    We have had our new Prius just two weeks and 1000 miles. So far we are really enjoying the comfort, mileage and new approach to transportation. I traded in a 2008 BMW 335xi coupe so it was a big change power wise.

    In a nutshell I like it. As an retired engineer I appreciate the thoughtful design and attention to detail. I also found the dealer experience to be significantly better than my BMW dealer.

    Several years ago I purchased for my daughter a Corolla which we have been very happy with.

    The Prius is not the fanciest car or the fastest but it is very well though-out and executed. I have also had fun kidding my wife that I am offsetting what her V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee is doing to the planet. (We live in big snow country and need it)

    One final thought this is a great site with a wealth of knowledge. I have learned much reading here over the last two weeks. Thank you for all the insights.

    [​IMG] to Prius Chat! I hope you find your Prius as useful as I find mine.

    I confess it does not always have all the power I want, but it always has all the power I need.

    I should have described the vehicle a bit. It is winter grey with a grey interior. It came with the blu logic (from the factory) and a couple of extras like door guards and the luggage area extra carpet mat and net. The ability to stream music via blu tooth has been a nice bonus. Beyond that pretty basic. I did not do much research before the purchase. I made the change on a lark. Did 2 test drives and decided I liked the technology.

    I agree that it's a very interesting car. I'm also an Engineer and after riding in my bosses 2010 Prius several times and being very impressed, I bought a 2011 Prius III. It's definitely an Engineer's car, I have a blast playing with all the electronic gadgets.
