    Hello all. I have a 2013 Prius. I'm new to the whole Prius thing but really love my car so far. I have had a issue from day 1. I have asked around and everyone has told me it is simply a Prius Quirk and that they all do it. I have also taken it to a dealer who said the same thing and that nothing was wrong, but I thought I read some where that it could be a CVT issue or bad transaxle fluid.

    When I start to roll under power for the first 1mph it sort of does this weird little vibration. The more I drive in a day it becomes slightly more pronounced. It is very minor but worries me. Is this something that should worry me?

    Thank you!

    congrats and welcome!

    i'm kind of numb, and don't notice much. but the prius is definitely different from a straight gasser. i recommend test driving a new one to compare.
