    Let us know. I hate to go through all the hassle of buying, rebates, tax credits, etc. though even if you can make a few hundred dollars.

    For me, 3 years/3600 miles is good timing for trade-in. Basically never have to spend a penny for maintenance or repair of a car. But this usually ends up costing more than keeping the car longer. That's why I actually like leasing a car for 3 years. Purchasing PRIME in NE region is certainly very unusual for it can be traded in much more frequently for far less money. The car buying process nowadays is not much hassle. Usually quicker than routine maintenance at a dealer.

    Nope. Based on the 2021 specs, we’re stuck with snazzy wheel covers. I actually drove around without those wheel covers for a while. I don’t go long distances on highways so I saw no difference in mileage or EV range. They still are a PITA because I’m OCD and when I wash the car I take them off and clean the wheels as well as the covers, inside and out. The inside gets as much or more brake dust than the wheels themselves, probably because they are made of plastic.

    Ditto. That's the reason why I ran without covers on my Gen 3 (and just put them on when I'm on a road trip, because why not). When I sold it, putting the covers back on made it look like a new set of wheels.

    I'm running the Prime with the covers though, mostly because the silver/black design seems to be in fashion right now. Also, it doesn't hurt that the design is similar to the one on the RX450h. ;)

    I can't say I "like the wheel cover", but I dislike the looks of OEM wheel without the cover.

    Meh, we have PHEV for those needs and the RX for everything else:).

    It is a very nice experience;).

    Go for it(y).

    But that means I need two parking spaces which, at this time, I do not have.

    But in time. :).

    I did drive one back when it was new - an F Sport Model, on a short test drive circuit they had when they were doing test drive tours. I remember it was spacious and handled and braked well - much better than the Gen 2 which had mushy brakes and super soft suspension (but oh so buttery leather seats)

    Turn the ac on for the seats and there not just soft, they are comfortable :).

    Just don't be in the market for one as you might end up with one(y).

    I know. I sat in the current gen ES when I was looking to replace my Gen 3. It was soooo nice. (and the ESh is only $2k more than the equivalent ES).

    The ESh is a great ride too;).

    Just had one as a loaner to get the front door recalls done on the RX :).

    Still like the RX more(y).

    Funny. I was also looking at the RAV4 Hybrid (Yeah I know... the dealer also gave me a weird look... I said... I wanted a hybrid, don't really care about the body shape since any works for my lifestyle right now).

    But the family said it "didn't fit me" so I took their advice lol. The Camry Hybrid didn't fit me either as the seat in its lowest position didn't leave me much headroom left (I wanted the XLE so there's a moonroof).

    Thus it was Prime vs. ESh lol.

    Until I can change the Sprites (graphics) of the Wheels in the MID to match my new rims i'm sticking with the OEM wheel covers.
