Toyota Prius - long-term review - Report No:6 2026
Ever wondered how hybrids’ve changed in 25 years? I drove a sleek, low-slung new Toyota Prius, then a 23-year-old original pulled from a lock-up with supercars and the North Pole truck. The old one’s pure early-2000s frump: tiny wheels, boxy shape, bar-stool seating—but surprisingly smooth ride, no nagging alerts, just FM/AM, tape or CD. The new Prius has an MX-5-level low seat and chiselled aerodynamic body. Hybrids’ve gone from quirky experiments to polished daily drivers. If you hopped into your car’s 20-year-old version, what’d you notice first? Lack of tech? Clunky design? Share your thoughts!
