    Hi Everyone,
    I have just joined the forum as I am looking to rejoin the Prius family. I had a 2010 Prius but then due to a new baby swapped it for a 2014 Grand Picasso 7 seater. I haven't yet seen a 2016 Prius in the flesh but love the looks and the tech so will be spending a lot of time on here researching (and maybe contributing too).
    Thanks!

    Really???

    I sat in one for the first time today as my local dealer got it in on the 1st March.
    I really liked the car in the Showroom. It was a white Business Plus model and seemed just as I hoped. The Boot is obviously quite a bit smaller that what I am used to but glad that it seems long and wide rather than tall as that is more useful for what we carry.
    The overall shape of the car seemed simpler in the flesh than in the pictures and gave it a more sophisticated look. So far really impressed!
    The main appeal is the technology in the car. I have active cruise control on my Picasso but it just coasts to slow down rather than actually brake etc so that is the feature that I look forward to using on a day to day basis.
    I am booked in for a test drive on Saturday so will let you know what I think.
