dark0821 | 04-25-2021 10:04 PM | So I had an amazing opportunity and kinda traded in my regular non plug-in ioniq for a prius prime.
Essentially the same monthly payment ($7.00 more than before), but insurance went from $271 to $193 a month (I assume mostly due to the insurance cut anyways, but also the autonomous braking system??)
Pretty much the same equipment
- lost the sunroof
- lost some luggage space
- lost rear heated seat (but rear is taken by 2 car seats anyways...)
- lost android auto (but we used it twice in the 2 years we had the ioniq... just the 1st gen where it needs to be plugged in is too much of a hassel, we just bluetooth stream music...)
- gain adaptive cruise/lane keep assist (the good one that can also drop to 0km/hr in stop and go traffic on the hwy)
- gain leather seating
- gain autonomous braking system
- gain wireless charging for the phone
- gain bult-in navigation (not sure when we will ever need that loool)
- gain toyota reliability and re-sale value (though I never keep cars long enough to find out about bad reliability)
- most importantly.. gain the ability to plug-in hahahaha
And wife drives way less than 40km a day so... hopefully that means we shouldn't need to fuel up for a looooooooooong time (probably even using gas on purpose before it gets too stale in the tank).... https://scontent.fyvr4-1.fna.fbcdn.n...e4&oe=60ABA8BD https://scontent.fyvr4-1.fna.fbcdn.n...cf&oe=60AD1BBF https://scontent.fyvr4-1.fna.fbcdn.n...d5&oe=60ABC07C |
