The real economic benefits of hybrid ownership go to those who buy new and unload it before its 15th birthday. If the car is already burning oil,...
Sorry for the bad news but yeah, that's a primary symptom of head gasket failure. The best test to confirm this is to remove the sparkplugs and...
his car is an Aqua, aka Prius c. That's the battery fan which lives under the left rear seat. Fan behavior is just another symptom of the as-yet...
Ah gotcha. We'd always planned on keeping that one 8-12 years and even though our usage is now below predictions, it's not enough to change the...
What made you think we didn't have it? Anyway it's only got about 92k on it now. One of the many things that changed permanently during the...
I'm working in rural NY this week, and it's a mild summer, so there are classic cars out all over the place. Too many to list. There was one car...
Probably matters where it was delivered. In the USA markets, we didn't get the 1800 until the 1975 model year, and that was the first...
I haven't done a front bearing on ours yet, can't give you anything firsthand. From what I've seen they aren't that different from most other FWD...

I had an uber ride in a Kia Niro electric today. I didn't notice the odometer but the interior was rough, chunks missing from the steering wheel,...
Well, those are the ones I'd look at first anyway. With miles like that on something that new I'd generally expect it was a taxi or rideshare...
Get the bumper cover off, there are youtubes showing how. That'll be the first step no matter what repair method you choose. Once that's off, you...
It is difficult to tell if that stuff has been used without destroying the radiator in the process, even for a pro. All I can say is look for the...
The 3rd generation cars had a similar heat exchanger. It doesn't seem to have leaked as much as the one in 4th generation cars. Most of that...
My other advice for Prius-shopping: buy the youngest one you can afford and ignore the odometer, for the most part. Prius hybrid batteries will go...
