Separate names with a comma.
Thanks for the reply -- I didn't know it was that little. But I still don't think it's possible to hydrolock at highway speed. Again, assuming...
It's not a common problem on Prii necessarily, but lift struts failing on a 10 year old car is not uncommon. +1
I'd spend the extra for the 2015.
Isn't most brake cleaner acetone based?
The links I provided above show that the Gen-4 and 2017 V Wagon have different EGR systems. Even in the final year of the V, it still has the...
I just looked this up to confirm. I stand corrected: The V wagon apparently never got the Gen-4 updated EGR system. 2017 V Wagon EGR System...
The V has the same drive train as the hatch. So yes, it has the Gen-4 updated EGR system that draws post-cat.
Battery, brakes, and transmission don't seem to be any more problematic than any other version of Prius. Or am I missing something?
I'm not sure where you got the idea the V wagon was less reliable than the hatchback. They have the same drive train, with the exception of the...
I don't think it's necessarily a bad choice for someone who'll DIY the maintenance. Just be sure you're going in with eyes wide open.
I don't disagree. But let me tell you, the underside of the hood of a Gen-3 gets pretty tedious to look at. ;) Pick your poison!
Will you be doing the maintenance for her? If not, consider recommending a Gen-4 or another Toyota product. One thing all Gen-3's need is for...
Belt and suspenders! :)
Nice job. I did a similar testing of mine last year. I used two scales to measure the actual weight of the dumbell and the rope, and took the...
Shell Rotella T6 has a high zinc content. It's my understanding that zinc will foul a catalytic converter. For that reason, I only use it in my...
How many miles in 10 days? Is that Shell Rotella T6?
When your car was brand new, the warranty on the non-hybrid portion of the drive train was only 3 years/60K miles. I think everyone expects any...
How many miles are on your V? Does it consume oil? EDIT: Never mind. I see: 44K and no oil consumption. When you decide you're going to sell...
Good point. My statement applies to any Gen-3 (2010 - 2015) Prius -- hatchback or V (wagon). I agree having the ring/piston TSB done on a Gen-3...
It's the same powertrain as a standard Prius with the exception of the slightly higher final gear ratio in the V. I wouldn't be concerned about...
