    I am a now a proud owner of a 2nd hand 2006 (NZ New) Prius.
    and I just LOVE it.
    Just drove it down to Wellington and averaged 4.9L/100km so am happy with that for my first attempt

    Wondering if there are any other kiwis that hang out on this site? I am interested in talking NZ specific stuff how you get accessories here (As it all seems to be US suppliers)

    Since I got this car 2nd hand I have no idea of the specs of it what it has and doesn't have yet (not sure how I will ever find out other than going into the local dealer and see if they can shed any light on the specifics of my car.For example, I want to put in an Ipod kit but have no clue what the stereo is capable of etc I see the PC Shop sells Ipod kits but I am not sure if the Stereos that are in our cars are anything like the US ones (Same connectors etc). So if you are from NZ give me a shout.

    One question straight off
    Does a New Zealand/Australian model year compare directly with a US? As in does a 2006 here have the same changes that the US 2006 car has?

    Thanks

    Bruce
