Ah, cool, another UK owner! be interested in how you get on.
No, the 100mph limit comes from the 1.4 engine, it's all it can manage. It has less power than the prius engine.
Can't see any real reason not to. Longevity of the engine would be reduced, but i guess you won't keep it running much past 200k anyway? The only...
The nimh battery in the standard prius is rated to 25kw (36hp), so total system output is 134hp. PHV has a higher rated battery, i believe it's...
Try using power mode, the throttle is more responsive to low pressure so you'll start moving quicker when switching from brake to accelerator.
And i suspect a 7 year old prius is worth more than a 7 year old dodge intrepid.
Depends what is included. Some fleet operators would include car washes and bodywork repairs (since drivers do sometimes have minor accidents) in...
20) Lets you drive an automatic without taking a fuel economy hit (manual is the norm here)
You're correct. the reason Prius uses TC is to protect MG1 not MG2. In the video you see just how quickly the drive motor got up to several...
The limiting facotr is that the PHV has a smaller electric motor than the Volt, so if the user demands more than 60kw of power it HAS to use the...

I wonder then what would happen if you floored it on a frozen lake or large skid pan? i guess there must be a max RPM for the motor, and it cuts...
No, it isn't. that's precisely why the traction control system you seem to hate so much is there. What is your agenda?
There's no evidence of that. What stops it revving ever higher? Dave, it looked like you came off the accelerator when it went that high?
USB, is a Volt better or worse than a Cruze in emissions and energy efficiency? If it's worse than the Cruze then i understand why this is still...
They look a bit DIY, and far too blue.
I also noticed your range indicator says 101miles. was that fully charged?
!! It hit 90mph pretty damn quick! Maybe that -is- why the prius TC can't be turned off. Mmmmm, smell that cooking MG1...
It would be great if all gen4's shipped with a plug and a rechargeable HV pack. You can order it with up to two additional packs, or indeed have...
No Teletext?! :o But how would have kept up with the adventures of Turner the Worm, or booked cheap holidays before the internet???
