    I just moved to LA, and everyone in LA need a car because of the terrible public transportation. For the first car, I wanted to buy a new car, so that I and the car could grow together.

    I only got $23,000. So I was in the dilemma about which car to choose, Honda fit, Prius c 3 or Prius 2. After trying these cars, Prius 2's space and high tech made me sure that it is the one! The quietness of engine makes driving so comfortable, I really love it! May be it is the new generation's reason, I got a great discount($2,000 discount & $2,000 rebate).

    At first I worried that Prius maybe slow because many people said Prius have acceleration problems. But I found it is fast enough for city drive.

    It's happy to find that so many Prius owner here! Can't wait to join here!!!!

    This is my second post here, first post is about my terrible parking skill Need help! How much to repair my paint? | PriusChat ....It break my heart!:cry::cry::cry:

    Congrats on the car! It should serve you well in LA, seeing how high gas prices are there.

    Congrats on the new car. You will soon learn that driving a Prius is a new and different experience from driving a "car". It's not the same experience for everyone, but it's certainly different. Enjoy, and as a twist on the old saying goes: Happy Hybriding!

    Congrats! I got my 2015 about a month ago and I too got the $2500 in incentives! on top of another discount. I already done quite a few mods to my Prius and it hasn't even been a month yet! tore apart the headlights and tossed in full Lexus units inside. Tore apart the interior and installed a 2014 Subaru mirror, and a hard wired dash cam. Also amp and speakers coming in the mail. Did full LEDs, etc. It's a fun car to mess with! Nice color =) Sometimes I wish I had gotten that color.
