Gen4, is it worth it?

Ditto. But I charge my PiP in the drive way. I got an outdoor plug.

 

Out resale is not high either, just higher for Prius than cars that cost similar... I would guess due to high price of gas ($7-$8 per gallon) we still care about those costs, while US now is back on SUV craze so last I read used FJ Cruiser is having price appreciation lately and that was terribly inefficient vehicle but SUV and cool looking.

 

Here in Portugal i see Prius resale values getting higher than "cars that cost similar" the older the car it is. 2 gen Prii are sold at 5500eur minimum...

 

in the u.s., gas prices have driven down prius value dramatically. people don't buy them, regardless of quality. saw a 2015 at the dealer yesterday, big sign in the window: pkg 3, msrp $28,700., sale price $23,000. mostly due to gas. i suppose if they were unreliablele, it might be even worse, but like, wouldn't even be around anymore like the honda insight II.

 

I'm in town on a narrow lot. Our garage and driveway are in back on the alley. It would be fairly simple for me to put in a known safe, outdoor outlet for a plug in temporarily, but it would require a heavy duty extension cord of over hundred feet to reach the driveway

Digging a trench to get to the outlet to the driveway wouldn't be too bad, but if I'm doing that much work, I'm going to lay the high amp cable for the EVSE and garage, and that raises permitting and code concerns. In other words, if I need a better outlet for outside the house, I'll just put it in myself, but while I have no problem doing the work for higher amperage, I'll need a licensed electrician to be sure I do it legal.

I do intend to get a plug in at some point. Selection is still slim in Pa though, and I have higher priorities right now. I'd opt for PV over the plugin first.

 

Great answer.

 

Is 2016 Prius worth it? If you're tall with long legs, heck no. Those shorty seat bottom cushions won't offer much support so will have grunt, groan and tense legs while driving. Plus have to spend $29,000 just to get tilt adjust, so heck no, not worth it. This car is for certain people who have to have super high MPGs and willing to pay lot for it.

 

I think it will appeal to much wider audience than Gen 3. In this respect - it is worth it - to Toyota.

 

Trunk volume and height is made much bigger, so trolls with long horns will fit in.

 

Wow, trolling along with 200 posts of negativity, sad

 

How tall is tall for you? I am 1.89cm and no problem at all.

 

I mean front. It doesn't matter if you have a mile of driver's legroom for long legs if the puny, shorty seat bottom cushion is not there to support them, unless that is one wants to grunt, groan and tense legs to hold them in place. It's about saving weight and cost in Prius, not deeper seat cushions. It's a Corolla seat in new Prius and that one stinks for this tall guy.

$30,800 just to get tilt adjust on driver's seat and avoid the sh$%^y plastic wheelcovers / 15" wheels.

Just looking to rule this new Prius out asap.

 

i knew you were blowing smoke a few weeks ago.cycle and cyclo, cycle and cyclo, hmmm...

 

You have a 2014 Prius C so why trading it in? Not satisfied? Anyways, if I were you I would wait until I test drive Gen 4.

 

You could also snap up a 2015. Or is supply running low? I never see regular Prius at our nearby dealership anymore, last time I think a solitary c in the showroom, and one v out on the lot.
