    Hello all!

    I just picked up my new 2009 Prius today! I got it in gray metallic with package #2. I absolutely love it!

    I had been planning on buying a Prius for a while and was pleasantly surprised at how spacious the interior is. It's so comfortable! I enjoyed a smooth ride home from the dealership despite the snow. However, I'm disappointed I couldn't cruise around town more.

    I also had been thinking of waiting for the 2010 model, but unforeseen circumstances (a car accident and subsequent death of my 1995 Buick LeSabre) caused me to purchase sooner than I had intended. But I think it was a good decision. I didn't have a wait for a car - the color I wanted was available - and was able to do a good deal of price negotiation.

    All in all I am VERY happy! Hopefully I will get some pictures up soon.

    ~ Jacquie

    Congratulations!
    I got a 2007 in magnetic gray a week ago, very nice to look at.
    This forum is a great resource. The Prius is very different from my previous cars, the last three were Accords. It's going to be a different animal from the LeSabre, enjoy your adventure. These forums will be a big help and a comfort. Like you, i was impressed and very surprised with the roominess inside the car. I was pleasantly shocked when on a test drive with my daughter driving, i rode in the back and found so much leg room and so much room throughout the car. I had been watching them on the road for a long time and whatever their advantages, i never considered that spaciousness inside would be one. Bon Voyage (I hope you get some good driving weather soon!)

    Hi quie618, congratulations!!. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the out of door price for a package 2 ? I am also planning to get mine this week and live in the NY area. I am still trying to find the best price.
    thanks,
    SM.

    Congrats on your new car!
    I also got a new Prius on Wednesday. Now I am looking for every opportunity to drive it around town.
    I got a 2009 Classic Silver Metallic package 4.

    This site is a great resource in preparation for all the cool options the car offers.

    Hope you enjoy it.

    Good Journey,

    Welcome to PriusChat, Quie618, from a fellow Long Islander. I've had my Prius for slightly more than a year and $15K+ miles. I've loved every minute of driving this car. May you have many happy hypermiles!!!
