Separate names with a comma.
Ah, bisco, that's a name I recognize from the early days. We're not sure yet what the plans are. Technically my son is on his own now, with his...
I bought my car new in 2006, and it was a heady time. Back then there had been a waiting list for the Prius for the previous two years, but I was...
I'm kind of toying with the idea of getting an original stick-shift Insight, but haven't done any research on them really. Any good resources as...
I'm really hoping that's Poe's Law in action...
He's probably still thinking of the infamous "Dust to dust" report by CNH (headed by Art Spinella) back in 2006. They claimed that the Prius had...
Here's a thread from our friends at CleanMPG. Wayne is pretty OCD on driving a vehicle at a set speed for a long time to get a fuel economy value...
55. For sure. There were charts made a long time ago on this, I don't have them at my fingertips though. Even though the Prius has a CVT...
Doing some more research (such as this thread), it appears the MFD battery bar display uses "coulomb counting", not voltage level to determine...
#1 is directly the result of the battery wearing out and losing capacity. A little charge or discharge makes large changes in battery voltage...
Umm, I list two, and actually they apply to a good battery too: 1) Going up a mountain, and 2) pulling a trailer with the A/C blasting. Neither...
On a good battery you shouldn't ever be going into the purple zone in normal driving. That would imply heavy driving load with no braking or...
239,000 miles on a 2007 seems pretty good for the original traction battery. I just had to replace the traction battery on my 2006 Prius (owned...
Anybody have troubles removing the license plate on a Gen 2? The bolts on the back just spin and spin, even when pulling on them with a vise grip...
Agree with Bisco, there's no reason to turn it off while waiting in line. The gas engine will turn off automatically, that's kind of the whole...
I tried to get 49 MPG, since that was my average, but Illinois has a bunch of stupid rules, based on car type and such, so I would have to have...
I'm really not sure, other than name recognition. Among Japanese companies, Mazda and Subaru have always been little brothers to Toyota and...
Yes, it is a fun car! I got the sedan. The 5-door is more functional, but I just liked the style of the 4 door better (and I can justify it...
Hi Wayne, nice to see you at the Milwaukee Drive$mart gathering last month. Took a couple minutes to jog my memory, but now I got it.
ha. :) At this point I don't think it would peel off cleanly at all. As an aside, I used to live in northern Virginia (Leesburg/Ashburn area),...
But it's not as bad as it sounds - the gas guzzler is a Mazda 3i, still gets 30 mpg in the city, 41 on the highway. And I'm keeping the Prius -...
