This I have to say about my Prius; it has tons of breaks. I had to panic stop a few weeks after getting it and I thought I was going to be torn outta my seat...
I don't mind a tax based on mileage, so long as the existing pay at the pump gas tax is calculated as part of it. But I do not want a government GPS on my car....
... Sounds like you got a lemon! Most Prius owners are very unhappy when their car has a lot of breaks. ... Ooooh! Your car has "tons of" BRAKES. Glad they...
... That's a fair point I suppose. I didn't consider the idea that location might matter. I'd still want to see the code though, and have some proof that the...
10 cents per mile???? Lemme see, in my current high tax state of California, gas taxes add about $.80 per gallon. At 45mpg, that's less than 2 cents per...
Taxes aside...let's take this GPS idea to the logical (big-brother) conclusion, and say that we would automatically get a ticket every time we went over the...
GPS transportation tax. I can see "homeland security" rubbing their hands, hoping this one will get enacted. And we will never know. Course they already...
... A very interesting topic probably worthy of its own thread. Please describe how the brakes felt? I did 2 panic stops in 2001 Prius and both times I was...
While on the subject, I installed new General Altimax HP (southern clime) tires a couple of weeks ago and had to make an emergency stop soon thereafter. I...
I have lost a pair of keys in one of my two homes, and looked everywhere. Is there a way to build something to help locate it? Since it's the smart-key type,...
My 05 Prius had a problematic 12V battery - I'd have to jump it when it sat for more than a few days. Finally I went to Orlando Toyota and had it replaced....
Hi All, new to the group and had some questions on tire wear / alignment. We have the 2008 Prius we purchased new in May 2008. We do not have a dealer in...
... Look in the cracks of the seats - you can lose a lot of stuff between the drivers seat and the console, and you might lose something between the backrest...
If the wear is fairly even across and around the tire, it is probably normal. The original tires on Prius are notorious for short lives. If the wear is mostly...
Hmmmmm, "pair of keys" not set of keys. Try looking in the pockets of a "pair of pants". Maybe the pants you wore to a party, wedding or special occasion. ...
2004 alignment specs - later years should be similar: http://www.vfaq.net/docs/alignment.html It's still best (for tire wear) to try for zero toe front AND...
The integras wear on the outside if you set the tire presure to the 37 front 35 rear recommended by toyota. 42/40 is a much better setting and you probably...
When A/C is lit up on the dash does the Prius use more energy than when the light is off, even in cold weather? For example it's 55F degrees outside and...
... To determine if it is in the car all you have to do is try to start the car making sure you don't have the other one in the proximity. The last time, uh!,...
The car will run the AC compressor as needed, but yes, it may be running it when you have the temp set higher than outside in order to dehumidify the air. If...
A/C in this case means 'air conditioning' -- not 'air cooling'. Heating the air is also 'conditioning' it. In the Prius (actually in all cars) heating air also...

Evidently this is NOT true any more - the SKS ECU *can* be reprogrammed with a new seed. However, not all dealerships know that from what I've seen. ... -- ...
At 04:38 PM 4/3/2009, Bill G ... I'm curious as to whether the solar panel at $3.00 a gallon with a 10-year life span will come close to paying for itself. It...
Lee --- Understand that the Solar Panels embedded in the roof of the 2010 Prius only power a stand-alone auxiliary cabin ventilation fan that is electrically...
That's good news if true. I have the NON-Smart-Key saystem and reprogrammed the car to two new fobs. The one remaining MASTER fob I have was necessary in the...
