Guess what's in my yard....

....my new 2011 Blizzard Pearl with fog lights is now sitting in my yard. No pics yet, but I'll post a few for those interested. I was really impressed with it, drove it home yesterday, then a few trips around town, got 4.3km/100, I'm not used to using the metric for gas, but it works out to 65mpg, which I thought was great for the first day.
Two things I've learned, I have to remember to turn it off since there is no sound, duhh.....twice I've gone back to the car after being in the house doubting myself if I've actually turned it off...but I did. The other neat thing I discovered this morning, I had to scrape the frost off the rear window as expected, BUT...the lower tinted glass part was clear, due to the spoiler jetting out, not a speck on it. Also, its like the Tardis (if any of you are familiar with Dr. Who) it seems much bigger on the inside than on the outside, feels like driving a much bigger car than it is.
I'm still getting used to the multi-screens, but that will come with experience.

All in all, so far, I think its a great car, fun to drive, a little slow on the pick-up, but that's part of making me a better driver, I learned yesterday to hit the little PWR button when pulling out onto the highway, so all is good. The fog lights make the added touch pretty sharp as well.

Next thing I have to try is the pulse/glide thingie I read here somewhere, but I'm very happy on my first day of driving to hit 65mpg, I wasn't expecting that this early.

 

yeah....I know...ha, well worth waiting for though...

 

thanks Ed, and everyone else who responded.
Yes...I'm loving' it, can't wait to take a few trips this summer and enjoy the good mileage.
You guys and gals are a great group, (like an extended family) with loads of information and knowledge, I might not have ended up with a Prius if not for this great site and the people that keep it going, it's how I learned about the car. My dealer is heading to Mexico tomorrow and he said yesterday if you have any problem with the vehicle while I'm gone just call so & so.....I said don't worry, I've got thousands of friends on Priuschat.com who can answer ANY question I may have!!:thumb:

 

I had them added on at the garage, I ordered them from Danny @ Priushop and he sent them, the dealership installed them and they look like they were factory installed. Even the mechanic who installed them said where did you get these, I'd like a pair for my Matrix, so I told him where to look & order, not sure if he can find what he's looking for but anyways....

 

yeah, after the first 218km's, I filled the tank myself and then started watching the numbers, so I know the tank was full. The car is indeed retraining me to drive, a bit slower actually, I find myself going the posted speed limit now instead of always being 10-15 over, something I did notice was how variant the speed is, (or maybe its just me?) I'll be driving at 80-85km's then I'll make a turn or something and I'll look at the speedometer and its at 68 or 70, and I don't even realize it. The vehicle rides so smooth you don't notice the speed difference....until someone starts riding your nice person then oops, better get back up to 85-90...
It's a learning experience, & loving it.:rockon:
