Sell it and buy another one with bigger engine.

True enough, but I've offered help to a couple of drivers of 'normal' (as in non-hybrid) cars, and it's good to know I won't look like a fool with a puny attempt. Those I've helped have been astonished to see their cars started with the help of something the size of a VHS tape (although some younger people I meet these days don't actually know what a VHS tape is! - or was!).

Mine (VicTsing) says don't use if below 75%. However, I suspect that this is intended to save its battery when starting an ICE, which need a lot of battery power to operate the starter motor. The prius only needs very little power to drive the car electronics. So it should be OK down to a very low percentage. FWIW I've only used it in anger once, and it worked like a dream.

As a 2 ltr owner who is not a boy racer, but is happy to pull away onto roundabouts safely, but not waiting half an hour until there is nothing in sight, and likes to be away smartly from the lights, you won't get the same economy from the 2 ltr as you get from the 1.8ltr. Probably about 12 mpg less on average would be fair, reading what other 1.8 ltr owners achieve which I find impressive. If you get the 2 ltr and worry about not achieving what 1.8 ltrs owners are getting MPG wise, you bought the wrong engine. Try and match 1,8 owners figures, you won't enjoy the drive, stressing about it. My advice is decide what is most important. Getting 48 to 56 mpg typically or 58 to 68 typically. Don't get me wrong, the 2 ltr is cutting edge technology, Toyota have maximised the balance of power and economy with this new engine. But compare with other 2ltr cars, that is where you see the comparison. I get at least 20mpg more with the 2 ltr Hybrid, compared to my last 2ltr non hybrid. That's impressive. Re HUD, the GR has it. I don't know if Toyota extended HUD to other models yet. I have the Excel 2019, no HUD.

Good evening I called my salesman today and said. Its at pre delivery and will deliver next week Thursday. i have to do finance paperwork this Friday. and ready to collect on Thursday evening. exicted time 🥳 Jay

The 2.0 has a bigger capacity battery, but its not Lithium Ion like the 1.8. so you're not comparing like for like. For this and a whole load of other data, you can't beat the Toyota Media website: https://media.toyota.co.uk/wp-content/files_mf/1599057321200312MCorollatechspecWLTP.pdf Neither car offers more than gentle deceleration when you lift your foot off. If you want the acceleration of the 2.0 you'll probably want the deceleration that only the second pedal will give!

I too have the same issue Martin... I have a 2017 Prius with a factory tow hitch for my Thule rack, but am thinking of a 2020 Plug in, but no factory option.....and can’t find any aftermarket info. so looks like a Corolla 2.0 with factory tow hitch.....unless some info turns up that a hitch can be fitted, despite Toy saying no towing. probably USA Prius chat has more info, but not for the UK

The self parking only controls the steering. It is up to the driver to control the speed, with the brakes on the hybrid. It also lets you know when to change from reverse to forward. It is easily missed though as it is in the display next to the speedo. Just listen to the bleeps from the rear sensors to decide when to stop and change direction. Try it again and I am sure you will get used to it. I let my car go into a space that I thought was on the small side but despite a lot of reverse/forward/reverse/forward changes the car succeeded.

Agreed. Mine is 13,600 mAh, which is massive overkill and waste of money. The only consolation is that it will keep my laptop working for days if necessary 🤔🤔

😃, when changing tyres and if the previous tyres are not a complete rubbish than you may not notice any difference, once you get use to the new rubber and their qualities especially wet performance and you drive another car or try another set of tyres you will notice the biggest difference between the tyres and will value the Goodyear’s more. 👍 0.3 mpg gained still something

Personally I have used Michelin Pilot Sport 4's on all the cars i have had in the past Honda's , VW ,Saab and now Toyota it is a softish tyre so handles well in the wet and when breaking. Its not a cheap tyre but you can shop around and they are so much quieter than the awful Falken tyres originally fitted to the Corolla Hybrid GR Sports .

Awesome information and guidance. Did this repair to my Auris about a year ago and it is holding up well even when we have rain here by us. Sent from my SM-A307FN using Tapatalk
