    For most of us, our join date will be when we bought our first Prius.

    I started with the Prius family in 2005 and going through my 4th one, we are a family with 3 Prii.
    Recharging the PiP with the solar convenience.

    On my third Prius and have been driving them since 2005. I also own a Nissan Leaf and did own a Fusion Hybrid.

    I like Prii the best (although the Leaf's acceleration in non-eco mode is impressive).

    Bought my first Prius in July of 2009 (a Gen I) just had a bad wheel bearing on that one. I've owned 2 since then, no problems on either one.

    or moved to the city for a job, no need for a car.
