Do you own a Toyota Prius? Hi Everyone - This is for everyone that owns a Toyota Prius - 2003 - 2007 models. Did you know that all the other Prius's sold around the world have an EV button? That means that they can push that button, and the battery will operate the vehicle a lot more then the engine. Toyota disabled this feature on all the North American sold Prius's. So, if you are liking that 60/59 MPG, how would you like 80/59? The Prius you own has the capability to run on EV only mode. All you need is a couple wires. http://www.coastaletech.com/electric_only_mode.htm Check out that link. I don't own the website, or have anything to do with them. It was just a result of a google.com search for Prius EV Mode. My Uncle owns a Prius, and did it himself. So, you can learn how to set it up, and buy your supplys from a hardware store if you want. E-Mail me if you decide to do this, I want to know! XSDirect@msn.com No not spam, I just want to do my part to inform people how to save money, and in turn it helps with preventing global warming. I am very close to the environment, and love nature. If it saves you money, why not do it? The link I provided was just a google search I did. You can google.com a search yourself, and use any website reference you want to. I don't even own a prius. I have an 06 hyundai accent, with a hydrogen generator I made inside of it. I get great gas mileage. If you hooked up a hydrogen kit to a prius, people would probably get around 130mpg! Depending on how they drive, and a few other factors.
Anyone owns a Toyota Prius for over 2 years? Hi, I am looking at some low-emission cars and definitely Prius is the first one I can think of. But, I found a lot of owners are complaining how much it costs them to fix everything single little thing on the Prius. On some website say it drive 50-60mpg. But on the sticker, it say 41 or so... Would any Prius owners tell me how far can you drive in average? How much it cost to do oil change and where do you go to fix your Prius besides Toyota Dealers? I heard too many bad stories about how the Toyota dealers rip people off. And how much was your "out of the door" price? Is it really worth to pay 24000 for a hybrid car? Well, anything about Prius will help. Thanks!
Toyota Prius problems? 2006 Prius / 47 000kms — when I come to a full stop at a red light the gasoline engine runs high (energy monitor races up to 99.9) it stays so for a little bit, then shudders or abruptly switches to electric motor. Also when I start out (under 15km/hr, sometimes without foot even on gas pedal), the gasoline engine "comes on" very obviously and the energy monitor shows numbers in the 20s...30s.... With window rolled down, engine noise seems loud and somewhat "sputtering". Does anyone elses Prius behave like this? — no other Prius owner I've talked to seems to experience this, but I thought I'd cast a wider net. Toyota tells me this is normal.
Toyota Prius batteries? I am about to purchase a Toyota Prius. But it is my first hybrid. Will I have to recharge the batteries over night or do they recharge on their own while I'm driving? And if I have to recharge them could I purchase a little generator to avoid using the house current? Thanks.
What is the life span of a Toyota Prius? The Toyota Prius is really attractive, and not very expensive. I want to buy it, but I'm a little worried about the life span of a Prius. I know it's a Toyota, but is it true that the batteries usually don't last longer than 200k? Also, I heard that by the time the car gets to 100k, the MPG goes under 40. If these are true, I will be going with a Camry, Corolla, Civic, or Accord because they have REALLY long life spans (200k+ miles). I know that new owners are very satisfied, but what if the car reaches 100k? 150k? 200k? I'm deciding between the Prius and the Honda Civic. According to my calculations, it would take around 14 years for the Prius and Civic to break even in price. After then, the Prius would become the better deal. However, I heard that the Civic can last FOREVER (300k+ miles), and that the Prius doesn't last more than 180k miles. So... which one should I choose? Thanks!
Toyota Prius Owners: Pros and Cons? My fiance and I are looking into getting a new Prius next year for our first car. We definitely want a Toyota (they're great cars) and we are really leaning toward a hybrid, but other suggestions are welcome. We both had a few questions and concerns though. The Prius is a little of out of our price range, but we thought it would be worth it with all the money we would save on gas. How many m.p.g. do you get on average? Also, I read that the hybrid battery lasts upto about 150,000 miles and then needs to be replaced. Is that true? I would like honest and informative answers from owners. Thanks a lot! I did test drive it, and I LOVED it! I have a VW and will NEVER buy another one. That car is cursed, and horribly expensive to fix.
Toyota Prius with high miles? My 2005 Toyota Prius is just about to hit 90,000 miles. Does anyone have a Prius with high miles on it? Can I expect problems after I hit the 100,000 mile mark and lose my warranty?
toyota prius viewing problem? i don't feel toyota prius has enough front view. I can't see left or right edge. Therefore, it is hard to estimate how far it is to right and to left. I am having those concerns while i am parking. I took much more effort and guessing while i am parking since i get the new 2008 prius. is it the same for others? if it is just me, how do i overcome it?
Toyota Prius - buy now or wait for new model? I was going to buy a Toyota Prius next week but I'm hesitating because I'm wondering if I should just wait for the new model. I believe the new model is expected next year at a rumored 90mpg (realistically 70mpg), so if tha'ts the case shouldn't I wait? but i'd really like to get a hybrid now, and the carpool lane benefit is a nice plus. I drive a 2005 accord right now. Anyone knowledgeble about hybrids/prius that can give me some advice? Thanks.
Toyota Prius-- advice from REAL OWNERS!!!? I am going to buy a toyota prius or the similar variation from toyota within 6 months. I have 3 questions--- a) open comments/opinions...? b) does it have a a/c outlet for my laptop computer? c) from your PERSONAL EXPERIENCE what is the mpg? I can go to the website and it says 51 highway/ 58 city. I'm not a guppy consumer, what is a "real consumer report" of estimated gas mileage. I was "burned" by listening to a salesman 5 years ago when I bought my first car. He said a Chevy Monte-Carlo got great gas mileage and great resale value. Also, if you wish to include any extraneous information to me, I will consider that of higher priority than that of consumers-exploiting-consumers. I HATE the fact that "gas money" 90% of it goes to humans who have opposite political philosophy--but thats just my personal raging opinion. Best answer goes to whoever provides me with the most satisfying delightful sentences, full of knowledge and hope.

Toyota Prius tires? How many miles can a Toyota Prius tire go? How much does it cost compared to conventional tires?
Toyota Prius Manual confusion? Is it just me, or is the Prius owners manual really hard to read and understand? The order of the information is illogical, - some stuff that you need when you first use the car is at the back of the book. Some information is at the front of the book, but you have to refer to two or three other pages before you get the full picture. Pure chaos. Worst of all is the seperate book for the Sat Nav. I have owned the car for about a month, and still not got to grips with how to use it. I had a Volvo before, and the manual was so logically set out - This Toyota effort is so unToyota like. The car itself is brilliant, but it seems to me that they gave the job of writing the manual to someone who had only done two years of English. Is there an alternative on the web that I can refer to or does anyone have any other ideas?
Toyota Prius Tyre Pressure? When I recently took delivery of my '06 Toyota Prius, the tyres were all pumped to 180Kpa, and the ride was excellent.

Can I safely reduce the pressure without compromising ride, fuel consumption and tyre life?

Toyota Prius Tax Credit? Does Toyota still offer the $2000 tax credit when you buy a Prius hybrid or did the government stop that offer? Pinecrest..... That WASN'T the question. If I wanted your opinion on the looks of the car I would have asked that. I'm sure it's better looking than your girlfriend/wife. Wait a minute, you probably don't have either since you are obviously a complete moron!
