I have a 2014 Prius V three with 124k and I changed my oil at the dealership every 6,000 miles, did all of the maintenance they told me the car needed and at 122k the head gasket blew. I took excellent care of my car. I used Barr’s head gasket sealant 1400 miles ago, and so far, so good. Except for the head gasket, I haven’t had any major issues.

Spot on about Plugin Hybrids, the newest Hybrids from Toyota were seamless. During the gas ransom attack, I filled up my Camry Hybrid in Tennessee and was able to Drive to SC and back without worrying at all about finding gas which was difficult. Just think what a mess it would be after a Hurricane or something with everyone owning an all Electric POS. But an intelligent approach would require intelligent politicians! Good luck with that! They’re stupidity will only succeed in putting more American car companies out of business which may be their overall goal!

The weak part of this model was the low tension piston rings. At about135k miles, our 2010 suddenly started using a quart of oil every 900 miles. I traded it in for a Chevrolet Volt PHEV with exactly the benefits Scotty describes. The computer forces the engine to use up gasoline every 6 months so it doesn't go stale. If we don't go to Grandma's house, 4 gallons is plenty for 6 months. The engine run 15 minutes every month to lubricate the seals. The oil needs to be changed every 24 months. By which time, it may have burned only16 gallons. Another benefit of the PHEV is no range anxiety or problems due to forgetting to plug it in.

@restoreamerica1558 Жыл бұрын

You are spot on Scotty about Hybrid’s vs. Electric. I owned a hybrid Camry and it was a awesome big car and got great MPG. It was much larger than my older gas only model and got 50+. I’ve said for years, improving Hybrids would be less damaging for the economy, allow for infrastructure to catch up and makes the most sense. It also would allow the battery technology improve and be a practical solution that would work for everyone regardless of their location and driving needs. But that would require our government to have some common sense. Good luck on that!

@@wilkoone9155 well then maybe you should run for President! 😪. First it conserves what resources we have and lower usage while the technology can improve and people adapt. Gives a sensible timeline to build the Infrastructure to support a all electric utopia that your shooting for. Plug in hybrid can eventually improve the conversion process and still work for people in mountainous , cold and rural areas were electric vehicles of today are still not practical. You have farmers and construction workers who rely on large work trucks to do business, moving to hybrid temporarily will be an acceptable transition as technology improves and becomes more affordable for the masses. And most importantly it will be less destructive to the industry that we need and still will need for many years to support the transition. But this would be a common sense approach not a crazy activist one, and there seems to be little common sense left anymore. If electric vehicles were ready for mass production, why is almost nobody in government using them for themselves?

I agree with you, Scotty. Car manufacturer should be making more plug-in hybrids. My wife and I are on our third hybrid. Our first was a used one, a 2007 Prius (fully loaded) that we picked up for $6K CDN. Drove it 3 years until someone ran into it (writing it off). The insurance company gave us $6600, $600 more than we paid for it. Next we bought a used RAV4 Hybrid, also fully loaded. It’s exceptional. Great in the snow too. Last week we picked up a Prius C, 83K km, super clean and well maintained, cost us $8300 CDN. Amazing fuel economy in a fun little city runabout. The info menu will tell you practical things (like the percentage of EV usage and the cost of each trip - provided you enter the cost per litre when you gas up). It even breaks it down to the cost per km (or mile). It’s easy to use, intuitive, and honestly - it’s fun! They’re practical cars too, being hatchbacks.

After a cross-country trip in my then-new ‘07 FJ Cruiser, I was so tired of the too-frequent fuel stops, so when I got home I bought a new Prius. The range was so refreshing, but the darned thing was not made for me. I’m 6’5”, and within a year I was hitting the chiropractor weekly for a tune-up. Yes, the Prius was ugly as heck, but my timing was perfect: there was a hybrid battery production snafu going on, thus no new Prius were available. I pulled into a dealer somewhere and got absolutely swamped by sales sharks and managers. Sold it on the spot for 15k more than I paid for it. Got a ride to the airport, flew home, and bought another Land Cruiser (sold the FJ-C). Life is good sometimes. 👍

Tyler Hoover (Hoovies Garage) hooked up nitrous to his prius. Blew a hole in the engine. Proved that a prius can't handle nitrous.

I was expecting the Chrysler PT Cruiser to be the most hated car ever. I actually have no problem with Priuses, but I do tend to dislike the holier-than-thou eco-zealots that you used to find behind the wheel of those vehicles. These days those people tend to drive EVs tho, so the Prius is out of the woods as far as I am concerned.

Scotty, you need to press the fuel pedal to keep the engine running. Also do not put down something you know very little of. Why do most taxi companies drive them . They are the best bang for the buck.

just a story about my tire sensors. I am in Europe so I have Peugeot 807 12 yrs old (big family car) first owner 200K km so far. Well, one of my sensors died and I asked for a replacement in Peugeot service. Shocked as the price was like a new Michelin tire. I asked to make my sensor inoperable as I didn't want to waste money on it. Officially this is impossible but they did it for me. I paid around 10$ for this job on all 4 corners. Frankly speaking, I don't need it.

I'm driving a 2009 Prius with 234000mi. No problems, next to no maintenance, just a little less agile since the battery is aging. OEM battery is $2000, less for aftermarket. Compare that to well over $10k for EV batteries... I agree completely about PHEVs (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles). The only reason I didn't get one is because I can't afford a newer car and the best option for an older PHEV, the Chevy Volt, is hard to find and the guy I was going to buy one from bailed on me. My next car will almost certainly be a PHEV. And given Toyota's solid engineering and rock solid reliability, I'll probably be going with a Prius Prime.

Ours has 267,000, my grandparents have one with over 400,000 and my father in-laws has almost 350,000. I drive mine pretty hard 100 miles a day to work and back, I couldn't do it without it. They all look and run like they're new

I don't know why everyone is skipping Hybrids, and going straight to EVs. Hybrids seem more practical until the infrastructure for full EVs is better. Even if the motor is only used to charge or supplement the battery and not provide drive train power, it would be better than full EV right now.

That would have been the ideal car when I was a traveling salesman driving all over states like South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland and Indiana in the late 80's and early 90's... I would definitely look at a Toyota Hybrid over an EV if I was traveling like that today.

I don’t have a problem with the vehicle, my problem is with the drivers of Toyota Prius. If someone pulls an idiotic move on the road @ least 50% of the time it’s going to be a Toyota Prius driver in my experience.
