I absolutely loved the Gen III Prius. I'm sure the newer ones are great as well.
i have 170,000 miles on my ioniq and a bad catalytic converter. they said its 4k to replace. thats too much to put into a car with that many miles

i mean im not getting the new prius now. im saying a year or two from now

in japan they have a 2023 prius '' eco'' version with 15 inch tires and a 1.8l engine versus the 17 inch or 19 inch tires and 2.0l engine. guess americans still care about sporty over fuel economy since they dont have the eco version in the line up for the USA. hopefully that will change in a year or two
