    Hello, everyone. I have just purchased a used 2015 Prius 3. It has just over 16K miles and runs beautifully. I am loving this forum too, so much useful information. I was considering a Chevy Volt also, but they are so much more expensive, even used, and the Prius is so well proven it was just no contest in the end.

    Steve,

    Welcome, and good choice on picking the Prius!
    I have learned a lot about my 2013, and 2016 Prius from this site.
    Being that yours is relatively new, and in good shape, you shouldn't have many
    mechanical issues. Many good how-to guidance and tips on modifications,
    increasing mpg, etc.

    Don't know much about the Volt. I'm just sold on Toyota dependability. Been driving mine 11 months. Love the car. Did you know you can lock your car by just touching the driver side door handle?
