    If you guys remember, few months ago I posted asking for suggestions on getting my first Prius (also owning a car for the first time). So yeah finally I bought my first Prius.

    It's a 2014 Prisu III with 71k on odometer. So far looks amazing. Hope it gives me the service I expect!

    If you guys have any tips on care and maintenance of it, please feel free to mention.

    Thanks!

    gorgeous!
    70k is just broken in, follow the maintenance schedule. do you have maint. history? it might be worth checking the air and cabin filters, tyres pressure, oil and all fluid levels. all the best!(y)

    Page has a mistake, imo.

    Here's my revision:

    Power mode provides quicker acceleration response. In the real world it has no effect on mpg, a slight upward effect, or a slight downward effect. (for me, my mpg improves slightly). But because mpg is so high any way, The cost or savings in actual dollars is tiny. Power mode is much more responsive.
