WOOOHOOO we got a Prius!!

Awesome! Pkg 7...nice. Congrats on the "soon to be yours" Prius. I have the Prius and a Toyota pickup, both of which I love considering the pickup still gets around 20mpg. Gotta love that Toyota quality and engineering. This truck just won't die at 20 years old and well over 200k miles. I hope to have the Prius that long as well.

Again, congrats and welcome!

Good for you and your wife. I believe the two of you have made a wise investment that will keep you both smiling for years to come.

We bought ours in 2005 a week before hurricane Katrina made landfall and we have never, ever regretted it. In fact, ownership and operation just keeps getting better...

It's funny to see people's interest piqued in regard to our car. That seems to happen every time gas prices climb to a new psychological threshold point (i.e. every time it nears or passes the next whole dollar). Neighbors who we've lived next to us for years have seen us driving the Prius countless times and they see it parked in the driveway every day yet they never expressed one ounce of interest until gas passed the $3.75 mark recently. Then it was, "Isn't this one of those cars that runs on electricity?" That, of course opens the door for a nice opportunity to educate them on the amazing features and characteristics of this incredible car. Believe me, you'll get plenty of chances to educate your share of the population. Just hang out here for a couple of months and you'll have a vast knowledge of concept, operation, modification and troubleshooting your car.

All sorts of fun and interesting things will happen to you now that you have a Prius in the family. Oh, and beware - maximizing your mileage is addictive. Enjoy!

 

Congratulations. The higher gas prices go, the smarter you will feel.

 

From what dealership? My aunt wanted a Prius so bad asap. :juggle:

 

Congratulations! We found a 2006 Red package 2 in Indiana and just drove it home yesterday! Loving it & I'm sure you will too!

 

Well congrats on actually getting the car! They really are awesome aren't they?

Without any other information than "this Prius of ours has a EV button", it sounds like you may gotten a car that was originally purchased outside of the US. As I understand it, the American version of the Prius never has had that little dealy. You might want to have a look at your manual and see if you can tell what country the car was originally marketed it. I'm suspecting Canada, but I don't remember if the Candian version has an EV button or not. The VIN plate in the driver's side door frame might tell you also. Of course, there's the obvious VIN itself, however someone else will have to contribute the structure of a US VIN.

 

Nice.. Congrats and who doesn't like a free EV mod in their Prius.. I am Jealous ...

 

Or perhaps someone added the EV button. I'm not positive, but I don't think I've ever heard of EV switch here in Canada.

 

Congrats dwdean
Well done.
Love the early great mileage.

 

Congratulations on your new (to own) Prius kirkrv8 ! There's still 2 things you need to do though to be a Prius Chatter.....

1) Change your signature to Prius, not "Other non hybrid"
2) Post a couple of pics here in this thread so we can see you really got a genuine, honest to goodness, cute Prius
