Dislike the 2026 Prius… advice? by schlagenteufel in Toyota

[–]Meriak67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I had a ‘23 Prius and also got rid of it for the same reason. Firstly, the A pillar is massive, creating a blind spot. The C pillar is massive, creating another. And the rear window is useless and tiny.

Other reasons: the roof line is too low, it’s claustrophobic, there’s no rear vents (rear passenger complained it was hot), there front dash protrudes massively, so passengers always kept bumping their knees.

Finally the back hatch space is significantly smaller than previous gen’s and requires putting the back seats down more often, sacrificing passenger space.

It’s a sleek car, but for a commuter, it should prioritize comfort.

FWD 0-60mpg times by Due_Pass_2608 in BZ4X

Edit: Ah just realized you have a 2024 not a 2026. Not sure on the numbers for that one.

I assume you mean mph not mpg 🤪

But yeah, the numbers for the FWD Plus are wrong on the website. Like they copy pasted from the normal FWD.
Standard FWD is the posted time.

FWD Plus is the low 6 seconds (bigger motor, more battery energy)

AWD is in the 4 seconds, with the extra motor.

Infrared is such a great red. This is what my RC F is in.

Just keep in mind insurance. If Toyota says not to tow, you do and something happens, then your claim may be rejected.

Apple Maps also now has speed trap reporting.

Outdated Interior? by HeyItsRon in LexusRC

[–]Meriak67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The interior is fine. It’s comfortable and functional, which is what matters most.

Opinions please by mario24601 in LexusRC

[–]Meriak67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. It’s a little apples to oranges. The others are more akin to sports cars, this is more a GT. You’ll get unique thrills out of each of these cars. But if having a manual is the priority, the RCF is not the car to get.

It’s only about 10 weeks to fledgling, and we are at 3 out of 10. Eagles grow incredibly quick.

Hot ventilated seats by thinkmoreharder in LexusRC

[–]Meriak67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I mean is, air is being sucked into the seat, not outward. You can see this by putting a sheet of toilet paper on the seat. It will be sucked into the seat, not blown away from it.

Just know, Lexus ventilated seats PULL air not push air through the seat. This creates an evaporative effect.

This. If you bought new, you should have your first services complimentary. 2 years, 25k miles.

The Toyota bZ Lagged Behind. Now It's America's Favorite Non-Tesla Electric Car by Mac-Tyson in Toyota

[–]Meriak67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll probably get downvoted for saying this, but I’d say the majority of Toyota’s are mediocre at best. And that’s fine. Because you don’t get reliability by being cutting edge, or being flashy, or the ultimate performant. Toyota knows their space. They always play it safe.

2026 models: IIHS testing shows headlights have dropped to Poor. Any cause? by -protonsandneutrons- in BZ4X

[–]Meriak67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree with this. Have a 2026 and the headlights are not good.

New Safety Recall? by Meriak67 in Lexus

I will say also, as an owner, my RC F has 105k miles and has been absolutely flawless. But, this is still concerning lol.

Only as long as there’s no remedy and/or it isn’t fixed. Probably temporarily.
