My wife loves it, and you know happy wife and all. I like my car better but I'm not an SUV person.
Honestly i e yet to hear someone who owns an ioniq5 not love it.
I couldn't pull the trigger on a trade. Not enough range and infrastructure, plus the rate of tech improvement is still pretty quick. I went with a plugin hybrid with the hopes that i can trade it in once evs get a bit more settled.
Which one did you get? Those are still better for the environment than a full EV which is probably why Toyota doesn't offer a full EV yet.
My wife just hates getting gas, silly I know.
Toyota doesn't have full EVs because they bet big on hydrogen a few years ago, which didn't pay off and has left them scrambling to catch up. There's no more logic to it than that.
I got the prius prime 2022 because I'm a small car guy. It's good. The Rav4 has more range on it in electric mode, but the prius still gets ~52-58mpg in gas mode.
The one thing you gotta watch out for is the infotainment. I have the xle, which has this big beautiful screen, but only works with carplay. Yep, DOES NOT WORK WITH ANDROID AUTO. It's insane. This is an aspect ratio thing, so might be fixed in the future? Not holding out hope for that though.
I do love the map thing, but man its so annoying not to be able to connect my phone with Google maps since their nav system is worse.
Oh that would drive my nuts! The 2015 version of my car is the same way but you could take the module from a 2016 though 2019 and put it in an earlier year and fix that.
It's on my list to do but I haven't yet. Maybe this winter when I can't really drive my car I'll do it.
And the Prius is a great car for that. A friend of ours is addicted to them, she's on her third one I think. She wants the newest one with all the hash tags but she's not willing to pay that much. Maybe when used ones become normal prices again?
Prices are crazy. Someone totaled my old car so i didn't really have a choice. I am glad i got the 2022 and not the new version, that one looks like has way less trunk space and if rather do an ioniq than no trunk space prius.
You're saying you'd rather have trunk space than hashtags all over the place? That's an odd decision 😂
