The Flip Side of the Perfect Prius

Featured Replies

From the Seattle Weekly, via Autoextremist:

Toyota. Things are not quite rosy at Shiny Happy People Headquarters it seems. The Seattle Weekly posted an interesting article last week that has numerous accounts of scary, phantom acceleration and other bad behavior on the part of the saintly Prius hybrid. Sounds like a giant bowl of Not Good to us. Go to

Seattle Weekly Article on Prius problems

I believe this was already posted on the site.

Well take bad news about the Prius twice if we have to :D

Really..haven't seen it posted. It's a recent article that appeared on Autoextremist on Monday.

All I have to say is...if you want a high fuel economy car...think TDI Clean Diesel!

I thought my car had phantom acceleration... but it just turned out that my right leg is a maniac. ;-)
