The redesigned Toyota Prius made major waves when it was introduced for the 2023 model year, bringing a newfound sense of style and impressive driving characteristics to the previously dowdy sedan.

The downside of the Prius is dealing with Toyota dealers. Most are trying to fleece customers by charging 3-5000 markups. After visiting the several Toyota dealers, I went to a Honda dealer purchased a Civic Hybrid at a 2000 discount off MSRP.

I've been following Emme for a long time now. Love her style of reviewing vehicles. I sure hope Edmunds allow her to shine. Glad to see you're still around and doing what you love.

One of the major issues for me with the Prius is although neither car offers a spare tire, the Prius uses a weird tire size that is not readily available if you get a flat that can’t get fixed.

“Most of our Edmunds reviewers couldn’t see the speedometer at all.” “Top rated car on Edmunds.” 😮😮

This is a great review! Informative and lighthearted. That Civic (hatchback) is probably my next car.

I rented Prius when my car was in the shop. I felt that claustrophobic even when I'm the only one in the car and I"m short (5'7"). The roof line is very low and the dashboard is high. The windshield is very slopy. It doesn't feel roomy like previous gens, but that's the trade off you get for sportier looks. Everything else is good. I like it. I used to own 2019 Prius Limited so I do know what the previous gen was.

Totally *LOVE* the Salt and Pepper. It’s so rare these days/decades but SOOoo refreshing to see. Subbing just for that. Oh, I love my ‘24 Prius Prime XSE too.
