  • 41mpg from a prius....eat that eco mentalists.... the lexus & porsche panamera hybrid do bttr than tht

  • if you can drive like i can, you'll get 50+ in the city... learn to let off the gas...

  • 途中でインタビューしているのはセバスチャン・ブルデーかな?

    

  • I can drift my prius very well believe it or not ive done doughnuts

  • could have won that drag race... walking.

  • Just checked. The 1964 Toyopet Crown, 35 miles to the gallon. 1964! Ancient technology! 35 miles to the gallon, largish car. And nearly 50 years, an oil crisis, the Kyoto protocal etc. later, the Prius; the best the world can offer in 2011, and it only gets 41mpg? -with an electric ancillary motor! Something odd about that.

  • pollution test, also take a visit the mines where the materials are being delved for the electric motor ;D

  • They are too expensive. I have owned a 1.6 Fiesta for 2 years and average 46MPG which includes mainly town traffic jams and some motorway and its quick and cost nothing near as much as these cars. I would only consider one if the price came right down.

    This presenter, or should I say "presen'er", drops a lot of his "t's"... Toyo'a, Ba'eries, Compu'ers, Insigh', Figh', No, Ge' Pre'y, be'er, ge'ing, mo'er, that really distracted me from the review and got on my nerves.

  • Title says it all, there is something wrong with some people (like the British), drag race with hybrids? No matter what is out there, there are always some who just don't get it.

  • Insight: The Cadillac of the Hybrids!!!!!!!!!

  • please convince me how a prius is better than my 10-plate bmw 318d in m-sport spec? is it cheaper? not much. mine is better built, 50+ mpg, better ride (even with m-sport suspension), faster, more stylish (opinions differ i know), better spec, and just the better all round similarly sized vehicle. in fact, any decent modern tdi saloon with a nice spec is the better buy, and will do better mpg all day

  • Both of those "cars" are embarrassing piles. I'll stick to a turbo RX-7.

  • @konceptkarma Yeah but not unless you want to save money on gas!

  • HORRIBLE BOSSES FTW!

  • what about the honda crz?

  • BITCH PLEASE:

    That Prius aint got shit on my smart car!

  • @muffindaddy100 How many miles to gallon do you get?

  • What an embarrasing way to travel.

  • Is this a joke?

  • Prius looks like a giant vagina

  • 1st- you cannot compare a 1.6 with a 1.3, and if you want to drive green you would use the econ driving on honda and you cannot compare how the people look the cars, prius has more time on the market so obviously it is more popular, some aspects that cannot be compared.

  • @a183r70 Prius is a 1.8 vvt-i not a 1.6

  • @SoulBladeaz worst, you cannot compare a 1.3 with a 1.8 this test is not well designed to compare characteristics, is to see obvious diferences...

  • 結果:インサイトはクソ

    

  • im stick to insight more price / performance

  • from playstation 3 to here... WHY !!??

  • honda still rules

  • People don´t think that how much these cars and new cars is bad beacuse they need to transport over the hole planet to just beeing glued to gether

  • Buy a tesla

  • @MrFreijan - I would buy a Tesla, if I didn't have to sell a kidney to almost pay for it. So instead, I will keep my kidney and continue rocking the Accord. No, but seriously - I would totally get a Tesla, they are quite impressive.

  • THUMBS UP if you here because of Horrible Bosses

  • So they don't trust the company's claim for MPG, but they trust the company's computer to figure out the MPG, Brilliant! a Mile mile loop is rather useless too, by the way, how bout at least a 30 mile loop, if not 100 Miles!

  • LMFAO

  • MOMMY!!! MOMMY!!!!

    

  • Those cars are not made for racing.

  • I would be embarrased to be seen in either one of these lumps of shit with tires.

  • What to here a joke?........ Prius.

  • Fucking moran

  • fuck the prius it suck ass

  • Theres a way of driving a prius and most cars to get good MPG figures. Most people dont know how to drive very economically and at a fairly decent pace at the same time.

  • Yeah, but offer someone a Toyota or BMW and I'm sure, if they are smart, they will go with the BMW. If you wanna save the planet, use public transport, scooter, bicycle, or even walk. Cars are made for driving, not saving the world. That's for buses, trams and trains to do!

  • ahhhh losers buy those car to be honest does any one realy check whether itz eco frndly. itz not just the co2 there much more worst gases which comes out of an engine.

  • they are both gay

  • yeah yeah whatever prius wins.. but i still love my insight..

  • Truth be told, the Toyota won because of better marketing.  Honda was the first innovator of the hybrid car with the 1st generation Insight back in 1997 (introduced to full production in Japan & the US in 1999, seven months earlier than Prius).

  • @Preluding99 Right! and Honda was also the first one in launching its lineup of luxury car "Acura."

    Toyota copied Honda by launching its Lexus a few years later.Honda's technology is way higher and better than Toyota's one.Honda makes not only motorcycles but also other things like boat motors,generators and much more.Honda is the best Japanese automaker in my own personal view.

  • @Preluding99 I do belive that Prius was launched in Japan in '97 and was the first mass production hybrid, The insight was in '99

  • @SoulBladeaz -- You are indeed accurate! In '97, the Prius was launched in full production for the Japanese. However, it's delivery to the US was 7-months post Insight's introduction. THANKS for the clarification. BTW, Toyota has stepped up their game with building exciting vehicles over the past 5-yrs.  Where the hell is the once infamous Honda innovation & sex appeal? I'm becoming discouraged by the ongoing lack of brilliant R&D designs - the Koreans are upstaging everyone.

  • @Preluding99

    hasnt you heard about the honda crz mugen. that is the best hybrid ever

  • @Preluding99 it didn't win because of marketing

    this test had nothing to do with that

    it won because its better engineered

  • BMW has hybrid car 3.0 twin turbo engines im sure that can save the planet rofl

  • since when an 1.8 engine an save the earth?

  • Honda discontinues the NSX, makes Insight

    Toyota discontinues the Supra, makes Prius

    Neither of them win.

  • TOYOTA 

  • haha the least interesting drag race ever!

  • My personal opinion for a well-driven day would be the prius cuz you arent just wasting momma earths gas on such small cars like the prius.

  • I still love the honda :D

  • that was sooooo exciting...

  • Comment removed

  • it not design for a race..hu hu

  • Know I know why my friend who is a homo and has a pirus wanted to race me

  • Thanks for the info, but id rather just walk.

  • The my 2010 Insight has better handling, and gets up 70MPH faster on the on ramp to the freeway if you use the paddle shifters than my mom's 2008 Prius for sure.

  • Did you know that to make the battery for ONE Prius does more damage than Range Rover Discovery does in a lifetime... The Prius is awful for the environment.

  • Thumb up for Horrible bosses XD "i dont win a lot"

  • its like having to choose between AIDS and cancer...

  • Drag race a 1.8 car vs 1.3 car??!! Of course the 1.8 will win without racing..

  • i prefer the eagle i hammerhead thrust geoff

  • @shobin05

    Heck Yeah!!!!

  • @shobin05 lmfao

  • Lol i have the 10 anniversary Prius with black alloys a body kit.

  • This vid commentator mentioned abt insight is required to pay roadtax which prius is exempted from paying but forgot to include road tax in his price calculation...perhaps it was 4-0

  • Keep in mind this is 2 years ago...I'm sure they both improved

  • I'd still get the honda because its more affordable. Side note: honda came up with the design way before toyota prius -with the honda crx and 1st gen insight.

  • Comparing front design.........

    Prius = female

    Insight = male

  • rich people driving prius? realy on what planet?

  • @Exia2004 cameron diaz owns one, as do many other hollywood celbrities

    

  • @Exia2004 earth

  • hate both cars but i love honda

  • the 2009-present Toyota Prius is assembled in

    Tsutsumi, Japan

    Chachoengsao, Thailand (December 2010-present)

    Changchun, Jilin, China

  • 59 people have a Prius...

  • one of my mates has a 2002 civic coupe 4 speed auto and he lost to a prius hahah

  • Why the fuck would you race a prius?

  • Congratulations Toyota. You are the smartest retard.

  • @bisquik3006 nice paradox.

  • @bisquik3006 uhh no.. you are

  • @sourjerer I know you are, but what am I? Well played ya flip.

  • @bisquik3006 uhh yeah...., I don't get you....

  • @bisquik3006 It's not about "environmentally conscious", it's about gas savings. I wouldn't mind getting 500 miles out of a tank.........

  • @greatplanesman Shit, I can get over 600 miles out of a tank of fuel in my F350. The beauty of a 38 gallon tank.

  • @bisquik3006 But can you do it on $35 worth of gas?

  • @greatplanesman Actually, I can do it on $0 worth of gas.

  • @bisquik3006 Diesel is a form of gasoline. Regardless, you still have to pay a LOT more than $35 to fill your tank vs the prius tank.

  • @greatplanesman Diesel is a form of gasoline? I can't believe you are stupid enough to be continuing this conversation. You obviously have no sense of humor, or no nose for sarcasm either. Prius owners.

  • @bisquik3006 I don't own one. nor will I ever own one (aside from the fact that I could go a month and a half on one tank). They are singlehandedly the MOST boring vehicle on the road today. doesn't matter what you do to them, they are still apeshit boring. I drive a Jeep, which is being converted to diesel when I get another daily driver. And yes, diesel is a form of gasoline, in the same sense that gasoline is a from of diesel. They are ALL petroleum products, even if they burn differently.

  • @greatplanesman That is exactly like saying milk is a type of orange juice, and orange juice is a type of milk. They are both types of petroleum fuels. That's about it. Would diesel be a different type of propane?

  • @bisquik3006 Dear god you are retarded... It is clearly evident that you have mistook my choice of words. Diesel and Gasoline are BOTH types of gasoline (in the sense that gasoline is a fuel and diesel is a fuel). Now stop being retarded and stop trolling.

  • @greatplanesman Hey now. Don't label me a troll, and don't project. The only type of fuel that is a type of gasoline, is gasoline itself. You made yourself look like a fucktard. I had nothing to do with it.

  • @bisquik3006 Why are u calling Toyota retard?? Last time i checked they were a leading car manufacturer, earth friendly company. Sure they're not making Supra's like they used to but that doesn't make them bad.

  • @TheDM75 Don't forget they have the most false advertising of any car manufacturer on the planet. That's always nice.

  • @bisquik3006 lol false advertising? Why do u say that?

  • @TheDM75 Christ. I don't have all day to enlighten you on reality. Read the fine print in their ad's going back 20 years. It's actually pretty comical, but it's a shame how many ignorant fuckers actually believe the crap they publish.

  • @bisquik3006 It's also a shame how many retarded no life trolls are on YouTube hating for no reason. Get a life and try to reach the level of success and money near Toyota LOL

  • @TheDM75 Troll? Just because your head is up your ass, doesn't mean you need to go calling names. You have no idea what you are talking about, and I'm the asshole? Well done.

  • @bisquik3006 My head is not up my ass, yours is lol.

  • @TheDM75 "I know you are, but what am I?"

    The greatest tactic used in elementary school. I'm sure you are older than 11, but I still give you credit for using that classic tactic.

  • time to get out a VW Passat bluemotion to show them who's boss :P

  • why would you even try and race a Prius, its like having a race up a flight of stairs with two people in wheelchairs, its going to be slow uneventful, and you can tell there not really made for it.

  • Fuck ya! Toyota pwns bitches!

  • are you guys in a car club?

  • toyota prius vs ..................LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR LP 700-4!!!

    At the end of the race the prius will have consumed more fuel than the LAMBORGHINI to reach 160 km/h !!!!

  • Your tests are just rubbish! I have an Insight and I get 52 MG (real not calculated by the computer); the car is very quiet so your noise comments are just baffling to me, and the Insight drives much better than the Prius - the only advantage the Prius has is indeed its large motor. The Insight can be anemic going uphill.

  • [mocking]

    NO! You can't rive like that! Don't drive that fast, it's not economical! You're hurting the environment!

  • Toyota has good power, but Insight looks much better.

  • I drive a twin turbo v8.... with 11.7 Miles to the galon :D

  • @sideslide23 Toyota must be replacing a lot of batteries for FREE then huh? Since the warranty on them is 8 to 10 years. IDIOT!!! Why don't you get some FACTS before posting BULLSHIT?

  • god dam so ugly and so gay, just screams im a faggot when a guy is behind the wheel of one of those pieces of recycled shit.

  • 61 in a 25 zone..

  • Honestly i'd take the honda, a prius is just pure fugly

  • Is there anything more embarrassing than getting smoked by a Prius?

  • and the bicycle wins

  • And you would go 360,000 miles maybe in 2009 but in 2011 cut that in half lol....

  • He is stupid i Own new prius easily could have got 65+ mpg for just a mile or so easily and Prius is much nice inside and fuck you who hate on the prius, fuck saving planet but 50+ mpg total all the time cant beat that

  • @Fitzz420 bmw i8 is 62 mpg, you've just been beaten

  • PRIUS!! WON!!

  • "Eat my dust honda" totally pathetic.

  • YES lets all curse the prius and laugh at the owners MWAH HAH HA!!

  • @shobin05 how about you suck my green one?

  • hahaha whats next fiat panda vs nissan micra?

  • fuck you fucking prius i luv honda thumbs up if you hate going green

  • hey toyota prius sucks ball

  • omg this is so exciting!!!! fuck those other ferrari vs. lambo vids!!!!!!!

  • @masterobed Wrong, the Prius was first. It was built in 1997. However the Insight was the first hybrid to come to North America (1999). Neither was a copy of the other, since hybrid technology has been around since the late 1800s. Nevermind the fact that Toyota's HSD system is much more advanced then Honda's IMA system.

  • @loweredtalon You are right. the first prius drove ( available for sale ) in Japan for the first time in 1997.

  • It's cool man, but confusing how someone's life experience is somehow wrong. Did I mention I live in Northwestern Washington in the mountains, and YES $20 is not a FULL tank but does get me 500 miles, cause out here with all the downhills, my consumption monitor shows a consistent average of 58 MPG. But that poor little truck only got me 12MPG. If this is still confusing, please ask me some questions before assuming things and I will gladly clarify. Just trying to put out good info to help. :)

  • Did I mention my Prius is worth $3,000 more than what I paid for it FOUR MONTHS AGO?!?!?

  • Hybrids are a status symbol and nothing else.

    Burning slightly less fuel isn't going to make up for the all the environmental damage those massive batteries caused during mining, refining, production, and disposal.

    Anyone genuinely interested in saving money or the environment would already be driving a small car from the 90s that has been reliabily getting 40-50mpg for decades.

  • @luminaeus Hello, I used to drive a Ford Ranger 04' no warranty left, and costing $500 in fuel plus $270 loan. and $160 ins. That's $830 a month with no security and no practicality. Now I have $100 ins $350 loan (cause my credit is 700+) and spend $40 dollars a month in fuel. That's right $40. Which is 2 tanks of gas or 1000 miles. That's $340 in my pocket.Plus a ten year warranty, four doors and a trunk. So in a nutshell what I am saying is some people by Prius cause they are SMART! Just sayin

  • @pigfacedoorknob

    Might want to check your math. $40 isn't going to buy two tanks of gas. You'll need to spend another $20 to get 1000 miles.

    Driving 1000 miles a month in a Ford Ranger will cost $166. To burn $500 of gas in a month you have to drive 1750 city miles.+27

    You fudged the insurance numbers too. The ford is cheaper to insure than the prius.

    Let's see the real numbers.

    Ford: $520

    Prius: $510

    Smart? You would save $260 a month once the truck was paid off. Oh well.

  • @luminaeus - what about ford depreciation man. 63% in India for a 30k kms or 3 year old car? Fords a joke. cheap cars with costly spares and expensive to maintain. just google DWS , Resale value

  • @deusexification

    Costly maintenance? Are you fucking retarded? It's a Ford Ranger in America.

    Depreciation only matters if you sell it! Which he already did, because he's a moron like you.

  • @luminaeus - Moron did u google what i told u to google? if u didnt understand the keyword to type are DWS Auto & Resale value ...ok got that.

  • @deusexification

    HUURR DURRR DERPITY DERR DERP DERP

    DEPRECIATION DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU DON'T SELL THE CAR.

    DERP DERP DEEERRRRP.

  • fucking stupidest shit ever. who the fuck would EVER race these?

  • Who the Fuck Races a Prius

  • @PimpBoy219 Jason Bateman from 'Horrible Bosses'

  • @PimpBoy219 i drove a prius before. its pretty powerful for a hybird. did atlease 110mph on it

  • @BlueRice A Prius can't go 110mph so that was a lie.. And if you think it's powerful you must be an idiot!

  • @BeExperienced hmm, most people reach 106mph on prius on highway... let alone im a skinny guy plus, my civic 1.6 liter only have 110 hp reach 115mph. this prius has about 130hp

    144,536 people have google and can find the answer, it looks like your the only 1 didnt know google exist.

    an idiot you are and good at it too. have a nice day

  • @BlueRice You haven't proved anything here mate.. And you own a Honda Civic hahahahaha!!! Could you possible choose a worst car? No wonder you think a Prius is "powerful", compared to a shitty Civic..

    I'm pretty sure EVERYONE has Google not just "144,536 people".. So i have no idea what your trying to prove there..

    Toyota Prius is governed at 102mph due to American hybrid road laws, Assuming your black this means that it is 'restricted'' to 102mph by the government.. Enjoy your Civic lol..

  • @BeExperienced wow watching this video can cause an asshole to start argument with me here.

    first off, give me a direct source right now. 2nd, civic isnt shitty, your mind might be. 3rd, lets take this to a whole new level, lets find a forum we can debate this in. 5th, im not black, and racist has nothing to do with this argument.

  • @BlueRice 1st. Direct source of what? 2nd. Civics are a piece of shit.. 3rd. I'm not going on a little forum with you because i'd rather not waste my life..  4th. Your skipped number '4' learn to count.. 5th. Your last sentence is the worst piece of English i have ever read "and racist has nothing to do with this argument" WTF?

  • @PimpBoy219 him

  • @PimpBoy219 Curios people who don't have massive egos

  • @pigfacedoorknob Oops, curious. Had to clarify before the lizards attack

  • @PimpBoy219 the guy from "horrible bosses" LOL

  • @nick94UFC hahaha lol :D

  • @nick94UFC lol yeah

  • @PimpBoy219 I do. Almost got a saturn ION once at 110mph. That was the max I could go. And it's pretty adventurous at 110 mph in a prius :))) Over 80-85 mph its not comfortable

  • @tonakis68 Top speed limiter what happened when you hit 110 did youre fuel shut of or did youre RPM range didnt go farther than 5000RPM you should try changing youre ECU and installing new camshafts and headers or maybe a sweet turbo oh and a new cold air intake new fuel rail high floow fuel pump port polished heads and also blue printed block you would gain some 200 or 300 or 400 hp depends on what youre engine is capable of and the qualaty of the parts

  • @tonakis68

    I think its fine... never notice the speed at all... Are you in a 2010 prius?

  • @PimpBoy219

    I do... all the time. Nobody stands a chance at green light.

  • @Qternocq so you race a prius what if i pull up in my tuned out Nissan 240sx i would smoke you just stick to being a tree huger

  • @PimpBoy219

    I will. You stick to being a illiterate hillbilly.

  • @Qternocq hey men no offense but prius were built for economy and taking care or earth they were never built for performance shore that electric motor bumps the prius hp a little high but still man not meant for racing now if this video was talking about a corolla i could understand because if you tune a corolla it would run really fast but not the prius i tried customizing a a prius it was a FAIL not that i have nothing against the prius is just not good for racing

  • @PimpBoy219

    Damn, your English is terrible. Anyway: it performs when you want it to. Setting it to power mode it has a mean kick-down. It of course doesn't mean it's a race car. Besides that it has a lot of other virtues and it would last ages longer in any road trip than your Nissan. Not that Nissan isn't a good company, but you probably messed the car up.

  • @Qternocq soory i type to fast and yeah i crashed my car a coup;e of times but fixed it after i finished installing the turbo on my friends prius he set it on power mode specs 230 hp he went to a drag race the day after i installed the turbo and was beat by a 1996 integra thats what i mean they have no power what hp is youre prius. Hey got an yank out youre prius engine and try to slap on a V6 or an inline 6 tune it and go to a drag race and beat everybody than people will be like dain that

  • @PimpBoy219

    Nah... no point. It would actually make the car worse. I just drove it to Italy and back, through the mountains, and it didn't even do as much as stutter. Just a perfect smooth 1700 miles trip.

    What WOULD be fun though is putting a powerful electric motor at all four your Nissan wheels and a light-weight battery pack that boosts it for the lower speed range so you have 100% torque at 0 mph! You only need it until you go 20 mph and flow right into the turbo's peak performance!

  • @Qternocq  why would i want 100% torque at 0 mph thats dumb what about just yanking youre cars poor eectric engine and slap on a v6 that would be bad ass and it would boost performance plus all the ideas that you give me are eco friendly

  • @PimpBoy219

    Dude... go back to school. You need to learn about punctuation marks.

    Have fun with your Nissan.

  • @Qternocq I graduated a year plus i hate school

  • Respond to this video... that prius just smoked a hemi

  • @PimpBoy219 Go watch horrible bosses and you'll know who Drag races a prius :D

  • @PimpBoy219 lol

  • @PimpBoy219 i did. never won. and it took years for it to get to 100... worst car ive ever owned... so happy i killed it

  • go out, stop being a faggot and buy a ford f350 diesel. stop being little pussies
