Only on PriusChat would 44/40 be considered "dismal fuel economy" :D ;) IMO, size and equipment-wise, the v's nearest competitor is the Mazda5,...
[NOTE: I wrote this up for another, all-makes car forum, so please forgive the non-PriusChat specific language. I figured if I wrote the whole...
Freezing temps are back, so I've dipped down into the mid 40's again. Last winter was closer to 40 all season, hoping now that the car is broken...
I run my OEM Yokos (summer) and Hankook iPike's (winter) at 38 psi all around. On our crap New England roads I get my teeth rattled if I go...
I've accidentally snuck up on folks in parking lots and such. People just don't hear it and I've actually had a near-miss or 2. A Prius in EV...

Brief bursts of high 80's on my recent trip to NC from VT. Car felt fine, but I could feel my insurance rate tingling. Generally I travel at...
Thanks for all the suggestions! A few filters and the rubber cargo area mat is probably what I'll do. I need to protect the cargo carpet for...
I won a $200 gift Cert to a big, not-local Toyota dealership at a raffle this weekend. Since I'll never service my car there it seems smart to use...
