New car
Toyota has set a new standard of excellence for hybrid vehicles with introduction of the 2010 Prius.
The new Prius improves fuel efficiency and now offers an EPA-estimated 50 miles per gallon in city/highway driving. It also offers a quieter ride, more passenger room and a wide range of impressive features.
Seasonal Service
You're driving down a steep mountain pass in the middle of summer and apply slight pressure against the brake pedal. As your Toyota approaches a curve, you push down harder but your brakes don't respond properly.
"Heat build-up makes the braking system less effective," said Tony Molla, vice president of communications at the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. "It could get to the point where the brakes don't work at all, especially if your brake pads are worn down."
Accessories
Bluetooth devices allow drivers to talk on cellular phones without taking their hands off the wheel. In the past year, the number and quality of Bluetooth devices has exploded as states have imposed regulation on driving with cellular phones.
The ubiquitous little devices are showing up for other applications that make driving more enjoyable and safer. For instance, back-up cameras may be installed quickly and inexpensively without the need to run wires.
Car care
You've taken your family on a Sunday drive to the mountains and parked the car under a grove of pine trees. When you return your shiny Toyota is covered with sap.
What now?
"Sap can remove the clearcoat finish on your Toyota," said Mike Schultz, senior vice president of research and product development at Turtle Wax. "It leaves a permanent light-colored stain."
