A list of the GREAT benefits
First, let me quantify my glowing review. I upgraded from a 2003 Ford Taurus to the 2022 Prius Prime XLE. Needless to say, I am blown away by the technology upgrade alone, and that's not even taking into account the Plug-in electric aspect to this amazing car. Here are the things I LOVE: 1. The XLE trim has this amazing 11+ inch screen, which is just fantastic and integrates with Apple CarPlay seamlessly. After a couple days of playing around with it, I now know where everything is - maps, audio and climate control. 2. Running in EV mode - all electric. Seriously, it feels like my car is sailing. Took it out in EV mode for the first time late at night to get milkshakes. There was no motor, it was like we were sailing on a cloud. 3. Coasting and braking steadily RECHARGES THE ELECTRIC BATTERY. So if you pay attention to the handy dandy Eco Display, you can tell when you are charging. Driving this car is like a video game! It's fun to stay within the bounds of Eco driving! I also don't mind heavy LA traffic or stop lights nearly as much, because these stops charge my car and I don't use any $4+/gallon gas. 4. Because I have a plug-in, I can now park in electric car parking anywhere and charge it up. Drove to Disneyland 13 miles in all electric. Charged it up there for $1.63, and drove it back all electric. So, so amazing. 5. I can charge my car easily in 5.5 hours plugged in to my normal home outlet - no need to install an expensive EV Charger. 6. I can start my car, check mileage, check battery charge and even start a charge from the Toyota Mobile app. Incredible. Now the Edmunds review is correct - the electric battery does take up valuable real estate in the cargo compartment. However, this is a small price to pay for the MASSIVE benefit the all-electric battery provides.

Excellent daily driver
Excellent daily driver. Comfortable, incredibly efficient. Enough battery to take a sizable percentage (more than 50% for me) of my total miles on electric. When on gas, regularly achieve over 50mpg. Like having many modern safety features as standard. Highly reliable.

Great Car
Owned the 2021 Prius Prime for a few months now, Got 800 miles on my first tank of gas with infrequent charging. I think my average MPG is about 80, which is awesome and I feel like I can take my car out to cruise without thinking about gas at all. I love the EV range and its the most fun to drive when its in EV mode, very zippy. The LE has a smaller infotainment that supports both android and apple car play. I've always preferred physical controls over touch so its nice to get more features for a cheaper price. I have no problems with the screen or the displays and the interior is really cool looking. I plan to own this car forever and I got nearly $10,000 off buying it in NY. I have no problems with it at all and I couldn't even think about only getting 30mpg anymore. I drive carefully and I enjoy how this car guides you into driving more economically. There certainly is a lot of technology on here that you need to watch out for, but it is a Toyota and y'know things won't break on their own. Good warranty so i'm not worrying about that anytime soon but I do fear the day I need to pay for something fancy to be fixed. Nonetheless I think this car came up to a bit under $20k, so its a no brainer if you compare it to other cars for that price.

Spiffy fun car
The car glides and handles really well. Easy to plug in when I get home. Around town no gas needed. I just wish it ran farther on the electric but other than that I love it. It is also very quiet.
Out of a CT200h, into a Prius Prime
My 2011 CT200h (Prius in fancy clothes) was totaled and stumbled upon an opportunity to purchase a Prime Limited (ordered but buyer backed out) and am I glad - miss the styling of the Lexus but let me tell you the technology, efficiency and comfort of the PP are much better - will never win a road race but if you drive like a normal person this is a great vehicle, bit noisy on the highway or poor road surface, and you do catch glare off the large screen - but the 100MPG i'm getting (real world factoring in electric costs) nice 10 speaker stereo, radar cruise, auto wipes/highbeams, heated seats/wheel, nice visibility and silent on 30 miles electricity more than make up for it My commute? 22 miles each way, charge at home and work, last tank saw well over 1,200 miles only because I had to take a road trip Is the limited worth it? I think so, lots of safety features, parking sonar, cross traffic, bigger speakers/sub - that sort of thing - I most likely will never us the self parking (if you can't park this little car then you should not be on the road in my opinion) and frankly, with new cars averaging 42k this little guy is a steal at $34,500 with a $4,500 fed tax credit - got $16k for the CT due to the crazy market so out the door, brand new limited, $15k......
