Separate names with a comma.
Nothing major so far - I have experienced some of the issues to some degree, but nothing that really freaked me out. That said, if there's a...
For a firmer fit, try 1/2" pipe foam - one piece per slot in the grill (i.e.: folded onto itself rather than straddling two slots). I found this...
When an article cites "critics of" with no specific references and no rebuttal from the defendant, it's not journalism - it's rumor-spreading....
Re: Toyota Recalling 270,000 2010 Prius Hybrids in Japan & US for Brake Issue Comments that make sense: The 2010 is being recalled because there...
I'm no longer surprised by these reports - most gearheads want POWER and in "normal" mode the feel of the Prius is fairly, well, "normal"... The...
If Toyota has a fix, they had better do a recall. Just from a liability standpoint, they are setting themselves up for a class-action lawsuit if...
"The motion of a vehicle is resisted by the following forces: Aerodynamic drag W{d} Rolling resistance W{r} Climbing resistance (gravitational)...
For the lazy (such as myself), you can do fairly well just by setting the heater on Auto at 68F or less and staying in ECO during stop&go. A warm...
Yeah, that kind of cold makes for an unhappy Prius - but you're still doing 50% better than your Accord. And in the summer you'll likely exceed...
Yep, and a spreadsheet works too - you just have to be sure not to create any gaps in the data. To get the worst possible mileage in the Prius,...
The difference is that the Prius computer controls the power differently depending which "mode" it is in (and a cold engine is a special mode) -...
Ford's hybrid is 20% heavier and roughly the same interior size as the Prius - and as a result, the mileage is 20% worse... As for "quality",...
A couple minutes of below-optimum mileage and emissions isn't a big deal unless you're only going to be driving for a couple minutes at a time....
My mistake - thought this was one of the Gen III forums, but this is Gen II, so you are correct. I'm pretty sure the Gen III gets cabin heat from...
130miles is very low for a half-tank (even though a half-tank on the gauge is only 5 gallons). That's something like 26mpg, which is way low for...
Unfortunately, until the ICE is warm, the opposite is true - the engine is less responsive to pedal input. The hybrid system tries to rely...
I don't think there's more wear than any other internal-combustion engine would have in the same climate - you would think maybe a little more...
Sort of... I agree that engines are pretty tough and I'm not that worried about running the ICE at (moderately) higher revs when cold - it will...
Unlike most other cars, the Prius will shut off as soon as it's warm enough - but if she has the cabin temp set to 80, that may take a while... :rofl:
Drive sustained highway speeds (70+) in low temps (10-20F) - guaranteed to get low 40's if not high 30's.
