2007 Toyota Prius review from North America
"Inaccurate fuel gauge makes driving a challenge"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel gauge is extremely inaccurate.
It won't budge off of full until you've driven at least 150 miles, and when it gets down near the end, you can never tell how much fuel or range you have left. It is very easy to run out of gas in this car.
I would not recommend this car to anyone because of this problem.
