Not being able to tow and toyota even recommending you not putting a bike rack hitch on, I know people say you can but why can't toyota say you can
I as well was a proud 150mph Subaru WRX driver and missmy manual trans and going 100mph around corners and downshifing past mustangs and whatnot. But I must say I love not having to worry about cops and is great only filling the car up every 500 miles as well as being able to use 87 octane. WRX was lucky if it got 300 miles from 16 gallons.
I must say the only real thing I hate is the lack of a bike option provided by toyota
Oh yeah one more thing the door speakers in the 9 speaker system rattle rather bad on really bassy music.
All my grips for now all in all very happy tansition from a turbocharged car to a hybrid.
What?? Get a Coastaletech.com hitch (1.25" or 2") or a Curt hitch. They bolt right on. Then any receiver hitch bike rack and your set. Here's my set up with an Aspen multi-rack, carries snowboards/skis/bikes:
My issue is no plug...I want to plug in for extended EV mode around town. Wow, can u imagine how cool that'd be...
'04 Seaside Pearl #7. Fumoto oil drain, mudflaps, rear bumper scuff protector & rear warn system, compass mirror, EV mode button, 8" subwoofer in right rear cubby & 6" subs under seats, power lumbar in the front seats, Coastaletech hitch w/ Aspen bike/snowboard rack. iPod2car, 2 amps, Alpine component speakers, and DVD video, solid 47 MPG @ 70000 miles.
The same rule applies regarding replacing the #### with the proper vehicle number in the database, which can be found in your browser's address bar when viewing your vehicle's data.

My car's not in the database. I thought I remember posting a pic in a reply a long time ago...no database needed. Maybe that's changed? I've clicked the manage attachments and browsed for the pic I want to post and hit upload. It seems to do something, then when I actually post the reply with attachment, no go.

Ah, sorry can't help you there. You're wanting to upload a photo into the message.
I thought you were trying to include the GreenHybrid Mileage Database pics (the white horizontal images you see in my signature below).
Re: What is the one thing about your hybrid that bugs you the most?
My biggest pet peeve is the lack of true electric only mode in my Civic (apart from the almost non-existant low speed cruising). I wish it would take off from a stop light under battery power only to save some more gas. It's just a minor thing, though. I love my HCH II!

The way to get a pic in a post is to first upload the pic to the "Share" section. Once the pic has been uploaded into the Share section you put a link in the post where you want the pic to be displayed. The link is the url of the pic surrounded by IMG and /IMG tags in square brackets like this (without the spaces):
[I M G]h t t p://w w w.url of the image show by " Direct Link Code:".j p g[ / I M G]
A button above your text box will automatically surround selected text with IMG tags.

Re: What is the one thing about your hybrid that bugs you the most?
I dont have any complaints on HCH-II but I have one thing that bothers me sometimes,When i hit the brakes the regenerative brakes kicks on but before comming to stop it relases the regenerative and comes back to hydraulic..in those split seconds it car gives u a feeling that it is not going to stop where we wanted to but hey..it stops exactly where it should,it might be just my feeling,except that no regrets.
