I have a question for 2010 Prius owners who had owned the Prius Gen2 hybrids.... What driving mode does the old Prius feel like compared to the new one... e.g. does the new Prius Power mode match the older Prius? does it match the ECO mode or somewhere in between?
That is kind of a tough question. The GIII definitely has more power in all 3 modes, its just where the power comes in on the pedal that changes. (power mode front loads it and eco mode end loads it). So if you are asking strictly about power then the GIII is far superior. If you are asking which mode would the GII be in all the time it would be normal mode (1/4 pedal = 1/4 throttle, 1/2 pedal = 1/2 throttle, 3/4 pedal = 3/4 throttle ... etc) G
I'd say Gen II matches somewhere slightly below "Normal". The Gen I felt a lot close to ECO (though not quite as sluggish).
