Just had the Fusion Hybrid for a week. I was up to 56mpg on an 80 mile trip on moderately congested suburban roads. I drove in the same manner I...
I have a few addons that stop about 98% of spam registrations. The moderator crew and I pretty effectively stop the other 2% before any spam posts go...
Sounds like the lithium battery is relatively low capacity and unlikely to power it in pure EV mode in typical circumstances. If so, it may be much...
Has a bit of a Chrysler front end look to it, but still much better looking than the current hybrid model. Assuming they don't ugly stick the new...
Hard to say- as there are no hills here at all. I'd say about 40% of my driving has been highway overall, due to some road trips and such, but...
I have the GL450 for review next week, so I'll have a better comparison soon. The Kia Sorento might have the best fuel economy for non-hybrids...
I don't track mine on Fuelly, so far only fueleconomy.gov. I've averaged 31mpg overall over 2 years, with a roughly even split in city-highway...
The Highlander Hybrid is a great vehicle. It's comfortable. It's quiet. It's quick (0-60 in 7.5 seconds or less), it can tow 3500 lbs, it has AWD....
For all the space it has, I wish the third row wasn't so low to the floor. Otherwise it would be more tolerable for teens and adults. The same is...
The MKT is very nice, but it is definitely a luxury rebranded Flex. The space behind the third row is the big difference. Third row legroom is...
The Highlander is smaller than the Flex, particularly in terms of cargo space when the third row is in use. With a load of 3 adults and 2 kids, I...
Congrats to MattP! I'm looking forward to another futile season next year!
Toyota uses some of the crappiest OEM tires on its hybrids. We went with the Continental ProContact Ecoplus on the Prius and the Michelin Latitude...
Just to add, I know at least one major auto manufacturer has a group devoted to searching online content for references to the company and products,...
As I've said elsewhere, I'd love to see a base Highlander Hybrid with a 4-cylinder ICE, 2WD, manual seats, inflation kit vs. full size spare and...

Haven't had a chance to read much there, maybe next week I'll have some time, but thanks for the tip on the site admin's screen name!=, never know...
Interesting site, just registered- thanks! I notice that there are a ton of sub forums, including many for specific hybrid models, but not one...
Right- depending on your driving habits and conditions, you can certainly justify it compared to other 3-row vehicles. I did. For the real hardcore...
Yup, Niagara Falls this summer from Chicago. That was a Britax Frontier 85 converted to a high back booster for my 7-year old in the 3rd row. I get a...
