    Just bought a new 2011 Prius II on Saturday and am really excited about it. The only thing i'm bummed out about is that the Prius III was only $1k more with a better sound system and bluetooth. I guess I didn't really factor in that the difference wasn't much at all until the contract was signed...now im being haunted by the fact that I could have had some additional features for only $1k more. I'm sure i'll get over it... just wanted to let it out.

    This is the first car i've purchased without the help of my parents. My previous car was a Mini Cooper. I guess the bright side is that I no longer have to pay ridiculous prices for BMW maintenance...oh yeah, the 50 mpg is great too

    :cool:

    Welcome aboard Allen, great choice. Do a search, many people have swapped out their Head Unit and have been very pleased with the results (see my signature).

    Welcome and Aloha,

    Get to know your new car you will both be happy. Check your tire pressures and follow the break in recommendations. There is allot of information information here you just have to search for it. There are many PC members in Cali your lucky. Here we have many Prii but I don't think many owners are PC members.
