Separate names with a comma.
Especially since they did (stupid) things like move the shifter off the dash into a 'more normal position' on the arch to make it more...
Re: status quo = NO! My sister's '05 (bought new) is the cheapest car she ever owned post college. And it wasn't because it was all they could...
Sell it privately. You will NEVER get as much from a dealer on a trade in (if you do, it is because they don't come down on the new vehicle)....
Re: status quo = NO! Glad to see it. All the "I'm important because I drive a (name your over priced commuter vehicle)" shows just how shallow...
Hmmm, seems like you could smell the 'advertising' BS right from the get go. :) Any time an ad says "better hurry before 'they' are all gone" I...
Oh, like when the 'server' at a restaurant warns you the plate is hot! :) I have to agree, 'defect or feature', it shouldn't be happening....
Then we agree. :) Your last sentence says there is already a 'desirability market adjustment' in the MSRP. $2K should be more than enough to...
Same here in VT, but it would not hurt (in general) to check dealers in 'nearby' states. Dealers in NH are all set up to sell to non NH...
Ah, just re-read that part. Yeah, offering 21K INCLUDING tax and license is getting down to greedy on a Prius, try low balling a GM, Ford or...
So why bother with the base '09 at invoice (other than the 'unimproved' cockpit) since the MSRP on a 2010 package II (base) is $1K less at $22K?...
You will find that 'testing' the hwy torque dragged down the MPG. Any stomping on the accelerator is hugely wasteful :) Also, if you are using...
Ah, good angle. Never thought of that. There are those who think cramming in the clutch and whipping the shifter to the next gear pretending they...
Not in the hills of Vermont it doesn't! The best I've seen (repeatable 400 mile round trip and above 50F temps) is 58 at 55 MPH (must have had a...
As Tom (or is it Ray?) would say "Au contraire Pumpkin Puss!" The electric motor is engaged any time the computers decide to use it. Interstate...
My MFD gauge reads about 1 MPG (2%) generous. My wife's '06 is closer to 4% off. My '04 speedo is also about 2 MPH high (meaning I'm going 65 when...
I can agree with that. I NEVER want to drive anything that doesn't have SKS, the planetary gear transmission (no cone and belt for me!) and a...
No problem Bob, by the time the TDI guy is done 'burning rubber', you'll be well on your way to the end of the 1/4 mile track in your Prius. :)
Nuff said, I'm 6'2" and do tend to 'splay' out a bit on long trips with CC engaged. I get the impression that the extra seat travel isn't enough...
I have no interest in attacking the TDI (if it is your car of choice, fine by me), and others have weighed in on some of your Prius 'facts'. Here...
This I could go for - from bad to "as good as currently exists". The current 20/22 MPG combined for the 'new' vehicle is CR@P. Any vehicle new or...
