Well, to me Prime looks as bad as a Thing to you. We are different individuals with different tastes.
Yes, I think many Japanese cars have gotten way too cartoonish in appearance, perhaps to appease the crowd of kids growing up (and becoming...
I agree, but given a choice that would be a big factor. I have seen Prime in person. That is what made me not like it.
I see. That makes more sense. The Prius dc-dc converter supplying the 14.5V to the battery has about 100A capacity. A start of a dead car can...
I personally think the new Prius and most of the newer Japanese cars are horribly over-designed (I mean aesthetic design, not technical). So many...
Yes, but the first thing that would repel me from the Prime (and gen 4 Prii in general) would be the looks, so I wouldn't even get as afar as...
Just because one does not know how to install a spare doesn't mean it's not useful. A good Samaritan or even AAA or what have you can install it....
Exactly! Unfortunately, not everyone is so attached to self-reliance and mostly do not give a crap if a spare is omitted. That is why the cars are...
I like: "no spare = no sale". I think it's the anthem we need to adapt. It is ludicrous to sell a car without a spare, borderline criminal. I...
The whole idea of traveling to Mars is idiotic, IMO. We have such a beautiful and life-giving planet here. Mars is an inhospitable, cold world....
That's very good news! Of course we will not know the real results for at least 5-7 years, which would be my expectation of longevity....
Well, my experience with my local Toyota dealer whom I called for a quote on traction battery replacement for my '07 Prius was very different. I...
I don't think there is a industry-wide conspiracy, but rather a certain set of practices that are profitable for the industry. Many car dealers...
Oh, boy! Was the throttle control broken? This has been a thing in the Volvo world in '99 model year, when they first introduced the electronic...
I think gen 2 Prii have stood the test of time and fairly heavy use. Most of these cars that are in the 10 year old range have very high mileage...
Do yourself a favor and change the 12V battery with a proper one. If you have a healthy 12V to try temporarily, that will work also, but make sure...
Trickle charger is not going to help if the battery is not holding charge. If it can't supply the current (too much internal resistance, say), it...
How is the health of your 12V battery? If it's weak, the car will throw codes and parking system errors. I just went through this. Replaced the...
There is another way of thinking about it. If you drive the car for 10 years and say 200K miles before the battery goes and then invest another...
Do some simple math. If you buy a new car (any of them), you will loose 10% of what you paid for it as you drive it off the dealer's lot. That...
