Any reason why? It's so similar. I looked at the prime but I just couldn't swing the interest rate Toyota wanted.

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)....

The Prime comes on steelies with covers? Really? That's disappointing.

It's actually the alloys from an older base Prius underneath.

Lol yes and no...

Yes it is a plastic cover... but it is not a steelie underneath...

Honestly I wasn't car shopping at all, I wasn't in the market for a new car. I was planning to keep the Ioniq long term.

This whole thing started when I helped my younger brother in law pick up a 4runner, then my parents wanted a RAV4 Hybrid, and then my older brother in law picked up a prime.... and during going to the dealership for like 8Xs over the last 3 weeks. And making all 3 sales. (you know how it goes, even though there was no language barrier, everyone is like.. OH buying new car? better call up the "car guy" in the extended family... guuuhhh)

The sales approached me about my payments on the Ioniq, and said let him massage the numbers and he can make the Prime cheaper.

So yes, my family bought 4 cars from the same sales over a span of 3 weeks...

Ultimately I lost 2 years worth of finance payments haha (i guess i will treat it like a lease?), somehow my payments was on par with the deprieciation so I wasn't upside down for the trade in. On top of that he knocked another $2600 from the msrp toyota.ca, cancelled the document fees, but still charged the $1950 PDI @.@

Finance I did it thru scotiabank, 1.99% APR over a stupendous long term lol...

And was $0 down....

End result being
- brand new car with new warranty
- monthly payment went up by $7.81
- but insurance went down by $78.00
- and I assume my $40.00/mth gas bill will be reduced to >$10.00/mth

So.. the sales didnt lie, my monthly running cost for the baby carrier did go down (not counting the 10K I've already sunken into the ioniq finance payments lol)

Yea.... my wife is thrilled to have a new car.. so there's that....

JDMDreams 04-26-2021 08:55 PM

I'm surprised you got a rate that low, on Toyota it's like 4.99? It's it because it is a 2020? I'm looking at the Prius as a family commuter for my dad but not sure if it will be too small. I haven't had the chance to test one but I've tested the leaf and it was not too cramped in the back.

Nope, 2021 model.

Not sure, but my main banking and mortgage is thru Scotiabank? That's the only correlation I can think of?

Maybe there is a loyalty rate reduction? lolol, nth was mentioned to me. Everyone knew my face at this point and we just went thru the paperwork super fast...

And ofc both my hyundais were Scotiabank, ofc at the time when I got the Elantra I had no idea, the finance manager at openroad Hyundai just said we are doing Scotiabank, but that was 0% APR lolol....

As for room in the back, its acceptable. But I nevered really checked the rear seat room much for like the past 8 years lol.... cuz you know... kids...

Good eyes, that Type-S was a genuine one...

The last NA2R in HK sold for about 500kUSD actually already... prices are silly nowadays

Ok, i gotta ask. Does your smartphone really watermark all your photos?

dark0821 04-27-2021 06:16 PM

finally got off work early enough to do a decent detail around the exterior of the car...

I love the exterior lights on these.

So uh... GR Prius PHV kit when? :drool

Hondaracer 04-27-2021 06:58 PM

The headlights of that Prius add a little coolness factor that the side profile absolutely sucks into the abyss lol

GR prius aint bad

EvoFire 04-27-2021 07:33 PM

I'm going to guess the wheel covers add some kind of aero efficiency, but god damn they are ugly.

The CF hatch though is awesome. I generally like the front and back of the Prime, but yes Hondaracer, the side profile sucks. Some bigger wheels would help, but that would defeat the purpose of the car.

how much premium is the blue magnetism?

Is this really the paint quality of new cars these days? Toyota painting cars with those 50 for $1 brushes from the Dollar General.

CorneringArtist 04-28-2021 09:02 AM

Toyota's Cement Grey and the Whites are pretty consistent, the other colours, they look like shit lol

bcrdukes 04-28-2021 09:31 AM

haha that's pretty bad
Toyota paints are usually pretty good unless dark0821 mucked it up lol!

The Blizzard White on my iM is pretty good and still looks new from the day I got it four years ago

68style 04-28-2021 02:18 PM

A lot of brand new cars go to bodyshops for work cuz they arrive with scratches or damage... could be victim to that
