Toyota Prius Refinement Issues
I am from the UK I am currently researching within the area of hybrid electric vehicles and have been trying to improve the way in which refinement of these vehicles is assessed during the early design stages. I have driven a Toyota Prius on a number of occasions. I have also had some subjective assessors stating that the feedback through the steering wheel is quite heavy, and the brake sounds are very squeaking when applying the brake pedal very hard, for example.
Just a question to anyone who has any feelings on any of the refinement issues with regards to the Toyota Prius you own, or have driven? What would you specify as both the positive and negative points Toyota have managed to achieve with the Toyota Prius? Who knows with your help, we may be able to improve something that is already a fine piece of manufacturing.
Thanks,
John ;-)
