    Welcome and congratulations on your new purchase. Take the time to read the Owner's Manual to understand all of the features on this car. Then just drive it for a while to get used to it. The car does a really good job of taking care of everything and giving you high mpg.

    Then come back here for any questions. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on here more than willing to help with answers.

    Welcome to the forum! There is a lot of great information here. Take some time getting used to your new Prius and read through the manual and read through the threads here, especially the old ones.

    I am slowly reading my way through the manual now. There is a lot to read. Just filled up the tank today, she is getting about 53 mpg. I am super excited about that, my Xterra gets 17 mpg, nice change. I ordered the weathertech rubber floor mats, will need those before winter. Does anyone else have those? I am getting my windows tinted today.

    I have the Weathertech custom mats in my Subaru and they work great in the winter to keep slush off the carpet. They also keep the carpeted mats looking good for summer.

    Good to know. I was hoping they were worth the money. I have a 6 year old son, I were hoping they would help protect against him also. :eek:
