    Another new guy.

    Just bought a 2013 Prius CFour in preparation for a move back to CA. Big change from my 2013 MB E350 (my son still has difficulty with this after a week) but I'm enjoying it. Can't compare the two cars but I'm having fun driving this Prius. Only been a week but I love it.

    It is a big difference in size but after 2 years I realized it was really just me in the car most of the time so it made sense to go smaller. I will miss the MB a little but my C is so much fun that it makes up for it.

    we used to have an mb 300 series .... boy after a while, it nickle'd & dime'd us to death. Our Toyota & Lexus hybrids on the other hand have been the least expensive rides to burn gas. Glad to see another new guy ~
    Welcome!!

    Just spent 8 hours behind the wheel relocating to Northern California (5 more hours tomorrow). Aside from a slightly uncomfortable backside I'm really happy with my Prius. I drove like a bat out of hill and still averaged 45 mph. Pushed this little car way harder that I should have but it kept up with me. I'll take it easier tomorrow.
