2002 Toyota Prius Start Up, Quick Tour, & Rev With Exhaust View - 107K

Car was so ahead of its time

I bought mine in 2002 and still drive it a lot. I have 170K (and 20 years) on it and still on factory hybrid battery, although I have replaced the 12V battery in the trunk at least 4 times. I Very Much Like the more open interior space and larger windows compared to those in the new Prius. I don't miss and don't prefer a center arm-rest. I recently upgraded to a new Toyota Hybrid and I would prefer to drive the old Prius because I can see better and don't feel so confined. It has a traditional rear window which gives an unobstructed rear view unlike the Second Gen and newer Priuses. Still, I love my Toyota Hybrids.

The “penis” shaped shifter lol

666th like

So ahead of it’s time

I would love to buy a cheap one and restore it to it's former glory. Then I'm never getting rid of it anything happens. This one and 1st gen Honda Insight were like speceships back then.

Ugliest car of this side 2000

for an old car its still pretty futuristic and well designed

0-60 was about 12.7 seconds, but 0-30 was about 3.5 seconds.

Seeing this car reminds me of seeing a first gen iPod or iPhone. Advanced for its time but bright future ahead for it.

what camera was it, that's an nice camera for 2013

I dont know why i laughed so hard at the give birth and name your baby while your at it

they had hybrids back in 2002?

That startup sound sounds great!

Yeah, good stuff

I saw one in the past.

I saw one in a parking lot

I never seen one of these in my area first gen

Battery only goes bad in these cars if you let sit to long or you are not an effiecnt driver

Probably would have made more sense if toyota made it a middle seat in front with the counsol that low.

so this is clay jensen’s car ok..

2002 came with cruise control.

this reminds me of the toyota echo

ugly fucking thing

this car have a better 0-60 time than my car

Does first generation have Hybrid system?

You are peins guy tho

If you are selling that car I am buying! Make me an offer dude. I love these cars and own a 02 and a 03. One of the best cars Toyota ever make. It is sad they F-ked up all the years that followed it. Grrr. I'd keep away from the 2nd gen years.

It sounds like a vacuum cleaner

I love these 1st Gen models!! They're awesome

That looks like Honda Accord

I just finished a 1500 mile road trip in My 2002 Prius it’s now 2018 as far as I know the battery was never changed except a 12 V battery that is used to start the car and run the accessories I did that just before my trip car had 178,000 miles when I left 46 mpg not bad w gas hitting 3.80 in San Diego...all the way from Seattle Washington to San Diego including a side trip to Yosemite best car for the money I’ve ever owned, despite being 16 years old and it’s 0 to 60 in 15 minutes.... my epic journey will be on my channel by next week....

this is better then the new prius

The old look ok, But the new look ugly.

I want to restore one of these plus a red 86 Taurus LX.

lol

In european and japan versions rear seat can fall down.
Only US version didn"t have it.

Good review

The Ultimate Larry David Car!

Very good

This is sooo ugly





And the reason these people hate the Prius

Bout to give birth in this thang

Lmao, this guy's revving a Prius?

Front looks like Asian guy taking a poop

Those rear lights remind me of the w203
