Separate names with a comma.
With modern cars like the Prius, the mpg is maximized at the factory. So, the idea of the “break-in” is to preserve the factory mpg, not to...
I think the looks have naturally improved with each generation. So, in terms of looks: (Gen 6) > Gen 5 > Gen 4 > Gen 3 > Gen 2 > Gen 1 I looked...

It is crazy, but the mirror is out of stock worldwide. I hope the glue will hold for a while (the duct tape didn’t work).
Here is the official Toyota documentation on Gen 5 Prius HEV/PHEV battery problems for your entertainment (probably the same manual for Gen 4). I...
