    I traded the Prime in yesterday. That was a great little car. Easy and comfortable to drive. I loved the fuel mileage. Sadly, my wife never felt the same way. We love to road trip but driving 80 mph on the freeway with an 18 wheeler beside you is not her idea of fun, and that is a mild understatement. I admit the reason I bought the car didn't pan out but I decided to keep anyway. Our 4,000 mile road trip in May is where she shared her true undesirable thoughts about the car.

    I learned a lot about the Prius in this forum so my thanks to all who contribute on a continual basis.

    Here's to hoping you got a great price. Don't be a stranger!

    We have a lot of Prius expats in the forum.

    +1 on the road trips.
    I replaced my beloved and gracefully aging 09 GMC Sierra with a nearly identical '23 model.
    I tried VERY VERY hard to buy a Toyota but Toyota of North America tried harder.

    Even though it's close to a base model, it's my CFO's favorite of our four current vehicles, and the only one she will take on a road trip.
