I live in the mountains of PA. I have a 300 foot fairly steep driveway and a 2008 prius.
I drive a lot. I have clocked 50k miles on the prius in 10 months. I have driven more in 5 years than most folks do in 20.
I preface my story with the fact that I do drive this much. I know how to drive. I have driven in blizzards, hurricanes and floods. I am a capable driver.
3 inches of snow on my driveway, and the prius decides the best way to maintain traction is to shut down the #$%$ motor?
I almost ended up in the woods. The #@$@#$ woods.
I hope the designer at Toyota that came up with this bright idea a long relationship with a rabid badger with a social disease.
