How long is the initial XM subscription from the dealer and does that include XM traffic?
Can I change MX channels one at time from the steering wheel? It seems to only change through the presets.
Bob Wilson who posts here and elsewhere did a trial with his brand new '10 and intentionally ran it out of gas 2 or 3 times to test what the reserve was. It's 2 gal +/- 0.1 gal or so.
So yes when the indicator comes on you're not dead in the water, you can drive about 100 mi. But do so at your own risk. That's from someone who's run out of gas 6 times in his 05 Prius...
I also tried driving in the ECO mode this tank and so far I have been getting 55 mpg instead of 50 mpg when drives in normal mode.
Also, when I switch to audio or some other control on the left, after a minute or so, it goes back to the bluetooth or map screen automatically though I just want it to remain on the audio screen. Is there a way to change that?
Thanks.
Hope this helps...
Any ideas? Thanks, Stacy
Do you all agree?
Yes your assumption is correct. All Toyota's have this reserve. It's the same on my 2005 Prius. You can drive another 100 miles or so searching for the perfect refill at that time .
Thanks all!
Do you see any issues if I left the headlights on all the time? I'm not used to having to turn them on and if I just left them on all the time, that would be really convenient for me. What do you think? Would that pose any problem for the car?
Thanks again.
I have the upgraded JBL system and navi.
Thanks all.
Does the car present mechanical problems often?
What are the most common problems?
Is it easy for mechanics to solve problems out?
Only trained mechanics can see over electrical problems?
This is more a business oportunity: Do you know of any company interested in offering training courses for our guys here? We may buy the whole package either we send our people to the US or someone comes to train our staff here?

While the 2010 model is superior in performance and mileage, I would recommend using 2009 models. They will be cheaper to purchase, there will be few if any TSB's and they are very reliable. You might consider one 2010 to respond to complaints or performance issues that might occur with 2009 models. For example, I live in the mountains and there is a performance issue climbing LONG, STEEP, STRAIGHT mountain passes. I think the 2010 will do significantly better in those circumstances but I still use my 2004 to make that trip three or four times a year.
To answer your questions. My 2004 does not have frequent problems of any sort so that the rest of the questions don't matter but if I were driving in Brazil, I would take a 2009 not a 2010.
The $200 mat is really thin and crappy, can I request to pay a little extra to upgrade to all all-season mat (may even costs less)?
What a load of horse doo...
Where I live in LA, there are mostly hand wash carwashes to go to if I wanted to have someone else wash my car. They won't be as careful as I am washing the car. Would this be risky or okay for my Prius?
Thanks for your feedback!
