  1. 32:11 if anyone’s wondering, this is done to “contract” dishwashing to somewhere else so the restaurant doesn’t have to have dishwashing facilities, they can simply get clean dishes and send dirty dishes away

  2. Best time to buy these in Cda is this month! $7500 CAD off, cheaper than loaded Corolla hybrid, Civic hybrid and Prius HEV!

  3. Anyone else prefer Manual seat adjusment? Its so nice to just quickly slide or drop the seat and never have to worry about expensive seat motor fixes

  4. Боже, цвет такси! Ты бы поглядел, что за эти деньги покупают китайцы в Китае! Приус и в подметки не годится этим современным машинам… Посмотри например Xpeng P7 Next 2025-2026

  5. With my 2008 Toyota Corolla, I can see the road surface (and that concrete block on the road) a good short 10 feet ahead of the car, making it easy for me to avoid such obstacles. Meanwhile, with the Prius, it is clear that one cannot see the road surface unless it is 40 feet or more ahead of the car ( 2 full car lengths). So when there's a big obstacle ahead of you, you cannot see it if it is within 40 feet of you, and then 'BOOM!' you hit it.

  6. I have a 24 Prius Prime XSE in this colour. I have a Tesla charger and with an adapter, it charges in about four hours. It is used in the city mostly and most driving is done electrically. It has almost the same pure electric range as my old Volt. I have been pleased with winter performance as it handles the cold a little better than the Volt, but of course, it is a much newer car since my Volt was designed in 2010. I have driven it on 6000 kms trips on gas and like being able to drive electrically in the city and yet go anywhere in North American if I want. A worthy successor to the Volt.
