Hello -
First post here. I've been lurking for a couple of days now. I must say, most of you guys and girls are quite passionate about the Prius! Sounds like fun.
Reading about how the combustion and electric engine interact, and more specifically how the combustion engine turns on and off at x intervals, has it affected the engine mounts since you've had your car? Can you feel the combustion engine when it turns on and off? Maybe the people with the first-gen Prius can answer better, as they've had the car for a couple of years already.
I'd mostly do city driving, stop-and-go, as I live in a metro area. Morning commutes are about 15 minutes tops, and in the afternoons anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes depending on departure time (I usually leave post 6pm to have a short commute).
Thanks for your reply!
