    Just purchased a used 2012 Prius. So excited to join the owner club of this awesome vehicle. Crazy auto change, coming from a manual Nissan Frontier. So far this car is sick on the back roads around me. The interior and features continue to amaze and impress me. I scheduled an appointment with Toyota to take another look over. My mechanic found no issues when inspected before purchasing. After doing some research seems like this was a fleet car. Hoping the savings pay off on this purchase for me.

    Congrats on your purchase! I love my little pod car and the great gas savings over my Acura. Enjoy!

    Congrats and welcome!

    Don't forget to check out Toyota Online Owners Manuals and Warranty for an online version of your owner's manual (if you like to keep a copy of it on your phone instead of the book in the glovebox), information on your Entune system and I guess if you sign up, you can keep up-to-date on any recalls or TSBs.

    Welcome to the best community of Prius owners. I bought my 2012 Prius C about 5 months ago and I am still getting used to it - I had a manual Toyota Echo and drove a stick for almost 30 years (I have attempted to change gears a few time ;)

    Enjoy your (almost) new car and read as much as you can on this site.

    Cheers.

    Thanks for the friendly reception! So far I'm enjoying driving this Prius. The gas consumption $$$ at the end of every drive is nice to see.
