    Just bought my 2013 Prius Trim Five (not the v) with atp door sills, as well as lower chrome on the door. So happy that I bought it. :love: Pictures will follow later.

    Any tips about this car I should know about? ;)

    Planning for gentle braking is almost as good as planning ahead so you do not hit the brakes at all. Just Drive It.

    After about 3 tanks, it is time to consider gas mileage, before that learn the car, blind spots, controls, and gauges.

    This car comes with an owner's manual. If it is too dull, John1701a has a shorter one.
