Interesting thread. I think the number one complaint I had when I was driving my Prius was that people perceived me to be an environmentalist,...
Thank you for the offer, but the engine was fine; the hybrid motor was bad, and I already got the repairs completed.
I actually purchased it Dec 4, 2006. According to my records, gas then was about $2.50-ish a gallon, not $4.50. As for gas going up to $5.00/ga,...
This makes some sense. But as far as performance goes, I wonder how much more we'd be seeing, since diesel and electricity are both known for...
This is true, but most of the traditional car maintenance for the Prius was done at my friend's repair shop, and once the VW is out of warranty, I...
No, I bought it here in CA, specifically from Claremont Toyota. Not the best dealership - I got Pasadena Toyota to check my battery while it was...
For the record, I bought the car well before gas hit the roof. Plus I have taken full advantage of the carpool stickers. I don't forsee gas...
Toyota said it was only covered up to 8 years/80K miles. I'd rather get a few root canals than deal with the Toyota dealer.
So for an update - car works fine since they replaced the transmission with a used rebuilt with 43K miles. I still plan on selling the Prius,...
They said it was in the ATF when they drained it. I probably didn't change it as often as I should, thanks to listening to the dealer's advice,...
I went to see the car today with the insurance claims agent, and the mechanic was driving the car out. I didn't get many details, as he was...
Good question. I honestly didn't check until recently. Makes me wonder what other problems underlie, if it's burning oil, which isn't a good...
The transmission fluid was changed once - I was told it didn't have to be changed often, and boy were they wrong. All fluids were changed at...
He ordered a used transmission with warranty - apparently, the hybrid motor and planetary gears are all one unit, which is rather annoying. Then...
@uart - They're awesome companions - I just wish the shedding was controlled. It's worse having a long haired German Shepherd. @cwedna -I'm...
Sad that my car is in repair, and today marks only the 4 year anniversary of owning it. I was hoping that it would've lasted 8 years total. I'm...
@uart - Off topic, but is your dog in the picture a German Shepherd? I adopted one 4 months ago; unfortunately he sheds a lot and it shows on the...
I've thought before of buying another Gen II, but I've also thought against it. My car has been fairly reliable, but a lack of features has been...
@uart: I last checked the oil 3 days prior and I had some. There are no signs of leaks in the garage, so it doesn't make sense. @That_Prius:...
For what it's worth, this is the yelp review for the shop I took my Prius to: Accurate Autoworks - Pasadena - Pasadena, CA
