    Brought home Barcelona Red Touring Pkg 6 w/ Beige Leather 1 week ago.
    Replaced my 2000 Chrysler 300M.

    I considered a Prius for many months before finally deciding. The availability of the 'Touring' model with its' tighter suspension, fog & HID lights, and larger wheels pushed me over the edge!

    What a GREAT vehicle! Still on my 1st tank of gas. Just below 1/2 mark and 330 miles. Registering 47.4 mpg on MFD and steadily climbling. Quiet, tight, roomy/plenty of storage, supportive seats, fantastic handling, plenty of get up & go, and just plain fun.

    Ordered side mouldings through Prius Chat which arrived same day I brought her home. Had a body shop install. Looks just like they were on from the factory. Very pleased. Sun shade on order, along with a 12v air compressor from Sears. From reading the many write ups here, decided those items were very much worth while. Also had dealer install 3M Clear Bra. Glad I did.

    Will be taking trip in about a month from Denver to Wisconsin. Anxious to see how she performs along I-80 and out of altitude.

    Thanks for the great & useful comments & information on this site. Gave me the confidence I needed to take the plunge!

    How much was the air compressor?

    Did you shop around out there? Any dealer you'd recommend in particular? I may be calling out there to get a #5 Touring in Super White since they aren't available in that color around here. Are there many Tourings on the lot out there? What kind of a deal did you get?

    Enjoy that boring drive across Nebraska on I-80 ... Iowa may be a bit worse though :) Honk when you go through Lincoln!

    CONGRATS ... and thanks!

    Bought through internet sales at Burt Toyota. Great experience and price. Sales guy very down to earth and anxious to help. His name is 'Brad Ambrozevitch', 303-761-3222. Let him know Mike referred him.
    Ended up under invoice. He worked to find one just like I wanted and held it for me until I made up my mind.
    Easy to recommend someone like that.

    Let me know how it works out for you.
