    That's because the Toyota Prius - a favourite of minicab companies - has been named the most crash-happy model on the road by a Go Compare study, which claims that 111 in every 10,000 are involved in a shunt each year.

    I noticed this is accidents per car, not accidents per mile.

    in the US at least, the Prius has a very high average mileage per year.

    my 2010 IV has a what I call a sway bar across shock. First look it looks like a solid mount. It is bent iin the middle due to the fact I see it out of the tunnel it would ride in and 3 kinks in the middle. I cant find it online nor do I find the correct name of sway or stabilizer bar. HELP please. Also where the heck would I start a new post with this? Thanks so much

    Average annual miles should be particularly high in places where a large fraction are used for taxi or ride-share service.
