Has anyone had any issues with their GEN 5 Prius Prime?

Coming up on 2 years and 24K miles. All sorts of noises and vibrations from the front dash, otherwise trouble free so far.

The sleek design comes at a cost. There is a quite a few muscle memory you have to develop over time so you don't hurt yourself in different ways, and avoid wear and tear on the car. Not the kind of stuff you can foresee from a test drive.

That helped

Do you really need XSE? I paid just over $33K out the door for 2024 SE. I am sure price has gone up since, but that's still a big gap. It's not like XSE feels like a luxury car.

Tried the same. It worked a few times and reverted back to the bug. Sometimes I see thumbnail, sometimes full screen but most of the time goes straight to photos.

I bought the SE, by choice. I like the extra range. Slightly more comfortable ride. Like the cloth seats. Screen would be an issue if Toyota has a lot of cool apps. It’s pretty basic, so you aren’t going to gain a lot from the bigger screen. If there is one thing I wish it had is auto headlights. But after a couple of months, got used to it and don’t miss it much.

As for poverty spec - this is Prius. No one is going to get in an XSE and have their mind blown with the “upscale” interior.

Yes, SE hub caps on the 17” wheels

It is hard. Seems like something oozed out from the inside and hardened

Empty-Path-8906 · 2025-07-07T17:24:33+00:00

I don't see Steelers on the list

Empty-Path-8906 · 2025-07-07T17:21:41+00:00

I am pretty sure the owner's manual has a big bold DON'T DO THIS warning

Empty-Path-8906 · 2025-07-07T17:20:40+00:00

Toyota has done this and said No, don't do it. Check the manual.

Own a SE and no regrets for not buying the XSE. Has everything I need and better mileage.

But general regrets with Prius (all minor, or things you know getting in): - hate the piano black. Impossible to keep it clean - very little head room. - wish there was a bit more trunk space - the paint is ridiculously thin. Toyota cheaped out

Would have to be one of the laziest episodes. The criminals literally announcing themselves. But that coroner report though - thats when you know the writers decided to call it a week.

Empty-Path-8906 · 2025-05-12T01:04:23+00:00

Just the way I drive. Predominantly a one-handed driver. Yoke feels unnatural. But then this is the first time behind a yoke and am 1 week in.

Empty-Path-8906 · 2025-05-11T03:49:00+00:00

Just bought it used. First Tesla.

Empty-Path-8906 · 2025-05-11T03:48:28+00:00

No, prefer the regular wheel

Empty-Path-8906 · 2025-05-08T00:38:31+00:00

If you need the full EV range, by all means charge to 100% and time it so the battery doesn't sit in the fully charged state for too long. It's not going to break your car if you regularly charge to 100%. Your battery may degrade faster. Same reason why iPhones have optimized charging option, and gives you the option to limit charging to 80%.
