#207 of 212 Re: With a few more thousand miles on the odometer... [dnatech] by elias Oct 26, 2009 (5:39 am)
Replying to: dnatech (Oct 24, 2009 3:07 am) proper ice+snow tires can solve the traction problem for prius in winter, for most cases. but if there's no way to disengage traction control, that's a blocker problem for new england winter driving, as far as I understand. When stuck on certain kinds of snow/ice conditions, the only way to get the car moving is to rock the car back and forth, intentionally spinning the wheels- with traction control OFF .

Replying to: dnatech (Oct 24, 2009 3:07 am) I liked the looks of the Prius.Beautiful futuristic body style. They sell more hybrids than all the others combined. The Insight handles better than the Prius. Seems more like a real car. Prius gets better mileage. However, the biggest kicker and deal-breaker for me was that dash display in the middle. I think it is ridiculous that they put it in the middle. I would never buy a car with a dash like that. I hate that dash. That's just my personal opinion. Obviously, I am in the minority because they sure have sold a lot of Prius'.
#209 of 212 Agree re Prius dash by barb36jack31 Nov 04, 2009 (6:56 pm)
eWas all set to buy the new Prius. Sat in the driver's seat and realized I could not read the center positioned instruments. What a disppointment! Did not buy. Am now looking at the Insight. Who knows?
#210 of 212 Insight more visible on the Net! by dnatech Nov 14, 2009 (11:44 am)
Finally starting to see more of Insights in New England and the car is mentioned more often on the internet in comparison with other cars. I guess people only think of the Prius which is so common. Glad to read I am not the only one who cannot comprehend why the display is in the middle of dashboard in the Prius? Replies to this message: mickeyrom (Nov 14, 2009 12:10 pm)

#212 of 212 Short trip to France by dnatech Nov 22, 2009 (4:15 am)
Well France has many different cars on the road than the ones we have here. However, the cars here like Honda fit & Nissan Versa are starting to make the USA look more like France. Did see a few "Priuses" and saw more Japanese cars, but French and Europeans cars dominate the market. The gas is so expensive that French people stick to 4 cylinder cars and there are very few big cars! Somehow though, the cars idling in the traffic jams make an awful smell, just wondering if their gasoline is different than here, it's not a diesel odor?
