    Well, I just traded in my 07 Scion tC (manual) for a 13 Prius Persona on 4/9/13(work at a dealership so lets just say that I got a GREAT price on it). So far I love it, only getting combined 46.5mpg but feel thats pretty good saying it has been doing very short distance where the ICE takes 1/2 the trip to warm up and it has been traveling through 6-12+ inchs of snow and ice.

    Have to say this baby travels in snow much better than the tC ever did, probably due to the car refusing to spin out.

    Can't wait for the weather to clear up and give it a real drive.

    I'll be clicking some pics once the horrible white stuff is off the ground, wash it, and tint the windows.
    Right now the Blizzard Pearl is splashed with mud...not what I would consider a good photo op!

    thanks bisco, I am used to a form of P&G from driving my tC manual, so feel that I was able to pump out a couple more MPG than I would normally be able to for the road conditions
