Liking cars is cringe- but I’m cringe for the Toyota Prius. My grandpa had one of the first gen ones and it’s like driving a compaq. I drive a newish one and it’s my favorite; barebones, but solid, perfect for a country still developing its electrical vehicles and supporting infrastructure (US). It’s got so much room (I literally fit an electric organ in here the other day) - and camping in it is bonkers. I wish I was knowledgeable enough to beef up the suspension and I’d move the world with this thing lol. Never been stuck 💪
Yeah priuses are actually kinda great. Ive used and abused them and they held up (gen2 priuses). Only issue i have is the visibility. I cant just turn my head to look, i have to move my body around to check blindspots and whatnot when turning or changing lanes.
Yeah it’s one area where the extra bells and whistles (safety features and proximity sensors) are super nice - unless they get mucked up and then everything starts beeping at you lol. So much beeping with this car. But I also regularly tweak my neck checking blind spots so I’ll take the help I can get.
And the version I have has an automatic parallel park and is a life changer in the city, while also constantly outhauling the truckcels at the hardware store.
Basically almost scratches my itch for a cute lil flatbed truck from Asia
Edit- and pup friendly
