Overall, CR was very impressed with the Prius. They did comment on the vague steering. | |

Friends: 0 | They also rated the MPG at around 45MPG. Many of us get way over that, but my weekends as of late has me understanding why many don't get much higher than 50MPG. |

Friends: 10 | CU imho is the best for evaluations of many many products. they did say that steering although accurate took a bit to get used to. also that mileage varies HUGEly by driving style. i believe that between their test drivers, there was nearly a 10 mpg difference. also said some controls were confusing and difficult (didnt have Coastals nav overide...hehe) also questioned whether the display might cause a distraction. road noise was high and seat comfort borderline. also rated the Prius an excellent buy going on included options and Toyota's legendary track record for reliability. they were very impressed by Toyotas included road service and extended coverage on the battery. overall, a good report. i was disappointed that they didnt realize that unlike a regular car, climate plays a huge difference in your mileage results as most of us know just from the winter verses summer formula gas. not sure but according to a report from 2003, only parts of Texas, Lousiana, Mississippi and Fl. never switch to winter formula gas. i find it hard to believe that CA doesnt but they also have different polution regs so that may play a part in ti. it doesnt really say when the test was done, but judging by the temps they were reporting it would probably be early spring or winter.

Friends: 23 | Ugh. Just checked my filter. 8 months and it's grey with a bug, a spider and various flower bits. Checked my dad's Camry's filter. His is black. |

Friends: 26 | Better than no filter at all folks  My friend drives an old Taurus and when she first used the AC after buying it a bunch of pine needles came flying out at her! Mine was a little yellow from pollen when we did the EV switch but I blew on it a few times and it looks good again. It's only been (almost) 4 months. |

Friends: 0 | I was in Canadian Tire the other day and noticed that they now carry the pollen filter for the Camray and Prius and a few other models of Toyota's and they are $19 instead of $32 at the dealer. |
