Toyota Prius 2008 FAQs

Prius slow to accelerate

The early Prius was a bit dozy from the lights but before you defect you should try the new model, which is more lively.

Toyota Prius park brake and spark noise

We haven't had any reports of the issues you complain about. I would be concerned about the noise from the rear of the car when slowing down, and would get that checked out. As for rolling on a slope after applying the park brake I'm thinking that's happening while the brake sets after you've applied it. That doesn't sound like it's anything to worry about.

Plugged in to hybrids

A HYBRID such as the Toyota Prius recharges the battery as you drive along, so there's no need to plug it in to mains power to recharge it.
