I received my Prius Limited after 2 months wait, 4 days later picked up a screw in one tire, and low and behold the $47K car did not come with a spare tire, and the odd-ball 19 inch tire size not available in the state of Texas. In spite of extended warranty purchase, Dealer said tires not covered, so I was sent home with screw in tire to deal with it my self. The car runs, rides and handles solid like yo would expect from a Toyota, however has some quirks that someone looking to buy should be aware of. 1. 52/52 mpg gas mileage is advertised, and this car has never come near that. So far I have driven from Austin Texas to San Diego 2 times and have not been able to get better than 36 mpg on the freeway. Around town averages between 38 and 45 mpg. 2. The passenger seat is the most uncomfortable seat I have ever been in. It seems to be mounted 10 degrees or so pointed to the right. I use my knee while sitting in it to help point my body straight however if sitting in it for long periods like running a lot around town or on a long trip, by butt gets very sore and I get a crick in my neck. And on those long road trips forget sleeping in that reclined seat. Toyota needs to re-invent that seat. 2. The steering wheel controls are confusing and overly complex, radio channel and volumes are on opposite sides, and its real easy to mess up the view on the dash display by accidentally hitting wrong button, and figuring how to get it back you have to reference the manual. 3. Trip meter resets every time you stop for gas, so if your tracking mpg on a trip longer than one tank you have to quickly write it down when you stop because it disappears when you get out of the car and you cannot go back and look at it. 4. In spite of the larger size LCD screen, the radio GUI is garbage, it has a few different random screen settings, where you can only see 4 stations saved, or 6 in the other view, and there are no signal strength meters so you end up saving channels that fade in and out, and the touch is insensitive so when bad music comes on you have to take your eyes off the road and push harder to get to a new station. 5. I am 5-10 and getting in and out of the car have to watch my head. My wife is shorter but if she wears her hair up she hits getting in. 6. Glass roof, the door to the glass roof is cheap and binds.

Beware of the 2023 Prius LE

2023 Toyota Prius LE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I was so excited to get my Prius. I was even willing to buy it after the dealer told me it was blue and it was actually grey. Thank goodness CarMax had their 30 return policy! Here are the problems. If it's a rainy day and you want to put your lights on, the dash and meter screens go dim. No way to adjust this. Toyota dealer says there's no fix. Add that to the fact that when you have your headlights on at night, it looks like there's an alien in the road in front of you. Some strange shadows cast, perhaps due to the design of the headlights. Anyway, these were deal breakers for me. Not to mention anyone over 5'9" doesn't fit, no room in the trunk and of course, no spare tire. Just my humble opinion.

love the safety features wish I went for the xle. doesn't fit 5 adults (^.^) i also wish it came with a spare tire, thought it included 2 year road assistance* they wanted to charge me 120$ to tow the car two blocks to tire repair, had to repair myself- ( ´,_ゝ`) wish it has an unlock on the passenger side- the driving assist is very controlling and yells at me when I DO have my hands on the wheel-

2023 Toyota Prius Limited 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful
UPDATE: I have now put 7K on it. The power is REALLY nice for a hybrid. Passing power is appreciated. The tech is all good, except it would be nice if you could pause the sound from the steering wheel button. It would also be nice if I could leave the monitor view on the battery system. I have to set it up every time. I love that I can ask some questions (like who won the Superbowl in 2009) and it searches the internet for answers. As far as the AWD system, we went on a vacation to Traverse City Michigan in Feb. It handled going up snow covered hills I wouldn't have tried in my FWD cars. So far....its been a great car with zero issues at 27K. OK....Have had my 2023 Prius Limited AWD (its the same as the 2024) for a week now. Things I love: 1. Looks, 2. MPG, 3. Power-it goes 0-60 in 7 seconds, 4. The ride is very smooth and fairly quiet for a hybrid, 5. Interior is comfortable. Having heated/cooled seats with a heated steering wheel is really nice, 6. Technology-this has every safety feature and convenience feature I wanted (except for massaging seats), 7. affordable, 8. Brand/model history of reliability-Its too soon to tell how reliable this generation of Prius will be, but with previous generations commonly getting 250-300k miles...its a safe bet this will too. Things I don't like: 1. Wheels too big/Weird tire size. I'd rather have small wheels with a more common tire size that gets better MPG, 2. Less cargo space (but its not that bad),
