    Hi I'm John, 69 years old with a 5 year old son and a six year old prius. I love my "new car". I had two Insights a 2010 EX with 310,000 miles on it and a 2013 LX? with 8,000 miles on it, my wife's car. I drove 48 miles one way to work and I loved the 2010. It was very well worn with 252,000 when I bought it, but it looked good and did the job. I was so impressed with it I bought my wife a new one, the 2013. I really enjoyed driving it. I sold it and bought a Corvette. I bought a Toyota Sienna 22 MPG on a very good day, and sold the new insight, because all of a sudden had 4 kids to haul, foster kids and my own. We couldn't all fit in the Insight. I drove the 2003 corvette for 2 years to work then retired. I just sold the Corvette and bought the Prius that I was longing for. We woke up one morning and gas prices went to 3.39, we went for a ride, it cost me like $55 to fill up the van since it went up. We drive the van a lot, I was filling up twice a week. I said right then I was buying a Prius, so here I am.
    It amazes me my car gets better gas mileage than my motorcycle, a 2013 CB1100. I have a few bikes, and they are all going to be sold now. (so I can buy a 2000 insight)
    Thanks all
