Just Picked Up My 2016 THREE

I purchaced the 2016 Three not III this morning at Big Island Toyota. The salesman, Bob, was great and low key and no pressure. The financial part of it was handled smoothly and also with no pressure.

It is wonderful. The color is silver with moonstone interior. I was afraid the seats would be too light but they aren't; they are more grey. The white console doesn't bother me. But the white front part of the dash will take some getting used to. Although, it might help by not getting as hot as black would with the sun shinning on it. I read a thread here recently about the fit and finish problem but mine is perfect.

I only put abot 15 miles on it so far. The ride is smooth and mosly quiet. The ICE did come on a little more than I thought it would. But it had just been put on the lot and me and the sales person sat in it with the air on for a while before going out on the test drive. And then we drove up a hill getting up to 55mph so I could see if I could live with the performance at that speed. I feel it is more than adaquet. The sound of the ICE at that speed and whenever it came on soundes to me only as if the climate countrol fan had been put up one or to nothes higher.

I'll post more observations and probably many questions in the weeks ahead. I intend to do some video that I will put up on vimeo.

 

I'll will post a picture of the car with palms. But I was out this morning and took this one of the silver color Prius. Actually, there are tall palms behind the car. They are way out of the picture. Better photos with Hawaii landscape near the car to come soon.

Here is the photo you wanted to see near palm trees with the ocean in the background.

 

Hi Jim in NC, in the photo it looks lighter maybe because I was at the ocean and its possible all the relected light could have made it look lighter. It does look darker at times. That is why I purchased the silver too since it hopefully will not get as hot.

How are you doing with the mpg in your cooler area? (You are in a nice state. I spent a vacation in Banner Elk one year.) I got 71.8 mpg on a 16 and a half mile round trip today. The last three days I got just over 60 mpg. Thanks for your responce.

You have me thinking that it is possible I don't have the moonstone interior. Before I went to the dealer I saw on their website the only silver car they had, had the moonstone. I never looked at the sticker on the car to confirm that. I just looked at the seats and liked what they looked like. The seats are a grey color. I will take a photo and post ot in a day or two so you can compare and let me know what you think.

 

This is my first Prius and I think it is wonderful. Those are great mpg for those temperatures.

I went to the Toyota web site but could not figure out how to see all the seat and interior colors. Anyway, it stopped raining so I went out and got a photo of the seats. What do you think? are they the same grey as your seats, or are they lighter? The light gey doesn't bother my eyes and may help keep the seats from getting too hot in the summer.
