    I've posted a few times as I researched my purchase, but now I'm real: picked up my 2010 Red Prius III w/Nav on Friday.

    I'm very happy with 52 mpg so far on my first 1/2 tank of gas, the JBL sound system is great, my cell phones both connected w/ Bluetooth in 5 seconds each and calls are a real dream to experience on the road, and the IPod connected immediately and works very well. And although the FM reception has some static, it is because of the topography here in NH. My former and current Tacoma and (former) Matrix and (former) Corolla had the same FM issue in NH, so I can't blame the Prius. And yes, you've noticed that I've owned Toyota's for a while now, for good reason.

    I wonder if Toyota has fixed some of the Prius issues that others have reported on this forum, now that the 2010 is almost year into production. Let's see, can I find something to complain about? Yes--the weather has been too hot lately!

    :)

    I have a two week old silver Prius package II and am getting worse fm reception than my Carolla. I listen to books on tape so not a problem. The computer says I am getting 52 miles to the gallon, which I am very happy with. Playing with the car to get good milage is great fun.

    Welcome, Chris! And stop by (and maybe try your hand at a fuel economy run) at the Green Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, May 8.
