Separate names with a comma.
If you aren't used to driving an EV, or at least another Prius, you are probably accelerating too hard to get optimum range. Try imagining a raw...
My housemate, who drives the PIP, drove a leased GenIII that she hated to give up, but it being a lease, acquiring this PIP was actually less...
With a fairly low residual, why not lease for three years, then buy it off lease? You can run it another few years and then sell it before the...
The ball mount should be a slide-in/out accessory, but my hitch is another brand, I think, so I'm not sure.
Some of us are sensitive to the smell of rubber. Do the Weathertech custom mats (not liners) smell? I thought the site claimed they are odorless...
Let's not give unrealistic expectations. The Prius drives like a refrigerator on wheels, and the PIP drives like a full fridge. If you like the...
Stability control can't exceed the grip of the tires, as noted. Again, it would be far better to spend X dollars on four *good* snow tires than on...
With much more traction in front, the rear can lose traction first and swing out, or even put the car into a spin. Last Winter, after many years...
Leaf owners suffer from the same problem - except in the UK and Australia, where they come with spares! There is actually room under the rear deck...
Put snows on all four wheels, please. You can go with the less expensive Ultragrips or General Arctic tires and still get very good traction....
Just remember that if you hit a pedestrian or bicyclist, you've given them grounds - both legal and moral - to sue. I also ride a bicycle, and...
This doesn't really make sense. The advantage in using lithium comes from its higher energy density, which translates to more capacity per pound....
I'm not sure how this is different from what I wrote, although it is certainly more abstruse. ;-) So I guess if you "paid" $37k for the Volt you...
I was assuming the car would be driven by someone who didn't know how to drive a Prius for economy. If you take advantage of the extra capacity it...
Here's an easier, perhaps more understandable answer. If you drive the PIP as a hybrid all the time, without plugging in, expect 49 - 52MPG...
The purchase price off lease for our PIP is just over $17k. That's a damned good price for a used car that you got to break in and use yourself....
Actually, the regular Prius will run on the electric motor at highway speeds as well - it just isn't as obvious unless you watch the instant fuel...
Does it downshift as you slow? :)
Yes, and once again, that's because of the people who ignored Toyota's naysaying and adapted their Priuses to become plug-ins.
That's rarely, these days.
