Separate names with a comma.
Worse than that, there were a handful of standard parts that were absolutely horrible and would take out the entire engine or transmission with...
I live in Massachusetts and had a couple tanks that averaged out to 60 mpg last summer, but have fallen into the mid 40s this winter. All our...
True, that option is not available in the US. The US version also has a smaller tank so that the gas range is less than the battery range,...
I think the basic problem here is that for people who aren't climate or weather experts (like me), it's hard to judge the qualifications and...
If you keep reading about the i3, you'll find that it has problems climbing long hills when the battery is depleted as the ICE can't supply enough...
Wouldn't you also need an extra set of TPMS sensors, plus reprogramming each time you swap sets?
You describe the road conditions in Massachusetts perfectly. The only "bad roads" I have to contend with are the private road I live on and our...
Depending on how high the car needs to be raised for an oil change, it may be possible to use several pieces of lumber a low level ramp. I have a...
But EV mode is even weirder than that. I had just gotten home the other day and was about to get out of the car to move the snow thrower out of...
Let's stretch things for the sake of having fun with numbers. The DC/DC converter, MG1, and MG2 duty cycles are not synchronized, so in the...
I think this is because it's taking into account the efficiency of the total system, not just the engine. The engine can only deliver a fixed...
Umm, you do know that MG2 is geared directly to the drive wheels so MG2 RPM is determined only by vehicle speed, right?
Here's my take: Getting from a stop up to about 30 MPH happens very quickly and doesn't use much gas no matter how you do it, so don't be shy...
Strange, I've spent thousands on brake jobs over the last couple of decades and $0 on transmission and engine replacements :-)
Any car will take off if you're going too fast. The slower you go, the lower gear ratio you can use, and the more effective engine braking will...
I'd say go for the 2015, subject to the caveats above about the costs of new vehicle depreciation and assuming it's well within your budget. It's...
Hmm, now that you mention it, one end probably is spring loaded already as that would be the pressure relief valve. But since it has resist...
I've noticed the "squishing" with cartridge filters in other cars (Chevy Cavalier and Mazda3), and I believe it's normal and part of the design of...
It doesn't have to be a hybrid for a dealer (or any mechanic) to make mistakes. I've found oil that was barely up to the "add" mark after an oil...
Hi Roger! I'm out in the boonies of Pepperell, but drive to Natick for work. For some reason there's lots of blue ones out here. I once was in...
