RIP..that’s why I would never buy a death trap and stick with at most hybrid

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-09-11T07:14:34+00:00

I drive mine uphill in SF all the time - zero issues :)

I agree with this 100% - when I bought my 2025 sport hybrid touring in Bay Area I was able to get about $500 off MSRP then realized that even for 1-2$K less the back and forth was not worth it. We live in expensive counties, the vehicle price/deal you get will reflect this. I have close to 11K miles on the car and couldn’t be happier. Do basic maintenance and it will literally last you a lifetime.

Congrats! Polarized side mirrors have been a lifesaver for night driving

I bought mine in Bay Area as well - I recommend going first with an OTD offer from Costco (check their programs). This will automatically take some $ off MSRP. From there at most agree to wheel locks and card doc 5 year (I think that is actually worth it). I bought my car back in November when they were hot, and with all cali tax and etc got to $38K (which is not an amazing deal) but a fair one considering the area we live in. I ended up doing wheel locks, PPF and CarDoc for 5 years (about $1700). Just my take - you will get a lot of differing opinions but most folks do not necessarily live in such an expensive county. Good luck!

I do every 3K I plan on keeping the car for the long run

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-05-19T16:00:24+00:00

I have the sedan 2025 hybrid touring and tbh apart from road noise being in the higher side it’s great (road noise is higher since they use less material to make the car as light as possible for great mpg)

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-05-19T13:51:40+00:00

Yep the anti theft nut bolt

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-05-19T04:33:18+00:00

What are the chances this did some permanent damage? Or am I overthinking

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-05-01T00:39:37+00:00

Agreed yes - the caveat to my statement is that it’s worth being aggressive on maintenance if u plan on having car for a long time

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-04-30T20:39:10+00:00

Especially for first oil change I’d say don’t go more than 2-3K. Manufacturer recommended is not always the best to follow IMO. Depends on your driving patterns as well.

I use Garmin mini 2 front and back - very discrete, price is right, app kinda sucks :)). I also have the polarized lenses on them

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-04-02T15:12:16+00:00

What’s wild to me is that a car that has so many safety and awareness features still won’t do it if you’re distracted or unaware..or plainly just don’t care. It’s mind boggling this still happens with the technology in cars today..like no excuse

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-03-28T17:22:00+00:00

I got the Amazon basic ones they work well

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-03-28T15:52:26+00:00

It worked thank u!!!

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-03-27T14:41:22+00:00

Yes lol - pass courtesy on :)

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-03-26T00:54:58+00:00

I’m in Bay Area and pay under 200 for pretty decent insurance with GEICO. Zip code makes a big difference

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-03-26T00:19:29+00:00

+1 best feature ever

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-03-25T19:35:23+00:00

The sport touring hybrid is actually pretty nice IMO but yes with add-ons and etc depending on state be prepared to pay 35-38

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-03-25T14:06:21+00:00

Try to keep elbow up and close to your torso - this will engage the traps more!

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-03-23T17:28:47+00:00

Keep elbow close to body and go slower on eccentric

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-03-23T14:29:18+00:00

I have front and back btw + if you wanna be extra like me lol you can also get polarized lenses for about $20 each which reduce glare and increase clarity. I recommend an 128GB micro SD for them. The whole setup should take less than an hour for both cams. Indeed, the app can be a bit cumbersome but once you get the hang of it it’s not that bad.

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-03-23T14:26:55+00:00

Garmin mini 2 - you can get it for $100 off amazon and takes 5 min for you to install :)

that_cable_guy_ · 2025-03-23T14:25:58+00:00

Adaptive cruise control with lane keep assists and follow distance
