I want my 4th gen back!

This is my 3rd Prius. The 3rd and 4th gens delivered their claimed mpg. Not so with gen 5. After 3500 miles I have one tank at 50 mpg with rest in the 45-47 range. Entry takes a new approach with the new roofline. I have to run the seat back for 5 seconds and then turn backwards to sit down and then swivel to get my legs in and then run the seat forward. I am 5’10”. The hybrid system makes more whirring, clicking and other noises than earlier models. Some of the advanced driver assists/safety features are great but some are more than annoying. I have about half turned off. At least they allow you to do that. The styling is great except for the roofline. The extra power is great but the beast keeps pulling for a second after you lift from full power! I had to order my XLE sight unseen and no test drive. All appear to be sold before they get to dealer. My 2023 cost 50% more than my 2017, which delivered 52.4 mpg over 53k miles before being totaled by a brand new CRV apparently without emergency braking. Forget about getting a deal on a new one. Instead, cringe when you see markups of $1800 for crap that should be labeled “additional dealer profit”. Bottom line: my wife loves the new one! My advice is to look for a good 4th gen.

Spare me a tire

The 2024 Prius hybrid is an attractive sedan that handles well and is a significant improvement over the 2022 Prius with great mileage and it is a friend of the environment. To be honest, I love the new look of the new Prius. I'm 5'11 and found there was plenty of room in the car re leg room and head room, both in the front and rear seating. But I'm disheartened that it does not come with a spare tire, and that's a deal breaker for me. The repair tire kit just doesn't cut it.

We've been Toyota buyers for decades, starting with an SR5 Pu, Tercel, Corola, Camary, FJ, Versa, the 1st made Prius, and five more Prius's after that. We owned a 2020 Prius LE AWD and a 2022 Prius.... it all has come to an end. Went out today to look at the new 2024 Prius.... standing 6'2", I didn't fit in it. Front passenger seat, my head rested on the liner. Wife felt claustrophobic standing 5'6" and a stealth 130lbs. Couldn't see out the back, the front seat compartment when door closed felt confining.... the trunk was a mere shadow of itself. In my 2020 it fit a full size dish washer in the box... that ain't happening in the 2024 Prius. Drove the Corolla, doesn't come with heated seats or steering wheel, only cloth seats (dog 1st visit to the beach are gonna get those seats so wet....) We did buy a Hybrid 2023 Rav 4, but miss the gas mileage of the Prius. Someone in Japan screwed up.

Toyota Prius LE exceeded expectations

Primarily purchased the Prius for the reliability and the 54 mpg. The car did exceed expectation on it's smooth ride and performance with 4 people in the vehicle. Overall very pleased with the car. The display screens not as bright or appealing as my Honda ACCORD

Car looks great, but manual is confusing.

Great except for manual, 03/08/2024
2024 Toyota Prius XLE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Looks cool, with newfound acceleration, yet still great mpg’s. Also, really nice safety features on top of best in class IIHS crash safety ratings. The manual, however, is difficult to follow, most likely poorly translated into English, and not user friendly. Takes forever to understand the instrument cluster symbols.
