    Hello Guys, i am looking at purchasing a 2016 Prius Excel.

    But I've noticed that some of them are marked as Japanese Imports with Japanese Stereo Systems, while others have a UK- English Stereo System alongside other features like Wireless Charging..

    The Japanese Imports are somewhat cheaper. Wanted to know if anyone in the Uk has any experience with them?

    Are there serious differences to be concerned with, apart from the stereo system? Same performance?

    Thanks

    Gen 4 Jap import £9000 whereas UK car £14,000. Both around 50,000 miles on the clock. What's the catch. Seems to good to be true.
