EH, I traded that POS Prius in years ago. Luckily I did, because I'm sure the resale value is tanking now. :D I'm just here to see how the...
Re: Toyota to recall the 2010 Prius The Gen II will be the next pile into the fan for Toyota. They've known about it for years, and their...
No, we're talking about the fact that if you're on bumpy pavement, it's possible to lose the brakes entirely when they switchover from regen to...
Honestly, what did you expect? You're basically buying a powertrain with a car around it. 3 miles of a test drive should have been enough to...
Actually, Apple's dirty little secret is they often ship with *lower* quality components than PCs. Integrated Intel Graphics and GeForce 93xx...
I would contend that with any system, there is a learning curve. For someone who was raised on windows, OSX may be daunting, and vice versa....
Bad example. With the Mac, you either stay up to date with MacOSX, or you lose support. For example, look at AdiumX (the best IM client on...
THey may have just put any number in there for the Echo. I think Echos were designed to self destruct if they went near a skid pad.
I'm not sure that I'd ever take my car on a skid pan, but ESC does help prevent accidents when driving on normal roads. That said, again,...
The concept is to provide the highest possible skidpad number a car can achieve. If a design decision with HSD prevents ESC from being disabled,...
Their policy is to report the highest number they achieve, and I think they run the test multiple times and report the highest number. It's not...
Edmunds policy has always been to test with ESC on and off and report the highest number, as that's what they're after. Makes sense. I don't see...
That's true, but there's a balance to be had. Overstiffness will lead to less grip, the same as excessive roll will lead to less grip. The...
Flatter cornering means more grip, as it keeps the suspension, and as a side effect, the tire, parallel with the road and the center of gravity...
Because that's what Toyota gives them. I know people here *love* to rush to knee-jerk reactions, but if you read the article on edmunds.com, it...
Exactly. It's also interesting to note that the Jetta is nearly 300 lbs heavier than the Prius (3230 lbs vs 2932), which may be why the Jetta...
My point is, and I realize it can be confusing without actually reading all of the posts... the Prius has this weird "sliding" motion when the ABS...
Just a quick note... I was doing under the speed limit and slowing for a yellow light. Hardly ripping it up.
I'll do you one better. Find a stretch of dry pavement, with some irregularities (bumps). Stop straight in both the Prius and TDI. Enjoy as the...
You don't even have to do anything that silly. There's a bumpy stretch of road near my house, and if I tried to stop with anything beyond...
