Jumped ship to Gen3 Prius TWO today!

I regret to inform you you owe $1000 fee to the Gen2 forum....we do not let people out without payment

(I am interested in the back up cam mod for my other car, according to my wife)

 

wow!

 

Nooooooooooo! Don't leave the gen II club! You always had me laughing with all your hilarious replies. All jokes aside, congrats on the new ride! Does it have the stock 15" rims? That's one thing that sucks about the gen 3, the stock rims look super shitty and cheap. On the plus side the upgraded rims are to die for

 

Does your 2012 have the black rims under the hubcaps? If so I think they look sweet. Just pop some center caps on and you have free "rims"...

If they are the silver ones you might like that look or you can plasti dip them black or just rock the hub caps till they fall off like mine did..... Well lost one and figured it was just easier, looked better, and was cheaper to pop em off...

 

Congratulations.
I know you deliberated about the decision.
Hope you enjoy The Gen 3 experience.

 

I made my transition to Gen III quietly, with little fanfare. I also promised to visit the Gen II forum often and continue to comment, which I have. And I am most certainly enjoying my Generation III experience thus far.

 

There just might be a bill outstanding somewhere. I will have to carefully mind my pints and quarts lest I incur some wrath.

 

Pints and quarts can be deducted from your bill as long as wjtracy is along at time of purchase!

 

Seriously?

I've hung around Prius Chat so long, that I like to think I'm pretty familiar with the entire "Prius Family" across generations.

But I even commented here before I even owned a Prius.

And I poison the conversation with my presence across the board. Sure I own a Gen 3, but I think I've got enough knowledge to sometimes hit a base hit in a different forum.

I'm not afraid to boldly crash the OTHER party.

 

I'm interested in hearing some real life mpg comparisons between Gen II and III.

 

I bet you're pumped you don't have to deal with that damn "bladder" anymore.. see what I did there. . sorry lol!

 

Not scientific or anything. I drive 140 miles a day, 5 days a week, same route. In my 2008 the 3 year long term average was 47.5 mpg. I've been driving my 2011 now since November 2014 and the long term average (have not reset Trip B since purchase) is 49.3 mpg. That is for 9396.1 odometer miles. And it's a bit low probably due to winter temperatures, but those are Arizona winter temperatures.

 

There is that coolness factor. I still miss my 2008 though. Spent a lot of time in that car. I'll have to update my avatar here one of these days.

 

So, what are the payments and for how long?
Interesting that you like the look and feal of the gen 3 more than the gen2, most threads on the subject are of the opposite opinion, I had a 2, also felt it looked nicer and drove more sporty, my mileage with the 2 during the summer was 52mpg, with the gen3I get 62mpgs in the summer.
