I'm new here and trying to check our community to see whats goin on.. maybe to join some discussions that interest me..
:welcome: There are all types of hybrid, electric related discussions here. like another poster said, "Jump in".
You'll likely find that the stickies at the top of their respective forums will address most of your questions. Things like 1) Problem areas for the Prius 2) What would you have Toyota change about the Prius 3) Is a hummer really more environmentally friendly than the Prius When I first came here, I wanted to know what people complained about regarding the car and if folks were finding any issues with the batteries. From what I've seen over the last 4 to 5 years here is that battery problems are still a rarity and that the most common complaint would be seat comfort, rattles, and perceived cheapness of the interior plastics. I think you could hit almost any car forum and find people complaining about those items. Welcome and dive in! You've got lots of research and data here. The site is populated by a ton of engineers and science types (as well as perverts, curmudgeons, patriots, hippies, and the occasional Aussie)
Welcome aboard, you will find a ton of helpful and sometimes just interesting info. I enjoy reading regularly.
