Efficiency and price is nice, but that is where it ended for me. The performance and handling don't feel better than any other prius. The 25 miles of EV range may be ideal for some, but I would want at least 45 miles from a PHEV. I don't understand what they were thinking when they designed the exterior, most people I know consider it an ugly car. The LCD screen initially looks very impressive, but the user experience is sub par, and Toyota needs to get with the times and support Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

This model seats 4, 5 is precluded because of an unnecessary rear console.

It is ideal for travelling under 25 miles. I usually put it on EV mode so I don't know what hybrid mode would do for the fuel economy. The car handles OK, not great. It tends to wander from one side to the other and it feels like it is overloaded probably because of the added weight of the batteries. I feel safe in it and it actually has taught me how to drive better. In my Camry I tend to be agressive and my mpg shows it. In this car I tend to go the speed limit and accelerate at a slower rate just to keep the mpg higher. So it does add a psychological aspect to driving that in my case is a positive. I would highly recommend this car for safety, green environment, economy and reliability. Not so much for handling or longer trips but that is not why I bought it.

Not a mosaic but rather a smorgasbord.

Not a mosaic but rather a smorgasbord of poorly integrated parts. Not built from the bottom up, but assembled from poorly understood parts from a standard chassis. Downright dangerous car, if it takes 4 pop-up menus (each different) to tune the radio at 60 mph......... Navigation system is impossible, but still does not use android or iPhone features. Never figured out the climate system and doesn't work well at best. Noisy - esp. road noise. visibility poor, as most prius' (except the stn wagon) Extra charge safety features (due to be mandated) are poorly executed e.g., blind spot detection. virtually no interior storage for pencil etc. Android charging platform barely works and with each road bump shifts the phone so it no longer charges. USB port poorly located. glove box just large enough for owner's manual alone, which you need to find out features (though so poorly written that you're not too likely to use it) The advanced model brings you poorly designed features that you are not likely to use, the entry level model is the one to buy - reasonable price and things work kind of as they should.
