... With the new tires we're looking to take it skiing a few times this winter, so the next update or two should have some notes about hybrid slaloming in the mountains.
That's what I'm interested in knowing. We get a fair amount of snow at my wife's house and I'd like to know how a front-wheel drive hybrid does in mountain snow. A Toyota salesman told me that the main battery is effectively in a thermos, so as long as you drive it at least every other day, the battery stays warm in cold weather.
We drive to Phoenix seemingly every other month, and that's probably around 1200 miles round trip, so a hybrid has a definite appeal to us. And we'll be replacing my wife's car in the near future, so definite interest for us.
