    good evening everyone.

    I just wanted to introduce myself as I purchased a new 2020 prius prime xle in classic silver I am picking it up tomorrow morning.

    What an improvement over the 2015 gen 3 Prius that I had alot of issues with.

    I love the 11.6 inch screen

    thanks bisco. We had enough of the 2015. I had it in the dealership and they found our issues leading to before it was sold to us. We bought it used and well since so many cars from my family have been bought at the dealer they really made it right.

    they took back the car, payed off the loan .. and gave us some money off the new one for our troubles. Now I know they made money and I am ok with that . Just happy I did not get hurt

    By the way .. anyone that has a 3rd gen, and buy it used make sure the person before you never brought it in for rodents. apparenlty they like to eat wiring harnesses.

    We pick up the new baby tomorrow and she rides nice

    Congrats !

    Don't forget that you can charge up in 2 1/2 hours for less than $50 dollars if you have a near by 240 volt receptacle.

    Congrats and welcome. Rodents in the wires are a potential problem in modern cars. I'm glad the dealer was so good to you. I hope you like your Prime as much as I like mine. It's not without its faults, but the virtues are many. (y)(y)(y)

    I really think it is a super car. It’s got everything we want and then some. I passed up getting a prime before in 2018 because it was only a 4 seater. That 5th seat is important to us since we have three kids and in a pinch I want to be able to haul the family if needed. My wife’s sienna is our family hauler

    And the rodent issue was confirmed to be there before we bought the car. So I was happy they took it back. I honestly don’t blame them because they made it right

    Same color as my 2020 Limited edition. I had a silver 2010 Prius that I traded in.

    Yeah the color was a departure for me. I usually like the reds and blacks as blues. That silver really pops though in the light. You can see my sons 2006 ( which was his aunts) in the background . I really loves these cars as they hold up for the long haul
