Mistakenly would be a much better word - the Prius made her sciatica flare up extremely painfully within a week, so it was a mistake to buy it / the effect was like an accident blah... Anyway, we collected it yesterday and she loves it having done an 80 mile round trip yesterday evening. I am a bit bothered about a bit of a whine from the rear (that she cannot hear) and the tyres are all crap makes I have never heard of (will put some decent ones on before winter or maybe sooner) but it feels very solid (no creaks or rattles). I just drove home from the garage (6 miles) so my experience is a bit limited so far Have added a photo to the gallery (not sure why - it's not like you haven't all seen a black FL2 before!) Oh, forgot to say the children prefer the D4 cdue to its extra space! |

I don't think it's the tyres - it sounds mechanical, quite similar to the sort of sound I remember from a couple of cars where a wheel bearing needed replacing |

We had the whine which turned out to be xfer box plus rear diff then it came back after 500 miles and this time it was a rear wheel bearing and after a couple of thousand miles came back again but this time noisy tyres. To me they all sounded the same. However if you have just bought the car you need to get this fixed by the dealer as it will only get worse. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
