This is a very rude forum. I'm disgusted

    In regards to my previous thread about EMF and replies:

    What a load of abuse you idiots have written on here.

    Here's a thought:

    if you've nothing nice to write - don't write anything

    If you're sick of the same subject - ignore it.

    And, another point - despite your protestations, the Prius isn't perfect, its a boring, soul-less car to drive, that gets worse MPG than an average Diesel, is unresponsive and shoddily put together.

    I was looking for information, not abuse.

    If you've nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all.


    Who's to say I don't live in the highlands of scotland, with no mobile phone, no wifi internet, no TV, no bluetooth, no microwave, no TV. I have a simple, low key lifestyle and a genuine concern.

    I'm glad it's Scotland I'm living in, we tend to take people at face value here, rather than judge them for having concerns.

    Right oh, milking time, (in the diesel 4wd by the way)

    Thanks for nothing (apart from the couple of polite replies)

    Tim

    I said in the original EMF thread, I don't think most of the posters there were being rude, and I don't think the couple of snide "here we go again" replies were trying to insult you personally.

    At any rate, I think the Prius is a fun car because of all the technology packed into it (and not just the hybrid system).

    It's one of the more reliable cars out there, and it's untrue that it gets worse MPG than an average diesel. In fact, name a diesel of comparable size with as good mileage!

    Anyway, you're still welcome here if you have more questions.

    Hi. My Skoda Fabia 1.4 Diesel averages 60mpg. My Prius about 52 - 56.

    No brainer.

    Thanks

    I have to go to wikipedia as the Fabia is so tiny it is not sold here.

    Å koda Fabia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The first sentence seems to indicate you did not read bolder bum's post carefully: "The Å koda Fabia is a supermini produced by Czech manufacturer Å koda Auto since 1999."
    The Prius is a midsized car even by US standards, not supermini at all.

    Perhaps it is this lack of careful reading that is fueling your EMF concerns.

    Or ..... perhaps you're an arse.

    I have both cars parked outside, the Fabia is an estate by the way (Sorry, station wagon in yank)

    They're virtually identical in size. For a trip to Switzerland last year we opted to take the Skoda as its more comfy, roomier interior and a better drive.

    Wikipedia all you like - if you don't know thought, don't speak - easy eh!

    bloody hell this place is full of muppets!

    You knew that no one Stateside would have expert knowledge of a Eastern European car when you used it as your example, I toured the UK Skoda website, they relentlessly refused to show any textual or pictorial information about the back seats.

    Tim I am afraid we will just have to agree to disagree. As your pursuit of acrimony seems unabated, I shall lower my annoyance level by refusing to fuel it. I wish you all the best in your further life.

    You're breaking your own rules there, buddy. He who says "if you've nothing nice to write - don't write anything" is now calling members arses and muppets.

    And I take offense to the new language called "yank".

    How do you say "get lost" in kilt?

    Normally, newbies with 15 posts don't post inflamatory threads. Could this be a troll looking for some excitement?

    Considering you got 6+ replys that told you there are far more dangerous things that have an EMF problem than a Prius, your refusal to actually read the links provided, and the belief in your head that the Prius is a rolling microwave oven, makes me wonder if you really actually give a damn! You seem to want to promote a idea that has been pretty much been driven into the ground!
    EMF is NOT an issue with the Prius.
    If you feel your in danger, sell the car, ride a goat, do whatever makes you feel safe. If you think the world is going to share your unfounded concerns over the Prius EMF issue, and you seem to throw a snit when we do not agree with ya....well that throws you into the following catagory...

    We're all human here, some of us more than others.

    As for EMF: after more than 40 years of looking there is no clear evidence that it has any health effects at field strengths that can be found outside of a laboratory. Early studies suggesting links to power lines and workplaces failed to control for chemical exposures common in those environments. If you can find any such evidence please let us know, but it's highly likely that it would be all over the media anyway. In contrast, exposure to Diesel particulate exhaust has very clear and significant health risks.
