We drive our 2005 all winter in CO (elev. 7,200 ft), except in deep powder. Packed snow/plowed snow is fine. We just keep our M+S all-season tires...
Tires are safe up to the max cold pressure stamped on sidewall. Probably 44 psi, but check sidewall for sure. Not familiar with Ecopia. Most...
If it happens when parked on an incline, it is normal as the transmission locks in P and then there is a clunk when Park is released going into...
We like Continental ProContact with EcoPlus Technology.
So, are you saying some of the A/C is diverted to cool the traction battery? Or, just that keeping the cabin cooler helps the battery?
Firstly, the Prius has Hybrid Synergy Drive, meaning it is powered by a combination of electric power and gasoline engine. To further complicate...
We are in Colorado, so cold/snow/ice in winter. We have been very happy with the Continental ProContact Eco Plus tires for year round use. Am on...
Thanks for the replies! This is what I figured. Keep going until failure...
So our car has performed flawlessly since 2005/135K miles. Still getting 55 mpg in the display in the summer, 45 mpg in the winter. Only issue is...
I highly recommend practicing with the ABS response under controlled conditions. It seems to me the Prius ABS is slow to re-apply the brakes after...
I was under the impression that "B" mode (engine braking) is not recommended with the Gen II Prius transmission.

The Prius is generally trouble free and simple to maintain. At this age/mileage, you need to check that spark plugs, transmission flush, brake...
Nothing says the new Gen 3 Prius will not have recalls/issues in the future or that you'll want to keep it 200,000 miles. Have you spent any time...
I would say one thing to consider is how many other Prii are in your locale? The rarer the car, the more expensive/troublesome repairs/spare parts...
Sucking out only two qts seems about right to me. You won't get whats in the oil filter (as has been mentioned). What I don't follow is the 4th qt...
First, wear some latex gloves to keep oil off your hands. Second, punch a hole in the bottom of the oil filter and let it drain before removing it.
Sounds about the same as I was quoted. $450 for water pump/serpentine belt (alone) + $400 for plugs, tranny service, brake fluid and brake adjust....
Thanks. Good to know. I will be replacing my 12V battery this upcoming week, so I guess everything will reset again.
I also put some cheaper "random" tires on a few sets ago, and noticed an immediate drop in mileage. I did the math and determined increased fuel...
