hey guys it's webby again and welcome back to another video. we've got the
Mirai here again and in today's video i'm going to show you five things i like and
then five things i'd change about this Mirai. uh so let's have a look around the car and get
started so i'm gonna do the five things i'd change first and number one is the size of
the boot it's only 272 liters and that's because the lithium-ion battery is behind the back seats
so therefore takes up a bit of boot space if they added on about six inches to the length of the car
you then get half decent boot size so that's my gripe number one the second thing i think needs
improving is not necessarily the amount of leg space you got but the fact that you can't get
your feet underneath the front driver's seat because you can't really stretch your legs
out on a long journey but again if the car was a little bit longer like i mentioned a minute ago
not only would you get a bit more leg room you could stretch your legs out a bit further too.
so the other three things i would change about this car are all in the front.
the first thing is you haven't got heated seats in the front of this car
and on a cold morning especially like today it'd be really nice to have heated seats in the front
the second thing i'd like to see would be a panoramic sunroof but i don't know whether that's
more down to adding weight to the car um because i guess this is quite a heavy car anyway so maybe
that's more of a design thing i'm not too sure but it'd be nice to have a sunroof and the third
thing or the last thing out of the five is this little pad here just down by the centre armrest
it's got this nice sort of grippy texture but in other countries this little pad here is actually
a wireless charging pad for your phone and your phone sits really neatly here and it's exactly the
same shape as the little pad but if they made it a charging pad then it would double up as
a charger as well as somewhere to put your phone um so that's my fifth thing probably minor stuff
but yeah just little things i'd change about this car.
so that's five things that i would change about the Mirai but let's go back to now the five things
i actually love about it and the first thing is the styling i absolutely love the front end
styling of this car, i think it looks fantastic from the back i think the designers have got it
absolutely bang on i think it's a fantastic looking car. the second thing i really like
are the seats they're super comfortable and I love this sort of synthetic leather it's nice
and soft and feels really comfortable to sit on so yeah for me the next best thing is the seats
the third thing i like about this car is the 14 speaker jbl hi-fi system
i really do like a good sound system in a car um just to sort of get the sort of good amount
of bass and treble and everything um and this car really delivers it's got a fantastic system in it
um every song i've played while driving around has been absolutely superb
it's got the right amount of bass and it's just the fact that it's 14 speakers
it just got this nice surround sound sort of feel to it it sounds absolutely incredible
um it's surprising that toyota have done such a good job of it really because you know
this isn't a mass production car this is kind of a very niche car so to put such a
good sound system in it's been really impressive. the fourth thing i like is the actual concept of
this car many electric cars you have to charge overnight it takes hours and hours to charge the
battery to make sure you've got enough range to go on your journey but on this way of doing things
if in the future every servo had a hydrogen filling pump all you've got to do is literally
go to the survo like you do with a normal petrol or diesel car fill it up with hydrogen and be on
your way again so that would take about sort of 10 or 15 minutes tops whereas a normal electric
car you've got to plug it in maybe overnight if you haven't got a fast charger at home
um and then hope you've got enough sort of range to get to your next destination and back
whereas this sort of idea of doing it i think would be a much better solution whether it ever
gets off the ground as a mass production i don't know because at the minute there's only one place
here in victoria where you can actually fill your car up and that's at toyota um so whether other
manufacturers get on board i don't know I know. Hyundai is getting on board with it as well um but
it really needs to sort of be a big mass thing for it to actually get anywhere um so fingers crossed
it does because i think it's a great concept and the last thing i like about the Toyota Mirai is
the way it drives. i love how silent it is when it's gliding along the road in fully electric mode
i love the fact that the steering's well weighted it handles really well. a lot of electric cars you
can really feel the weight of the batteries um because the battery is all under the floor and
there they've got a much bigger battery system because the battery system is much smaller in
this Mirai you don't necessarily feel the extra weight um so that obviously helps it feel much
more nimble when you're driving along and more it's not a driver's car, it's a family sedan
but you know you could sort of like go and have a nice enjoyable drive
without noticing the extra effect of the weight of the batteries
it's just a nice sort of place to be it's a nice driving experience
as i said in the main video if you've watched the previous video it feels very sort of upmarket and
premium in here um so it's just a nice sort of ambience inside the car it drives really nicely
um so yeah that would be my fifth sort of takeaway point the fifth thing i like about this car.
so there you go there's my five things i like and the five
things i would change about the Toyota Mirai. do you agree would you do something differently
