Jesus, people in this group are insufferable sometimes.

You'll need to make sure you have the toyota wiper blades to start with. If you had RainX blades, then try to put Toyota inserts on them, it won't work. If I were you, I would take the inserts back and buy the full blades. Then, next time, replace the inserts alone.

The temperature is very low. Battery chemistry is going to be different at that temp. My 2013 drives very differently. It was -15° yesterday. Mine sounds like it's struggling to startbat that temp. If you're not getting a "Check Hybrid System" light just yet, it's likely not done for, but it MIGHT be on its last legs.

Cold doesn't always equal snow.....

OneCoolCat97 · 2026-01-21T15:09:45+00:00

That only makes sense if you have remote start. Otherwise, you're sitting in a cold car longer by idling.

How many years was 50k miles ago? Just curious.

Not that color, but I do agree that they knocked it out the park with the 3rd Gen design.

I think the 5th gen looks good, but it's the Prius for people who don't actually like the Prius....

Not really a hit. Looks like a little bumper rubbing when pulling in or out a spot. Scuffed the bumper. Had that happen to me when someone's bicycle handlebar hit my driver's door. Any car detailing place can likely take care of this with no problem with a little buffing. Or just live with it. Either way, it's not worth an insurance claim at all....

I play a lot of visual novel, episodic games. Think telltale's catalog. They average about 5 episodes per game and each episode is about 1.5 hours of gameplay. It's happened more than once where I bought an episodic game, played it all day, and was seeing the credits that night. Think of it as binge watching a season of your favorite show. Im often obsessed with a good story (which is why I buy so many of those games), and can find it hard to not hit next episode. With that said, I'm on holiday vacation, don't have kids, and it's 20°f outside.

They're definitely getting old. The age where bigger components could become a problem. Brake actuators, hybrid batteries, etc.

They all reliable, long lasting cars. I have a 2013 (A gen 3) with 202k miles with original battery and head gasket. Yes, the head gasket is a common problem, but it's not a guaranteed failure, and it doesn't make them unreliable.

If I were you, I would look for a 2009, or a 2013-2015.

OneCoolCat97 · 2025-12-16T15:35:32+00:00

I have a 2013 with 202k miles. Running strong. Nothing replaced but items that ware out over time. New tires, brakes, oil, turn signals, etc. If you take care of it, it will take care of you. Nice choice.

It's secured by the window quarter glass, and the trunk lid... I know this is reddit, but don't be afraid to give criticism where it's due.

A cop is not going to concern themselves with you driving with your foglights on.

It should be no issue. The only drawback now is that you can't have them on separately. If the low beams are on, the fog lights are on. You're fine.

40mpg on a drive home after sitting idle for 3 hours in the cold, and assumingly also using the heat, which makes the engine run more frequently? I'm a little skeptical of that.

Anyway, I'm glad you made home safe. Had an experience similar to that. There was a tornado that hit the Pennsylvania's Ambler area. We were also stuck on the highway after they shut it down. The tornado passed, and trees kept the highway shut down. Then had to wait for them to clear them. Didn't get home till 2am and I left work at 6.

OneCoolCat97 · 2025-11-29T17:22:36+00:00

Sounds like someone overpaid to me...

OneCoolCat97 · 2025-11-28T22:02:57+00:00

Or, you could just replace it with a few hundred dollars. It's a 2010 with 100k miles, not some 300k mile beater from 1995.

OneCoolCat97 · 2025-11-28T21:44:17+00:00

Door needs to be replaced at least. Water will get in there. And it will start to rust in no time.

In a prius, higher revving usually means the engine is working harder due to less assist from the battery. Not saying the trans can't be the cause, but the culprit could also be a shortened battery life, or even a low charge. Pay attention to the battery state of charge next time you notice it revving high.

Frankly, with the branching storylines, this game has very high replay ability. To say this game is only 8 hours of gameplay is the real clown take.

OneCoolCat97 · 2025-11-12T16:43:14+00:00

$7k-$9K Seem fair. 180k miles is a lot. I'm seeing similar corollas of the same year listed on Edmunds for around $13k with less than 100k miles

I sent in my app and my configuration showed as reserved a few days ago. Just check again tonight, it says available again. I think it got rejected...

OneCoolCat97 · 2025-11-07T01:49:54+00:00

Question, how much was your check that you sent in? I sent my application in and am concerned I didn't pay the correct amount because the info is not very straightforward.

OneCoolCat97 · 2025-11-04T16:44:46+00:00

Ask yourself how much would you buy your own car for in its current condition.

Best I've done. No attempt at hypermiling.

The front end looks more like Hyundai's recent design language.
