My wife and I just did a 3000 mile trip with ours. 50 mpg average and very comfortable and competent on the highway. For a family it would be a bit cramped but for the two of us it was perfect .
I have the 2020 1500 5.7L V8 Limited (Air Suspension) and i have it in my truck but don't have any idea if it works🤷♂️ this weekend going to tell my wife to drive in her car looking at it while i hit the 40s MPH driving the truck 👍🏾. I let you guys know how that went 🫡
i have a 2010 passat wagon 2.0ti 127,000 miles and the worst thing about the car is VW service. at $170.00 an hour. outrageous. for over 6 years now vw tells me about engine oil leaks, I have never seen oil on my garage floor except when vw changes the oil. i have to take it back and suddenly no more leak. I quit going to vw service because of this 3 or so years ago. And think about this, vw gives me free oil changes ($90) because I complained and have bought 4 passats In a row. to bad toyota doesn't make a wagon.
Never mind the economy, and the Tech, buyers want this model just for the looks. But, most people can't (or won't), wait as long as it takes to find one and go elsewhere. We ordered a red one in 2022, a Pearl coloured unit landed 21 months later. We were told the day we collected our Prime that had we ordered one that day, the wait would be three years. That's a massive problem for Toyota. Bet we could sell ours for thousands more than we paid.
We ordered one and a half to wait months to get it period that's the reason that they're not selling as many it's limited by production notproduction not demand period
I hope Mike is happy with the decision to remove the tranny coolers on the ‘19-21 Tundras, while leaving the system ON THE WINDOW STICKERS for their trusting, unsuspecting customers who wind up with a truck rated to pull 10k+ with no tranny cooler. Two grand to add the part. Toyota is abandoning their loyal customers, and losing their way.
I am in Canada and I would 'Like' to buy a Prius Prime, but there is a 3-year waitlist, and the Toyota dealers add something they call a '$2,000 Dealership Fee'. That 'Dealership Fee' is pushing so many people to buy from somewhere else instead of Toyota.
Lol i own a clapped out 09 4x4 v8 borrego on 33s with full fox 2.5 long travel. Real long travel the thing jumps lol 170k miles and ticking lol literally has a ticking sound
Seriously, just reviewed the damn car and quit complaining about the prices. Let the consumer worry about the prices, the people watching the videos more or less want to know how the car is.
I think the real issue with the drop in Prius sales is availability. We got our 2024 Prime two months ago. It's our third Prius but first PHEV. However, we had to wait 21 months for it ! Not many would have accepted that length for delivery. We actually ordered a 2022. So, we ended-up paying for two Model Year price increases and, got $2,000 less for our 12 year old Model C then we bargained for at ordering. Mind you, we still got half of what we paid for it new. Not sure if the dealer was kidding, but they told us if we had ordered our new car the day we finally received it, the wait now is 3 years ! Not really good for sales. Final "insult"; we asked for the red colour but received the Pearl paint. Very nice colour when you take a close look (it's not actually white). However, the Pearl costs an extra $600 or so as it's considered a premium colour. We went through all the misery because the first two cars were near flawless over 16 years and 200,000Km. And oh, right now there's 2,100Km (1,312.5 miles), on the clock, and, there's still 1/3 of the dealers fill in the tank. How many cars can do 0-60 in 6.6 seconds and give that sort of economy.
They positioned the Prius more niche, with the design as its selling point. Buyers who want the old idea of the Prius, can go to the Corolla Cross Hybrid.
Thanks for the comment. I'm writing a book titled "Politics of EVs" and hope to have it out soon. Please look for it. Lots of honest conversation about chargers, EVs and everything else.
Nice work. I have the 2024 Niro SX Touring. It didn't come with a cargo cover. My dealer in Fort Collins Colorado said there is no cargo cover. I don't know why they said that because there are spots in back to attach one. Would you know how I can find one?
