    Purchased a 2011 Prius 3 (Winter Gray Metallic) last month. Very timely for us, right before gas prices started to skyrocket and the earthquake. Found the forum after purchasing - alot of great information on it. Prius has been amazing thus far - my only regret is that I don't get to drive it enough - it is my wife's car. Have read the manual cover to cover - it is quite the technological marvel. No complaints thus far - even the dealership was pleasant to deal with.

    Welcome. Congratulations and great color choice:)

    I originally purchased the car with the idea that I would take my wife's car and she would take the Prius, like we usually do with new cars. After driving it through the weekend and then doing without it during the week, I quickly decided the Prius was going to be mine :)

    It took a little convincing that I would actually get the better mpg with my 52 mile commute over her short trips in town!

    Welcome to PriusChat and congrats on your new Prius. You're generous to give your wife such a great car. I'm too selfish to give my Prius to my wife. It's just too much fun to drive.

    I have the same color with Grey Leather. Mine is a 4. I love the heated seates and the Bluetooth. This car is great. 48MPG so far. Good luck
