    This month I drive my Prius for 3 years...(and only now I found this forum, shame on me)
    I didn't buy it new, it was a show/testcar from Toyota, had 26.000 km on the clock, now I passed the 90.000km.
    It is registered 12/2003, but it's the 2004 model.
    The MFD has been replaced it succed the battery empty and gave strange messages(warranty), the front tires have been replaced (Michelin) and once in a while I have to fill up the gas/fuel/benzine:)
    In winter (cold=heating) I use around 4,7 l/100km, during spring and autum (no AC no heating) I can get 4,2 out of it.
    My best 500km had an average of 3,9, don't remember how I managed that.
    Apart from the low fuel bill, there is one thing which makes it worth even more; noise! or the absence of it. Standing before a red light in an empty street, it's silent, really silent, and that's very, very nice after a hard days work.
    Greetings.

    Welcome! It is good that you found this forum. I am sure you can learn many things from it and with 3 years of Prius experience, you will be able to add many things.

    Belgian looking at bringing a US Prius into Belgium

    Hello,

    I'm from Belgium and I'm currently living and working in the US. I'm at the point of bying a Prius IV in the US, and bringing the car next year to Belgium. I 've seen a lot of mail traffic on the problems of importing a US car in EUR. Maybe you can help me, (or find a good contact/dealer) to answer the following questions :
    - What are the specific modifications that need to be done (certainly installing rear fog lights ...)
    - Is an EUR navigation DVD compatible with the US navigation system
    _ What about extending the US warranty (USand CAN only) to world wide

    Hope you can help me ...
