    Just bought my 2010 Blizzard White Prius III today!! So far I have seen 48 - 90+mpg. Easily averaging 50. It had 13,000 miles at the time of purchase and has the bisque interior. I'll post pics when I can.

    sorry it's soooo dirty, but the roads are really bad up here.... tough to keep anything clean this time of year. :(

    Aloha and Welcome White-Wagon,

    I second danvee's post! I also have a Blizzard/Bisque although right now its not so Blizzard it is more like dirty glacier.

    My previous auto was also a wagon I wanted to get a Wagon Mafia sticker for it but I did not. I still may get one for the Prius even though the manufacturer says its a sedan. wagon mafia - watch your back They have a text one now maybe I shall get that one? Congratulations on the Prius purchase.

    Hey!! Thanks everyone for the congrats on my new "BB" Prius!! So far I've. Gone 65.7 miles without losing any gas on the gas gauge. Sweet. Hey, keep in touch with me about the stickers... I love the idea of a sticker that says "wagon mafia - watch your back". Love it.

    OFF WITH 'EM, I say!! :rockon:

    But, seriously, try it both ways and see which you prefer.
    There is no wrong answer...

    Your car looks about the same as mine, and I just washed it a week ago.

    Just ordered my Clazzio black leather interior from HAWAIIANBUILT today. Also bought heated seats to install. Hopefully, I'll have them in by later this week!! :)

    Any ideas on where to mount the toggle/trigger switch for the heated seats???

    The factory puts a single switch to the left of the power port under the bridge. Your conversion will probably have 2 switches. If you're lucky it'll use a round mounting hole which can be put anywhere, but I've seen it most often installed on the seat apron- toward the front.

    I can't wait to see how that color combo will look. If you don't mind, please post photos as you do the installs.

    Thanks!

    :( looks like the seats I ordered were already accounted for and are on backorder. The ship date is 4+ weeks out. :( I will cancel the shipment for now and figure something else out.

    Wow, looks like you're sweetening up your Prius. The heated seats sound snuggy for MN this time of year. Too bad, they're back-ordered.

    Congrats on your new Prius and welcome to PriusChat. Check out your owner's manual for cool features, tips and tricks.
