    You'll get better financing on a new car. More importantly you've been milking a 14 year old car, you deserve a brand new car.

    Also, the dealer doesn't want your 2003. Just slap a fair price on it and sell it yourself.

    My 2017 is not.
    A recall in earlier cars because somebody exits the car without turning it off makes the car a lemon? More likely manufacturing startup pains with the totally new chassis design.

    Do you deliver? If not what are the shipping charges to Virginia?
    By saying I can "just have it" you have made me an offer that is hard to refuse!

    I drove the 2011 Leaf when it was new. It was such a cheap, plastic filled car.

    I'm bigger than the door. It won't hurt a bit! :) I just went and looked at a beautiful brand-new Chevy Silverado pick up truck! A vehicle for a real man!

    I'm getting real tired of Disneyland. :ROFLMAO: :rolleyes:

    I just pick up my first Prius EVER 3 days ago! It's a 2017 Prius Four with ATPackage & PCPackage and I love it! Always wanted a Prius since announce of Gen 3. Timings of needing a car forced me into previously riding 09 Corolla S. Recently with an opportunity to get a new car, I could finally get my (economic) dream car! Needing some creature comforts for my Prius such as heated seats, but those are only available in the 4 or 4T. The DRCC is awesome and it'll slow down to a stop if traffic does! Not willing to test if it will do it to an abrupt stop on the highway though. My only complaint about it is, the range is still pretty far even on the closest distance setting. With the parking assist feature, I haven't had the opportunity to use too much yet. But the multiple tests And demo I forced them to do at the dealer showed great potential. You just brake for the car and when it tells u to, change R and D for it while it steers for you. I look forward to using it when I'm out in downtown areas. When I started looking was really opposite ends of spectrum to what I needed and what I wanted. Was fine with Eco, then thought about it. This was pretty much gonna be the last car I buy personally before a family car and that may be some time. So I thought about it and needed certain things such as seat warmers. For sure hands down needed and that's the 4. Everything else was splurge cause I got a very very good deal. But if u don't need anything but a Prius, you will enjoy any trim of the gen 4. I could seriously do without the ATP and PCP. Whatever your decision, you will not be disappointed in the gen 4.

    I had 200 K on my 2003 gen 2, so I know all the Prius quirks with the way it operates. That said it was as good as any car I ever had (40 years) for transportation. So I could 't ignore that and got a 2016 gen 4. Yes it's a Prius, with the most improvements from the gen1. 16K on the gen 4 and it runs great with a 20% improvement in MPG, amazing. Better handling better electronics. Amazing how it can run at 80 and hardly feel like it's straining to do it.

    So if you like your Prius, it's not a big boat car, you will love the improvements in the new one.
