    Hi to all Prius owners and fans...

    my name is Goran, I'm 29, coming from Croatia, Europe... and I just bought a brand new Toyota Prius Hybrid - Sol... Blizzard White Pearl :love: I absolutely love this car :love:

    My first drive in a Prius was couple of year ago and I couldn't belive how "ahead of time" this car really was. I couldn't wait to see the new one and when it came out that was it.

    Mine 2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid has "Sol" trim grade, that would be something between grade "IV" and "V" in the US just without leather seats and LED headlamps...

    * 17" alloys
    * HUD
    * Steering wheel-mounted Bluetooth
    * Premium Fabric - Misty Gray
    * CD player with 8 speakera
    * USB port with iPod
    * Plasmacluster ionizer
    * Advanced Smart Key System

    As you can read in my signature... I managed to get this numbers... city 49 mpg/ combined 47 mpg / open 67 mpg :rockon: We calculate mpg little differently then you guys in the States.

    Before Prius I was owner of the 2006 Yaris Sol and we also had 2004 Avensis Verso.

    I really love TOYOTA and never had any problems with my Yaris. I have no comment on this media circus with pedal recall and I think it's nothing more then a "conspiracy" and without the word "theory"... but that's just my opinion. There is no real evidence that there is a problem with the gas pedal and I don't see how those metal parts that they put in the pedal can fix the problem :rolleyes: Pedals get stuck under the floor mat and that's happening to almost all other car brands but nobody talks about it... Japanese people are to proud and they admitted the fault even there is no any :thumb: Well, I made a comment after all :p

    A lot of topics already helped me before I bought the Prius so I'll just keep on reading... and posting :)

    Cheers!
    G.

    Welcome to the club. The Prius is a great car.

    There are quite a few European members on here too.

    Not many I must say. Supposedly there are already 30 out in the wilderness (latest model), but probably quite some of them are dealer's cars.

    Unfortunately in Europe Prius still seems to be exclusive car for some crazy geeky people. Or that what Toyota Europe thinks and rather promotes dieselish junk over hybridish. Even though I would any day choose Prius over Avensis, which Toyota promotes quite extensively. :confused:
