Finally got our new Prius!!

We traded in our 2010 Mazda CX-7 (totally paid for) with 1000 miles on it last week. Be bought the Mazda 3 weeks before we knew were were moving to the DC area. After moving here, we found out having a Hybrid so you can use the HOV lanes on I-66 was a MUST. So, after emails and IM's to various dealerships, we picked up our 2011 II in Silver last week. Couldnt be happier about it.... such a nice driving car. I got 57 MPG on the 50 mile drive back from the dealership.... cant beat that

 

Tim- they have a TON around here. I was looking at 4 different dealerships and every one of them had the car I was looking for. We really wanted a III but could not justify paying $1000 more for it. We will apply that extra $1000 to an extended warranty. It is just a commuter car anyway. I have all the bells and whistles on my minivan

Spider- Thank you... I am surprised at how much I live driving it! It is a MUCH better ride than the mazda was.

 

Spider- our zoom zoom zoom was doom doom doom on gas! Little 4 cyl was getting 22 mpg at best!! I know the engine only had 1000 miles on it but lordy!

Thank you everyone else for the welcome I love all the smart a** comments we have been getting from haters about buying a "Prius". I just laugh..... and will laugh harder when they are filling up their gas hog every few days at $90 a pop!! hahahaha

Now, I DO have a minivan but I we have no way around it. We have a 4 yr old and 15 month old twins. I cant get both car seats and the booster in the back on most sedans. BUT, I am a SAHM and only fill it up about every other week.
