New to Prius and Happy !

I thought I will post this thread as I see too many "disappointment" threads. Wanted to hold off on posting until I break in the car a bit more..but here it goes..I have just driven about 250+ miles in my brand new car..since I got it 10 days ago. I used to be driving a Acura SUV but got tired of putting $60 gas/week. We had another Camry that needed replacement. So we bought the Prius 2010 IV. I totally love it and strangers have actually asked me about the car when I was parked for shopping. It is the Blizzard Pearl color.

So..after a couple of days of coming from SUV to a car, I had the usual adjustment..but now I am so used to it. I am getting about 45 mpg..which is good as I am doing a bunch of small rides..I don't find the road noise to be any excessive..I used to drive an Integra for 10 years and the MDX had some noise too..So guess I am not picky. I love the fact that my gas guage is still almost half full.

I am reading the manual..there is quite a bit of techy stuff..that I need to know..I am happy with my purchase and proud of my Prius. To anyone that watches 'Top Chef', the quick fire challenger got a brand new Prius too !

 

Thanks everyone ! I hope to get as much knowledge as possible from this board and read up on the manual over weekend.

 

Thanks all ! I have realized that my Trip was not reset after the dealer so I will only know my real mileage when I fill gas to the full again and reset the trip.
