This doesn't make sense. Keyless start has been available for a few years. My son's 2007 Prius has keyless start. I can't believe the tester had never seen it.
And even on the 2007 Prius it...

The owners manual suggests keeping the tank about 1/3 full (as I remember) if you don't use much gas. It makes the car lighter and gives better range.

When I took my Volt in to have the windows tinted, they gave me a Cruze for a loaner. I didn't like it. It felt like an econo-box, under powered, noisy, less stable on turns, and the interior felt...

I'd like some of the fancy safety features (collision warning, lane departure warning), but until they add true collision avoidance (auto braking), adaptive cruise control and blind-spot detection,...

I also don't understand what the point is. For example, if recently I have been driving aggressively, when I get in the car the estimated electric range might be 35 miles. But if I then drive very...

You know you can do this with voice commands, right? ("Navigation Voice Off") Not as easy as a single button, but not very hard.

Good point, and when I am near enough I prefer the fob too. But if I have just finished shopping at the mall, or watching a movie at a theater, and it is 110 degrees outside and my car is not within...

On the other hand, the solar panels tend to shade the roof a little, so the attic temperatures are not quite so high. That reduces your air conditioning costs a little.

As long as the Blink Plus account is free and I can charge for $1/hour, I will use it occasionally. $1.50 is too high, $1 is just about the break-even point.

I live in Phoenix Arizona (Ok, Tempe), and I can tell you that the air conditioner is everything I would want it to be. There are two modes: Comfort and Eco. I almost never use Comfort, even when...

When my mother was in the hospital I was visiting every day. I sent an email to the hospital management asking if I could plug in to an outlet in the parking garage while there, and they told me "Of...

Every three or four months I add 3-4 gallons, just to keep the tank about half full to be ready for an emergency.

That said, I'm glad I am not high on the leader board at VoltStats. If I were, I...

I bet it was just kids being vandals, "Oh look, there's an electric car plugged in! Let's unplug it!". I doubt that it was a political message.

I can imagine doing similar things when I was a...

I like the in dash nav because it's always there, and always on.

I too am peeved that my passenger can't enter a destination while we are driving, but at least we can bring up previous...

Off Topic: Wow, I wasn't aware of the differences in the display from my 2012 model and the 2013s. I love the kW reading you show here. And apparently there is a display of distance when parking. ...

I had the same thing happen to me. Tried everything else, but the final solution was to wait for the technician. I think he came the next day in my case.

He replaced a couple of boards. He said...

Here's my solution:

The comments are almost universally negative against the article, positive on the Volt.

DCFusor, you're the real winner. I was suggesting that the winner is the one who uses the most power. All tongue in cheek, of course.

You've sure got things figured out there. It's a neat...

In my MY 12 with Nav it seems a lot slower and more tedious to place a bluetooth phone call than it needs to be. It goes like this:

(Press the button)
- (V) Ready
- (Me) Call John
- (V)...
