Finally the wait is over, I get my 2006 Prius this week. I am getting the driftwood pearl, package #7. I have opted, from advice fromthis forum, to not get the Toyota protection package. Can't see the benefit quite frankly. Will keep everyone posted as to how things go with the new Prius!!!

I am very excited.

Congratulations on the news!

Are you refering to the extended warranty? If so I think I will get it, if my dealer offers a good price I will go with it otherwise I will order it from here at PC since it is at an exceptional discount. (Thanks Danny and Troy for arranging that offer)

I have a Driftwood pearl with package 7 coming at the end of this month. I am interested in your opinion on the color and the total car. I can hardly wait for mine care to make it to Ithaca, New York. I probably will buy the Bridgestone Blizzard winter tires and have them ready to be put on when the car arrives. We have not seen the sun here for some weeks.
Thanks for the response.[color=blue][size=7][font=Optima]javascript:emoticon('

Welcome to PriusChat, katwoman and NealSpencer! Happy for both of you.

Let us know when your cars come in, and if you have questions after reading the owners manual.

P.S. Love Ithaca---I'm from Utica. Go, Big Red!

Pickedup my Silver # 7 yesterday(the 7th). Drove around town and some interstate roads. There were 3 bars on the gas guage when I started and about 6 miles on it. The gauge droped to 2 bars at the 89 mile mark. The average is about 43.7m/hr. temps were 37 degrees when I started. I drove about 45 miles the first time. Just got back and the milage is 112. The temp tonight is 30 degrees. Some the the driving was 55-65-70 on interstate, so probably doing ok for first day.

Forgot to mention that on Monday, the dealership will fillup the tank. Won't drive today, talk of freezing rain/snow mix. Have it in the garage. The folding side mirrors help alot.
