I got her!

Hi all,

Got my 2006 white Prius today. It's a demo with 30 000km on the odo. The dealer delivered it to my place of work, then I just had to give the driver a lift back. It's about 60km on highway. FUN!
Funny thing though, the MFD was in SWEDISH or FINNISH. Not sure. Anyway, I asked them to change it to ENGLISH, but the guy who knew the Prii at the dealership wasn't there. So I decided to dig. I managed to change to english, but I still cannot tell you where I found the setting. The manual was no bloody help by the way.

Some annoyances:
Dealer overfilled the crankcase, bout 1cm above the 2nd pip. I queried this....
There's a rattle in the dashboard. I'll forgive this one because I just love this car so much. :lol: I'll ask Toyota to have a look at the next service.

Speaking of service, my service booklet is blank. Wth! :blink: I queried this too. These are minor things, but I believe one should make mention of it. The dealer musn't think you're a pushover, otherwise they try to get away with more and more.

The car had a skuff/minor ding on the bumper when I test drove it. Whoever fixed it did a teriffic job. When I arrived home there was a pickup parked in the road. My neigbour was having his roof fixed or somethin. The owner of the pickup came over to chat. He thought the Prius looked:"Sexy". I showed him the interior and he was impressed. Also, at a stoplight some kids in the back of a car was pointing and smiling.

In conclusion I just want to say that the JBL soundsystem is F$CKIN awesome! I'll post a photo soon if you like. It's dark out now. Can't take one.

 

First impressions;

Initialy I found the accelerator pedal too small. Then I realised it was more flat than my BMWs pedal. The accelerator pedal in my BMW was allmost straight up. The Prius pedal is more flat. I just had to adjust my foot, placing my heel further back. Fine now.

I have never had a car with a foot operated parking brake. Initialy I was like:" Where the hell is it?" Poking around underneath with my foot. Now I got it.

I feel like DeeDee in Dexters Lab. "Oooh what does this button do?" Reading the manual now....
