    Oops, already had a post and a reply but hello anyway.
    I've got what seem to be the standard issues with buying an imported Prius here - the screens are all in Japanese and so are the manuals. However. I've enjoyed my first week in my 2005 model Prius.:rockon:

    Hello and welcome!

    If you need anything, a few of us have the manual in PDF format.

    I've downloaded a US manual, thanks. Do you have other versions ie EU? Does anyone else from New Zealand read this forum and can help?

    Oh ok. Canada and US share the same manual.

    You'll have to ask someone from the EU or NZ to scan theirs if you want their manuals.

    And here's a pic Ken1784 provided of the Gen II MFD screen of "teddygirl's" record run of 49.1 km/l (115 miles per US gallon) over 2,343 km (1,456 miles):

    Hello BTeam, I'm from the US, currently on sabbatical and working in Hamilton, NZ with my family.
    I recently got together with samiam who lives just South of Hamilton and is a frequent poster on Priuschat.

    I'll actually be in Auckland this weekend. We've seen quite a few Prii in NZ, with a relatively high ration of Gen I, more Gen II, but only a handful of Gen IIIs.
