If it was made like that it still would be 25 grand. Car makers just don't want to make small vehicles as they don't make as much $$$$$ . Plus demand just isn't there.
Honda dropped the Fit. Toyota dropped the Yaris, Nissan dropped the Versa Note. . All still made just not sold in the US...
I stopped riding motorcycles as I wanted to LIVE longer. This is just to close to that . So NO. Plus if it really is almost 20 K. I paid 28.2K for my 23 xlt hybrid. That is with all taxes .
Not sure if I am misunderstanding you.
It is without a doubt Eco mode is better around town. I rarely touch the brake pedal as regen does most of the stopping and when I do touch brake its real light so not to use friction brakes. I can accelerate lightly to keep gas engine from even...
Interesting views on slippery mode. I don't do enough highway to see if slippery is better for highway I just ALWAYS use Eco. But around town Eco mode produces much more slow down (regen) without touching the brake pedal generating more electricity charging battery . For around town I can't...
Just a note I myself have found slippery mode on my 23 hybrid sucks in the snow. It just cuts the throttle to much. I found normal mode best in snow. I have snow tires too.
Once just to try it. but not normally. So no. NEVER has RPM gone super high say past maybe 1500 rpm. BUT 1500 rpm is higher than normal . Maybe OP doesn't know the difference. If wrong I apologize to OP. I can even plug into OBD port and use ap I have to see exact RPM if people want to see...
IF the OP is correct on it is applying 100 percent throttle or going say 3000 rpm or even higher that is NOT NORMAL. Period. No way no how that high on my 2023 XLT Hybrid. Maybe 1500 rpm at most.
I have a 23 xlt hybrid same as OP. In Buffalo NY so its cold. Never has this happened to me. Full throttle in idle,, really ? I would imagine the engine would rev so high to over its rpm limit..... Does mine go up?, sure maybe 1500 rpm. my guess.
Things I noticed its in park or neutral...
I agree sounds like they put a low battery even though new into it. My battery was replaced under warranty last August and the service bulletin on AC was done too. My voltage at cig lighter was over 13 volts when truck was off. Over time it has lowered down to low 12's. I then charged battery...
The cheaper ones don't fold up against the rear window cutting down usable bed space for anything taller than the bed itself. I would avoid those cheap ones. Like the one mentioned above does not fold up all the way cutting usable bed space by a lot. But they cost less. At least when I searched...
Hope you got the 4 cylinder 2.0 The 3 banger is a bad engine. Seen plenty Head gasket cracked head engine , Junk, Seen plenty on youtube. shop owner says if you have one sell it asap.
Plus the only reason Tesla didn't fail was because of Elon. Tesla didn't make any money in its first decade.
I still don't get why the masses would go EV . It wont save you any money at this time but could change and it has limitations a gas car doesn't. So WHY for the masses. Yes some just...
That was my POINT. NOT misinformation. Correct NO ONE does charge past 80 percent on a trip on a fast charger. YET when they talk range they ALWAYS talk from a 100 yet on a trip they only get 80 percent. Showing how the range is really even LOWER .
Then EVEN at home you shouldn't charge to...
I would disagree on several things you claim.
EV are more expensive to buy out right. Easy to see. Chevy blazer 36K gas and 44.6K EV blazer start price . ZERO maintenance is flat out lie. They do have a cooling system. They do break down . There is a Tesla repair shop near me. They are quite...
