Separate names with a comma.
I calculate 11 to 12 years payback for the $1400 taxed premium of a Prius. Go with the Mazda3. If you're willing to go with a tiny car like the...
No but it is the 2nd best-looking hatchback. (I think most hatchback cars look poor, but the Prius looks good.)
Where's that Prius chart for MPG from 0 to ~90 miles/hour? I'd like to share it on Facebook. Thank ye :-)
ICE < 250,000 miles ownership (about 16 years average American). 350,000 for mainly highway drivers. Hybrid > 250,000 miles of ownership...
Still not convinced a Prius trans is simpler than an automatic or CVT or manual trans. Ranking from complex to least complex: Prius has a...
In Europe diesels sell 50-50 with gasoline cars. And just as clean (Euro 6 == SULEV in cleanliness). I'd call that "parity". As for sub-100...
Even at 60 miles that's still too slow. I like to drive, recharge, drive, recharge, drive. No breaks except grab a burger. So #1) I have...
GM claims its electric Volt only needs a 60+ hp three-cylinder engine to keep it moving at interstate speed. (Approximately 15 hp at running rpm...
What are the disadvantages? One might be the two-stroke design which tends to be dirtier (lets unburned hydrocarbons exit the exhaust). GM is...
The above comment is an example of irrational prejudice. Diesels are SULEV qualified in the US (as clean as a car can get) and the first three...
Statistics 101: You need at least 4000 datapoint a to accurately reflect the views/experiences of 300 million people. CR claims they have good...
I would discharge the Tesla's 260 mile range in about 3-and-a-half hours driving. 240V hookups only charge at 25 miles each hour. So I would...
There's nothing "simple" about the Prius transmission..... if you think there is, tear the planetary gear set apart & then try to reassemble it....
I want to look at the required maintenance schedule. Thanks :-D
What about people who don't trade-in cars? They'll only get 500 dollars from the junkyard (yes even for a Prius). Brake fluid in a Prius needs...
240 volt takes hours to recharge, and that's too long when I have to be back home tonight (and work tomorrow). HOWEVER by 2015 Tesla will have...
TCO from Consumer Reports or Edmunds is too variable to trust. There's really no reason why a Ford Fusion would cost more for maintenance than a...
Strawman argument. I specifically said *I* was turned-off due to lack of fast chargers in eastern part of California near Nevada. (Also...
You've changed the argument.... You're talking Focus 1.0 sales v. Prius sales where originally I was just discussing the $7000 difference & that...
