In this video I will review a 10 year old Toyota hybrid, to evaluate whether the battery still performs and contributes to the same MPG as when it left the factory. This is an Auris Excel trim with the 1.8 petrol atkinson cycle engine.
I’m in two minds between this, vw Passat 2015 or Skoda suberb 2015. I’m thinking of doing PCO with some long journeys on the M way. Any recommendations please? Anyone?
I have the same battery issue with my 2017 auris hybrid. Leave it for a week and it needs a jump pack to start it. Use the car daily and it’s fine. I was looking to replace my 12v battery but if I’m not going to bother yet 😂
12VOLT Battery on most car's usually only last at peak efficiency for around 5 to 7 year's depending on use, so I always replace my car's battery every 5 year's and have never had a problem with a flat battery.😊
Thank you, that was very enlightening. I do have an Auris Hybrid but I fitted a 12v socket in the boot beside the battery with a 2a fuse. This enables my 1 amp battery charger to be plugged in whenever it is on my drive. What I have never used is the automatic parallel parking system, one day I may drive it next to my neighbours’ cars and try it and hope not to regret it.
