Re: Ottawa Roll Call
I have a Barcellona Red TCH with the B-package. I love the car. Took delivery August 25, 2006. I couldn't get a dealer in Ottawa or surrounding area to even give me a deal so I dealt with an Internet company, CARS4U.COM and got what I consider a fair price. Since my wife drives it to work and the distance is less than 10km each way, the fuel usage is not as good as I would like. However on the road to North Bay or Toronto, it uses about 6.0L/100km at hightway speeds. I use Orleans Toyota and Bell Aire Lexus/Toyota for service since they seem to know how to service a TCH. I don't like the "Grease Monkeys" in the drive through pit working on it. The above mentioned dealers have a person (usually 2) that do all the work on hybrids and actually know that 0W-20 and 5W-20 should be used in these vehicles. The other dealers in Nepean and Kanata thing that 5W-30 is ok and one actually told me that Toyota does not recommend 0W-20 or 5W-20. That was a year ago so maybe they have been informed......
