. comfort really good. The only issue I had getting in I am 6ft 1. But once I adjust the seat it was pretty cool. And the way they laid out all the controls just as close to perfect as possible. Ove all . Good job Toyota . You out did your selves.

Now, there are more hydrogen station for filling the Mirai. But, sometime as the other EVs the charge station got error network. I did have change to get to 320 miles per full tank. Any way, for the long trip Gas vehicles must be my first choice.

Unless the dealership offers tire replacement for free( vehicle does not come with one)??? And the lack of hydrogen at stations constantly and the hydrogen nozzle gets stuck very often and you have to wait 5 minutes just standing there, otherwise it is like any other vehicle.
