Hi, Traded in my 02 for an 09 and like the hatchback an other improvemtents. However, I don't like the back up bell. Reminds me of the OSHA bells on fork...

Is the back seat room in the '10 larger than in the 2nd generation? I have an elderly dad that can not fit in my 06 because of his need for a roomier back...
I have an 05 and have been using Mobil 1 5W-30 from the beginning. My wife only puts about 4000 per yr on the car. I have been changing the oil every six...
I clicked on the link you provided, and read them. I do not remember anything about pressing park on the seat-belt mod. I must have missed that. I have tried...
Kind of reminds me of when I disconnected the "Key is in the ignition" buzzer in my 1974 Mercedes 240D many years ago and proceeded to lock my keys in the car...
Waiting to buy a 2010 Prius or Honda. We live part-time in US, and fly to Central Mexico where we spend the rest of the time. We're away for up to 3 months at...
I learned to use the radio in my new 2009 Prius while parked in my garage. I learned how to find out who was singing what song. I have had other cars that...
My dealer says that the inverter coolant system and engine coolant is one and the same. Change the fluid on one, changes it for both. Is this so? BTW: I have...
... I don't see how it would be possible for your question to be answered since no one outside of Honda has driven a 2010 model yet, much less had three months...
Should be the same deal; but even better, just hook up a $7 little charger and a $5 mechanical timer, and give the 12V battery only 0.5 to 1 hour/day of...
Perhaps they meant it *should* be changed at the same time. If not, then you've got another dealer who doesn't know what they're talking about. I would not...
As Levi suggests there are two independent, similarly sized loops both filled with the same liquid. As far as silent recalss I know that a small number of...
Why rely on a cheap mechanical timer? What if it gets stuck on and overcharges and ruins the battery? What if it gets stuck off and the battery will be dead?...
Yes, a battery maintainer may be 'better', but a reliable one will cost about $60 or so -- and in the final analysis not produce meaningfully different...
I drove a Honda (InSight) early last month... Didn't ask about the battery, but I could as I plan on going up there. A salesman I BS with there has never...
I just parked my van for a month, the dealership told me there is a charger I can get for like $75 that will maintain it while its parked. At first I thought...
A) Cars now a days have those 5MPH bumpers so if you do BUMP something, no damage will happen. 2) I check my mirrors and the camera (for low stuff) before...
Hi Charles, If you are concerned about maintaining the 5 year/60K powertrain warranty then you'll need to demonstrate that oil changes were performed every six...
http://www.autoweek.com/article/20090505/ALMS/905059987 Oh yes (OPC) - just ordered my second set of Nokians today - 175/65 this time. First set of 185/60...
Jerry Jorgenson has just provided me with some great Prius Tire Information that I've just added to my Hybrid House and Car Google "Knol". I'm now running my...
It was strongly suggested to change the coolant at my 60k service. This total service which combined all else from my "blue service book" cost me $389.00 Was...
As I've been posting here for years, we have been running 44/42 in our '04 for a long time, since potholes and rough roads are fairly rare here in sunny...
... Engine coolant or inverter coolant? My understanding is that the coolant slowly absorbs water from the environment. As such, it gets more and more dilute,...
I had my coolant changed at 65,000 miles 2006 Prius. Mainly on advice of dealer who reported that they have seen it break down sooner than the book ...
Hi Linda, If you consult the Toyota scheduled maintenance guide you will see that the factory-fill coolant is good for 100K miles; then the coolant is supposed...
Hey, My Toyota dealer (Rockland Toyota) has been adding the item "753 Throttle Cleaner" for $11.95 to each of my 5k service intervals. This is not mentioned in...
Hmm, well if it's a throttle body cleaner and it cleans up the throttle plate, it might be a good thing. But every 5K miles seems like plenty often. But for...
