I'm the second owner of this 2010 Toyota Prius.  It's in good condition with about 78,000 miles.  I bought it from the original owner (a doctor).  I've driven this on quite a few long trips.  It drives great, gets amazing gas mileage, and is EXTREMELY reliable.  I've never had an issue.  My local Toyota dealership did a free test on the battery and found it to be in excellent condition with minimal degradation.  They told they only replaced 2 batteries on the 3rd generation Prius.  Both batteries had more than 200,000 miles.

FEATURES:

Features include:  Gray leather seats, bluetooth, power windows/locks, upgraded JBL stereo system, cruise, XM satellite radio.  It has the push button start with smart key.  You can keep your key in your pocket or purse.  Awesome feature.

CONDITION:

It has wear and tear typical of a car of its age and mileage.  It has some dings, dents, and scratches.  It looks great though and still shines like a new car.  No accidents!  There is a small, repaired hole in the driver's seat base (caused by a small key attached to a belt loop).  OEM leather was placed between the hole and cushion.

CONFESSIONS FROM A FORMER PRIUS HATER:

I used to get stuck behind Priuses no matter where I went.  I used to curse the name. However, my wife and I rented one during a vacation and we loved it. So, I bought a used one to be my wife's car.  I'm now sold on the Prius. These are the reasons:

  • It's easy to drive.  Turning radius is significantly better than any car I've driven.  Steering is smooth and seamless.  It has ample power.  In power mode, it drives like a normal car.
  • It's fun to play with the hybrid system. You can play with the power and watch the mileage go up.  If you are in heavy traffic, switch to EV mode.  While everyone is frustrated over the traffic and idling car, this car is operating off of its self-generated electrical power.  The regenerative brakes reduce wear and tear on your brake pads while charging the battery. 
  • It's well made.  I'm a Honda fan and unfortunately, this Toyota's fit and finish has Honda beat.  The interior screams quality.  Exterior sheet metal is light, but the car feels solid.
  • It's very roomy.  Back seats fold flat.  Cargo area is almost the same as a small SUV.  If you want to throw a lawn mower in there, you can.  If you're going on a weekend trip, it holds a ton of suitcases even with one of the rear seats up.
  • Cost of ownership is unbelievably low.  Suppose your driving a 15 MPG SUV and you drive 20 miles each way to work.  It costs you about $10/day for gasoline.  With the Prius, that commute now costs $2.50/day.  This car saves $45/week - $195/month - $2300/year.  I've ranged between 50-65 MPG in mixed driving.  It's actually quite hard to get lower than 50 MPG.  Depreciation is less than $1,000/year.

PAYMENT:

Payment is via certified check or cash only.  I have the title clear in my name.  The price is very good.  It is LESS than dealer auction prices!  You can probably find one with a lower price, but buyer beware - be very cautious of the prior rental Priuses and those with salvage or rebuilt titles.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.

Toyota confirms C-HR crossover to debut at Geneva

Tue, Oct 20 2015

With the compact crossover segment booming with new entries, Toyota soon intends to burst into the popular market with a production version of the C-HR concept. The rakishly styled, little CUV will show off its final face at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show next March, and European sales will start before summer, Autocar reports. Customers in the US will likely get to drive the angular model, too. The C-HR concept's chiseled shape is expected to make the transition to the road largely unaltered. According to Autocar, customers reportedly really dig the razor-sharp look versus a more conventional CUV design. A hybrid is also expected to be included in the production powertrain lineup, but non-electrified options could be available, too. The Japanese automaker last displayed the C-HR at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Underneath the avant-garde shape, the Toyota New Global Architecture provided the underpinnings, and a hybrid powertrain was there for propulsion. The concept's general design idea was actually the revival of a three-door crossover from the 2014 Paris Motor Show. In addition, the production C-HR is expected eventually to arrive in the US but likely wearing a Scion badge. Spy shots highly suggest that a crossover is already under development, and the entry would give the division a much-needed challenger to the Nissan Juke, Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, and plenty of others. Plus, the brand is keeping it absolutely no secret that a third, new model is on way to join the iA and iM.

Toyota takes i-Road tests to the streets of Tokyo

Fri, Mar 21 2014

OK, here's where we think those road tests will start to get a little scary. Those super-narrow all-electric three-wheeled Toyota i-Road vehicles may have looked great sashaying through the towns of the French Riviera. But now? They're being tested in Tokyo. Hoo boy. The Japanese automaker says it'll start testing the i-Roads in the country's largest city on March 24 and will do so through early June. And while there will be some industry experts among the 20 participants, there will also be some regular folks who we hope won't find out the hard way how well those 660-pound, one-yard-wide vehicles perform in crash tests. In the meantime, we'll cross our fingers. The cool thing is that the i-Road now comes in five colors: blue, green, white, yellow and what looks like a magenta-fuchsia-type hue. Earlier this month, Toyota said it started testing the vehicles in Toyota City, Japan, as part of a broader program called "Ha:mo" where people link shared vehicles with public transportation systems (it stands for "Harmonious Mobility Network"). The three-wheeler was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show early last year before getting the star treatment in a French Riviera-locale video. Check out Toyota's press release below and read our impressions of driving the i-Road here.
