    Mine is the Drift Wood color and option pack 4 but I had all other options added except in-car navigation. At some point I plan to upgrade the wheels but so far driving is not bad. The first weekend we did a 900 mile trip and it turned out with bad weather strong winds, big trucks on highways and even sun at times. Average temp was in the 90+ so we used AC all the time. We averaged 49.7 MPG but since in rush hour traffic and normal driving we are 45-49 MPG average.

    They are small ponies. Believe it or not but the Prius looks large next to them.
