I have a 4.8, and think it's great. After the multiple updates to the software, all of the initial issues I had are no more. (Except for the strange transmission shift pattern--which apparently still...

GSM (T-Mobile / AT&T Wireless) phones in general will cause interference in systems that aren't shielded well from them, as will iDEN/TDMA (Sprint). CDMA phones (Verizon / Sprint) don't have the...

I suppose the rationale for this is that people who are going to buy are not going to mind an increase. The problem, of course, is that even luxury goods have seen a decline.

It's hard to imagine someone claiming worse air than Los Angeles--but I think you're right in this case.

The thing I wanted to point out is that I said 1-2mm for a very specific reason. It doesn't...

I don't have a problem with them going on in the garage. I have a problem with them coming on at 2:30 in the afternoon in bright sunlight--on the 405 freeway.

Aside from that, there is the core...

It is linking two unrelated systems into one decision point. That is not good. There is no correlation between having headlights turn on at dusk and having them follow the path of driving when dark....

This seems like a really dumb design. Why would this be the case, for heaven's sake? I cannot think of any use case that would support linking the adaptive headlights to the automatic switch on the...

One of my biggest beefs with dealers are when they say, "we cannot reproduce the problem." I remember one time I was so angry, I replied, "You're right. I made it up. I was bored, had nothing better...

I had this problem. Does it stop if you lower the window a little? (Like 2mm--just so it isn't fully up.) That stopped it for me. I keep the window like that, which is ridiculous to have to do. Like...

I have the same issue. At a ramp at work, when I begin the ascent, the transmission shifts into a lower gear and holds it--even after I've leveld off at the next level. The engine just revs to some...

I have both. I didn't order mine, as it was on the lot. Had I ordered, I probably wouldn't have had the 20s. Now that I've owned mine for a little over a year, I am glad I have both.

Comfort Access. I have it in my Prius, and love it. HD Radio as well, though I also like Sirius...so I'd keep that one.

Color combo is great for me. (Black/Black) I was worried about the black,...
