International survey for Prius owners and fans

A comprehensive survey about improvements on the Prius went online on the 3rd of July! This survey is primarily aimed at European Prius owners (there are a few questions concerning typically European problems, like "no chance to disable reverse beep" and "Coolant Heat Storage System not available"), but since most issues of the survey are rather universal, we decided to post this invitation here as well. The survey contains over 50 points, asking how important/unimportant you consider them to be. We’ll present the results of the survey to the Toyota branches in those countries where many participants live. The more people join in, the better Toyota will pay attention.

To give as many people as possible a chance to participate, we’re offering versions in three languages: German, English and Dutch. During the first 10 days we received 117 reactions in German, 66 in English and 39 in Dutch. We should be able to get a substantial increase of those numbers!

The survey is at the website www.priusfreunde.de.
At the left side you’ll see a button “Umfrage / Survey / Enquete†to get to the page, where you can choose the appropriate language.

A direct way to the preferred language version is:
For English: survey.priusfreunde.de
For German: umfrage.priusfreunde.de
For Dutch: enquete.priusfreunde.de

Please join in! Let’s make it hard for Toyota to ignore this!

Thanks a lot for participating.
The list is the result of collecting questions from many people on a Prius meeting in Germany, showing them to "beta testers", who came up with additional points, and repeating this beta testing a few times. Of course we've "forgotten" things. We could have had more, but we thought that 50, 60 questions would be the maximum in one survey. That's why there is a text field where you can tell us what you missed. These new questions may become part of a follow-up survey.

The number of questions about beeping is caused by the fact, that Toyota simply doesn't allow us Europeans to disable the reverse beep (not even if parking sensors are present, beeping simultaniously), which gets on many people's nerves. There have been endless posts about it in the forums over here, so people are quite focussed on this.
