    I was on here before, I had a 2014 Prius which was great but I traded it for a KIA Niro but now after seeing the Prius, I’m sold! I just wanted to know if anyone has gotten the new one if so, what are your thoughts.

    lots have gotten the new ones. There's a new practice though in place just like the giving of little rubber ducks with Jeeps. Now, anytime one of us sees another with a new Prius, we give them a nice 5$ bill. If you want to Venmo me mine, just let me know. :)


    and welcome aboard!

    I received my 2023 LE AWD about a month ago. I currently have about one thousand miles on it. It's my first Prius and first Toyota.

    Thus far, I have had zero problems with the car. The seats are amazingly comfortable for a base model car. I am currently getting 54.3 mpg (accumulated miles since new). I have been taking it easy on acceleration and fast starts during break-in.

    I have no problem with seeing the speedometer as some have mentioned. I do have trouble parking as it is hard to judge where the nose of the car is when pulling up to curbs. When parallel parking, the parking assist sensors do a great job and that is no problem.

    I would definitely recommend this car to others.

    It’s good. I have put over 100,000 miles without any problems. I want to go back to Toyota because of the reliability. My entire family has own Toyotas for 30 years.

    Excellent. How’s the ride comfort? Is it better than the previous generation?
