JUST GOT MINE YESTERDAY ! ANY ADVICE ???

GUENWYVAR · 04-28-2006, 02:29 PM

HI EVERYBODY !
I just got my Prius yesterday & I love it ! I found out about this board on epinions.com. Mine's a loaded
2005 demo that only had 1200 miles on it. I'm still getting to know the car & it's features. I've heard that there are ways to drive that increase or maximize fuel economy. So I'd like some advice on that and any other Prius issues. What has been your experience with valet parking ? I have those little cards but I'd like to know what kind of experience you folks have had in that area ?

The best advice that I can give is to do a few forum searches and read as much of what is out here already. It really is a usefull resource.

As for the valet parking... everytime I'm in a situation where I think I might have to use a valet, I use my wife's Toyota Echo instead. I'm too aftraid of them leaving it on after they park it.

Welcome. Just keep readin, you will learn. Remember to anticipate and coast.

What little cards? When I know valet parking is involved, I make my friends drive. Those people in the parking garages don't know how to drive my 5-speed manual SUV. I am not about to let them drive my baby.

Congratulations and welcome! You will find much information about the Prius and all it's wonders by checking out some of the other forums here-probably the most informative are the Prius Main Forum and the Fuel Economy Forum. You can also use the search feature to search for specific topics that you're interested in finding out more about.

Have fun driving your Prius!
