is the highway you test on relatively flat? What speeds do you do for your highway testing? Thanks

[mpgomatic]

@itwasthepudding The highway loop has plenty of elevation changes, although it's not mountainous, by any means. Highway testing info is explained in detail on the written review ... there's a link in the description.

Good review! I've been awaiting this. It was said months ago that Toyota would rectify the glaring omission of a USB port for full iPod integration come September, which would really make the car perfect. :-) Thanks Dan!

Fantastic review. I enjoy them all, you get right to the point! BTW, that Prius is so COOL.....

If only it was pretty like the Lexus CT200h.

@Spankyliz We get 40 with our 07 and we are very satisfied with the car. Wife does not drive the way you should to save fuel and with a 6 mile drive to work the car barely gets warmed up and it is shut off. After work she drives to gym 4 miles it sits an hour then she drives 3 miles home. If it is cold outside she burns the AC to spite me I think but that is ok 75K miles same brakes 2.5 set of tires many many oil changes 1 O censor. I really thinking of getting her an electric car.

you forgot to mention that the exterior of the prius look way better than older model, stepping away from being associated from green tree hugger.

@mpgomatic Yea the differences weren't big at all and I can't wait for you to post that video! Also, do you guys get paid for this, is this a companyÉ Sorry my question mark key isnt working for some reason.

@gadgetguy4000 We should have some footage of the '10 Outlander, in a stack of tape somewhere. As I recall, the differences between the '09 and '10 weren't huge (slightly more HP and an updated audio system)? There's a 2011 Outlander Sport on the upcoming schedule.
