Hello from Nova Scotia

Hey all,

I'm not a Prius owner yet but will be in the near future, and going forward, I suspect ill be on here a lot lol

Currently I am driving a 2011 Mitsubishi Eclipse which has served me very well! and although its about to hit 300K, its still runs amazing! I even still get comments on it the odd time (attached is a photo). However I felt it was time for something more efficient, so back in October 2022 I ordered a Prius Prime in Maximum Yellow, they tell me it will be a 2024. Actually back then I ordered based on the 2022 model but had a great feeling about the Gen5, and well, it blew my expectations away lol

Although there is a Toyota near me, I ordered this from the Halifax Toyota 4 hours away. Felt that ordering from this Toyota in the city would get me it quicker. Things are going very slow though, they wont even look into an ETA til it hits a full year since order.

Any other Prius prime owners in Canada that are either waiting or got yours? How long was it or has it been?

I'm debating on buying winter rims and tires beforehand, not sure if Ill get a deal through Toyota.

Although the Eclipse is good on gas, its still costing me $500 a month on avg, can't wait for the Prius and the money it'll save me. I have a very nice down payment saved for the Prius, plus 8K rebate, I wont owe much and went with the top trim!

 

Thanks Louis.... that's impressive mileage!!

I checked PMCTire based out of Quebec, they list the 2024 Prius and I was able to select the attached, total would be 2K but some very nice winter wheels and tires come studded, ready to install with lugs, TPMS and that.

We do have weather coming, but I don't believe it'll be to bad... but will be hunkering down with chips and storm beers this weekend haha

 

Correct, no AWD and feel studded tires are a must in my area. Currently PMCTire has 25% off with promo code PMCTIRE25 ... didn't pull the trigger on buying yet but thinking I should.

Definitely very excited to move from as gasser to a PHEV, have done lots of research to date, but could use some more, so I will check out those recommendations, thanks!

I do have a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid which we ordered March 2022 and got in March 2023, and I've learned alot from driving that, so I somewhat know what to expect.

Thanks everyone!
