First Impressions

On Saturday we took possession of our new Prius Canadian Basic package. Have to say that both the wife and I are loving it so far!!

The dealership forgot to install my hood deflector and all season mats that I had ordered, but they will be calling me when they arrive. Other than that and the salesman trying to rip my hatch off, before I explained to him that my package didn't include 3 door SKS and a small argument until he finally saw the light, all was as expected.

The first day we put approx 250km on it, and are loving the way it drives. First fill up says we have 53.3 MPG. Not too shabby for a complete Prius n00b

Found a neat benefit of the rear fin across the rear window... It blocks the headlights of people getting a little too close to me!

So anyways... I'd just like to thank the Priuschat community. I've spent the last 2 weeks since ordering the car pouring over the forums, learning as much as I possibly could without actually driving the car. You guys have definitely eased the learning curve for both my wife and I. Hats off to you!

I had originally been planning my own audio system upgrade, but after looking around at all the panels I'd have to remove, I think I'll suck it up and take it in to some professionals

 

That was one of the best hockey games I've seen in a while! Total nail biter to the finish :cheer2:

 

They gave me the regular mats, but I had to put the driver's mat in. They said the driver putting it in themselves eases their liability or something like that. I did laugh when I saw there is absolutely no mat anywhere near the gas pedal now, even though the Prius wasn't a part of that fiasco...
