Feels great driving in all electric mode. Eco mode feels sluggish. Awesome gas mileage.

MPG techno machine

2019 Toyota Prius Prime Premium 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

My average commute is 80 miles round trip. The car is charged up in the AM, driven to work, charged up at work and driven back home. Had the car three weeks and clocked up 1500 + miles before it needed a fill up. So far my monthly fuel bill is right around $25 bucks. Only nit is the navigation. it's a bit clunky to use and the routing algorithms could be better. I keep a Garmin in the car for navigation. Lots of complaints about the 11.6 screen. For me, it's fine. The screen gets a wipe off once/week. You get use to how to use it after a while. My last Prius has gone 180,000 trouble free miles and is still going strong. Why get anything else?

Excellent

Shopped this car because of the incentives from Toyota and the tax credits from the state and fed, as well as the fuel economy. Test drove and we were completely blown away by the amount of technology and comfort.

This is my 3rd prius. The drive is fine. The entertainment system is not. It was fine when I got. Third push notification for updates, and it doesn't work right. I left it in the I heart app last night, this morning it wouldn't connect . You can't get out of it, to the radio, if it won't connect to toyota app. I have had to forget and reconnect blue tooth several times. I would have rather had a CD player than the apps that freeze.

I would say it's a great car right now. Storage is lacking due to the traction battery. Milage is as avertized in hybrid mode. Took three days to read the manual which is highly recommended in the toeing section to avoid damage. Charging is nice and improved MPG so now at 68.3 MPG so it is a bit misleading if you want to differentiate between gas and electric. Driving is interesting with a consistent feedback on how you are doing for "being a eco driver" in summary There is a point system where slow acceleration, slow brack, and constant cruse will give highest scores.
