Friend at Toyota IMPRESSED

It is a good story and wonder why people do not appreciate the Prius for the car it is.

I cannot say I drive a whole lot slower than normal traffic, but I do work nights and I have found a route to work (1.5miles longer) but nets me over 59 almost everytime. Which I think is wonderful considering it is only an 8.5 mile commute. About two minutes in town then wrap up on rolling hills, then the last 2 miles is in the city with a few stoplights. SHM rocks on the hills, and I can pulse and glide the last 2 miles. I do drive the speed limit and try to limit my freeway use. I just find driving extremely fun now!

Back to the original post though, I hope my friend at Rochester Toyota shares the information with some of his sales associates. He did mention if they ever get a prius on the lot for more than a day, he could more than likely sell them easier if they didn't sell themsevles already.

Sams-I havent driven the car in the winter, but from the sounds of it, the car doesnt do as well since it takes longer for the car to warm up. Anyway, enjoy your prius!

Happy Prius Owner
