Replying to: kdhspyder (Nov 02, 2009 7:47 pm) Thank you! I tried this and it works fine.   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.

When you load CD's into your player, does the navi screen show the CD name or anything other than NO DATA FOUND?   I have the upgraded JBL system and navi.   Thanks all.

#351 of 364 Prius for Brazil by victorbrazil Nov 08, 2009 (3:53 am)
Hello there. We are bringing 10 Toyota Prius to Brazil in an independent project since the factory still do not make this model here. The car has a new concept so I would like to ask, what are the main concerns from technical point of view. We have to worry since we will not have official technical support from the factory. 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? Contact me at victor.leytonouroverdetl.com.br   Wair for your commmentaries.   Victor Replies to this message: stevegold (Nov 08, 2009 6:00 am) victorbrazil (Nov 09, 2009 2:04 am)

Replying to: victorbrazil (Nov 08, 2009 3:53 am) Are you buying 2010 or 2009 models. I think that makes a big difference. I have a 2004 (same as 2009) which has had no real problems other than TSB's that were applied, at no cost, by my nearby Toyota dealer. Some of those were major.(anew fuel system, a new display and dashboard innards etc., other were minor. 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.

Replying to: stevegold (Nov 08, 2009 6:00 am) Hi Steve, thanks for your answer. Yes, we are bringing 2010 models. Conditions here in Brazil are different from those in the US, to begin with, our fuel has 25% of ethanol that means the combustion rates will certainly be adjusted or the car will have to run only on special pure gas, which is more difficult to obtain. What knid of fuel do you use?
#354 of 364 2010 Prius Floor Mat by pupuiko Nov 14, 2009 (7:02 am)
When I purchased by '10 Prius, the dealer forced to purchase $200 floor mat said it's required and they couldn't see the car without the mat, is it true?   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)?

Replying to: pupuiko (Nov 14, 2009 7:02 am) Probably not. Toyota has taken the All Weather mats off the market....

Replying to: carnaught (Nov 14, 2009 12:31 pm) They 'couldn't' because the GM or the owner wouldn't let them sell the car without the mats. Same difference, couldn't / wouldn't.
