RichardS, My Prius Prime has only once started the engine while there was battery remaining. That happened when the weather was below 10F. I spend half the year near Tampa. In the warm weather the engine never starts until the battery is exhausted. I usually get 35 miles on electric in Fl. The...

I've had a 2017 Prius Prime for 2 years. I wasn't thrilled with the interior or exterior styling either. I bought the car to minimize my fuel costs, not make a fashion statement. I get 25-35 electric miles, depending on the weather. When running on gas, I get between 50-60 mpg. More than half of...

Looks like I'm the only one here who actually owns a 2014+ Impala. I've had a 2016 for 2 years and have 19,000 miles on it. I have the 2.5 with the start/stop tech. It is not the end of the world as some people here imagine. It's barely noticeable. I appreciate the engine stopping and going...

I bought a '17 Prius Prime in June and now have over 5000 miles on it. It has been getting 30 miles on battery (all electric). When the battery is depleted, it it switches to hybrid mode and still gets in the mid 50s mpg. This is very similar to the first generation Chevy Volt but with much...

I bought a 2016 Impala 2.5 in June when GM was offering a 20% discount. I've done a couple of 1000 mile trips from Philadelphia to Tampa and was averaging 32 MPG. With the 18 gallon tank, I was seeing a range of 580 miles. It was quiet and comfortable with adequate power. Although the car was...

I was one of those unfortunate individuals who owned a 2012 Cruze. I had it about 18 months and 16,000 miles. Coolant smell and leaks, brake problems, steering issues, numerous suspension clunking noises, recall after recall etc. I don't really want to know the service advisor on a first name...

My daughter works a couple of blocks from that address at the Naval Support Facility. I used to live in the neighborhood. It was pretty nice 30 years ago, not so much now. You have to be careful in that area. I would not recommend walking at night. Parking on the street should be ok.

I have had a 2013 Prius v for two years. It is fuel efficient and trouble free. The best I can say about the styling is that it was inoffensive, at least for me. I can't say that about the 2015. What were they thinking? One of the ugliest recent cars I can think of is the Nissan Juke. This...

Go to tvfool.com and see what is available over the air with an antenna. I'm in SE PA and get 56 channel with a $45 antennan in the attic. Get crystal clear reception. Actually better than what I was getting over cable. I'm about 22 miles from the Philadelphia transmitters. I cut the cord 8...
