What a great car!

After a few years of anticipation, and a few months of waiting, I finally picked up my new Plug-in Prius about a week ago.
Took delivery from First Team Toyota in Chesapeake, VA. They jumped on the PC Approved list from the beginning, and working with them was painless from start to finish. The lovely Becky Richmond was my salesperson and as soon as the car arrived at the port she provided me with the VIN# and took down all my necessary info to expedite the delivery as soon as I walked into the dealership. Very nice people there, painless process, I'd buy a car from them anytime.
Seeing my new PiP for the first time, It sure looked nice hooked up to their Leviton EVSE, clean and shiney in their delivery bay.
Becky got my iPhone paired and Entune set up.
Having already taken care of all the details on my end prior to getting there, In no time I was on my way home.

Fully charged and fueled I began my 540 mile trip home. Even that was easier and painless than I had imagined. Using EV to the interstate and during two stops along the way, the trip was done at 65MPH in HV mode without stopping for fuel! I averaged 59 MPG and when I did fill up the next day, pumped 9.1 gallons of gas. Calculated MPG right on the money!
Pretty good. Better than my Gen II would have done.

I'm moving up to the PiP from an '07 GenII. with 118,000 trouble free miles, that we still have.
So the PiP is a big step up for me, with all the Gen III improvements and the Plug in to boot!
What an improved Prius! I feels so much more substantial, more refined, bigger, quieter, smoother and better handling. What's not to like? I love the interior contrasts of black with silver accents and grey cloth.
Although the base model, that Display Audio w/ Nav unit is really nice. HD radio, satellite radio, BT phone & audio, and great iPod connectivity. The nav is simple, but very intuitive and fully functional while moving!!!!!! Voice command works flawlessly for me. I have no issues with it at all.
I've adapted quickly, having read and studied about the HSI and Gen III
techniques for a couple years now, and of course, you first-delivery-wave PiP pioneers who figured it out so quickly. Thanks.

Now over a week later, I'm 640 miles into my second tank of gas!
With a consumption indication of 85 MPG, I'm planning on a 850 mile tank. That includes 4 rd. trips to work (94 miles) with charging on both ends for only 1 of those trips. Otherwise it's local driving consisting of about 80% EV driving.

So far the PiP has exceeded my every expectation. It's amazing what it can do with its EV capacity. I'd like that capacity to be larger, but wouldn't we all!

Now, if the rest of the world would just catch up to us, and get some EV charging stations at Wal-Mart, all the restaraunts I frequent and the theater. Basically everywhere I go!
