    Hi Robert.

    :welcome: to Prius chat!

    Tell us about your current commute: Distance one way, type of traffic (Freeway/Streets, MPH), days of the week, etc. Give us a budget, mention passenger/cargo needs, other needs/hobbies you may have.

    Just as an example: My commute is to a different location each day but all of them are at least 55 miles away on 2 lane 55 MPH roads that I take at 61 MPH, I carry lots of light cargo but few to no passengers, but I weigh 370 pounds. I have hot, humid weather but the roads are dead flat. (I gain 60 feet in 156 miles) I tend to work 3 days a week but on my days off I drive 'church ladies' needing knee/hip surgery to Dr appointments in Memphis or Jackson, on 70 MPH freeways I take at 71 MPH with a passenger for 110 miles one way.

    If I was buying today, I am an ideal Prius V owner, but I actually own a decked out Gen 2, which gets 30,000 miles a year in use.
