I purchased a new 2023 prius…
I purchased a new 2023 prius prime waiting a year for delivery. It is the most awesome care to drive but we sold it after 6 weeks . The reason is I am 66 yrs old. They have dropped the car height and the lower door styling makes it difficult to get in and out of. The odometer is above the steering column so you cannot raise the steering wheel too high. In order for a average to taller person to get into the car somewhat easily the seat must be all the way back and steering wheel up. Even then you have to bend your neck to get below the door opening. I have some 6ft plus friends and they had real difficult getting in and their heads are at the roof. We have older friend who found it a difficult car to get in or out of. Other than this it was the nicest car I have ever driven. I just think people should be made aware of this one issue which for some could really be a problem. We purchased a Rav 4 hybrid to replace the prius but it is in no way the same pleasure to drive and enjoy.
