Getting older and wiser, Getting a Prius C!

Just got back from test driving a Prius C.

After reading a bit here, I knew I was to expect difference.
What I didnt realize is that it sealed my fate!!

I am going back in tomorrow to seal the deal...but have to order the color/trim I want.

I am getting a C four with everything, Grey!

Yes, it was a bit different than what I am used to....
2010 Scion xB RS 7.0
Just got rid of a 1996 Honda Accord

But I am all for paying less for gas.
I am going on 35 yrs old and we have 3 kids.
We were going to get two Prius C's but held off the
get more acquainted with the hybrids, and also to look more into the
Prius V and Prius. They would give us more room for
extended trips with the whole 5 piece family.

I am looking forward to getting my new hybrid and pissing off the people that are behind me, finally!!!!:rockon:

Thanks to all,

Rob

 

Thanks fella's....yes wiser and cooler!

Yeah, I know 35 isnt old..but older than before.

We have been using the Scion for 2 years, so I thought the Prius C wouldnt
be too far...and the tightness of the Scion we got used to.
But taking a glance at the Prius V and Prius, we decided to just start off slow. (no pun intended!)

27 mpg avg for the scion....I just want to get double and be happy
But I know my OCD and ADD will get the best and I will be eCono/safe/hypermiling!
Not being stupid, but just trying my best.

All just for personal gratification and pleasure.

 

Ok, so I decided to not wait on one of these.
I cant justify waiting either a few weeks or up to a few months,
just for trim and color.

Dealer had said 3-5 weeks, but we all know how that goes.

So since the dealer got three of them thursday evening, and one was gone on Friday.
When I test drove the C2-super White friday afternoon, they only had
that and a Absolutely Red C3.
I came back Saturday morning and the RED was gone...
I got the Super White.
Boy, does it look sweet all nice and shiny.
Being clean gives it a depth of color.
When it was dirty, it looked like the paint was thin.

Well, a few trips already and I am 50+
We had to go back to get my car I left... there and back
25miles and 59.5 MPG yummy!!!!!
Only cost $1.77
While my girl drove the Scion home, even at 27MPG
Still cost a gallon @ $3.85

 

I like the look of the hub caps off.
the black/white combo is best.

First pic I got so far!
