I'm driving the 2016 Prius next week. What do you want to know?

okay, you can delete mine. i was just being a wise a$$.

 

Does he Rear View Mirror still vibrate like crazy with the radio on?

 

i hope so.

 

Is there any jerkiness at a constant speed on the highway - i.e., power switching back and forth between electrical and gas power.
Gen II had some subtle noticeable back and forth interplay, but much reduced if not gone in Gen III - hopefully they didn't take a step backwards.

When is your drive next week? Early week or late week?

 

Who knows, I wouldnt judge German options based on UK ones though.

 

Any changes to navigation like search input while driving? How about opening all doors with touch?

 

Gen 3 can be set up to unlock all doors with touch. Don't recall if it owner can do it or just Toyota.

 

Visibility (blind spots, backing up, etc.)

 

So can Gen 2 (I have it that way on my 2004).

 

have they improved the sun visors?

 

They sense solar intensity and constantly vary their opacity, a common sense adjustment to climate change.

 

excellent, thanks!

 

Another vote for inquiring about AWD in the US.

 

The engine can be off at around 70 mph, according to the engineer presentation slides (pg.16).

 

Great improvement - I hope it is true. How do you get 70MPH from that chart on page 16? My chart has no units on the X or Y scale.

 

We know Gen3 shuts down at 45mph (70kmh). So 110 kmh for Gen4 is 70mph.

See @giora post: Toyota Unveils Fuel-saving Technologies for New Prius | Page 6 | PriusChat

 

Owner can do it. Page 48 in Owners Manual:



I always opt to use the lock and unlock button, not the panic button, just in case.

 

I wonder how @Danny is doing.

 

Probably doesn't wont to get out of the new Prius anymore....
