Well after weeks searching and researching I bought a 2010 Prius III with NAV... Color Med Red with gray interior....I want to thank all of you who answered my questions thru your Posts on PriusChat. I joined the chat a few months ago and have enjoyed learning about the Prius', Now to learn all the many new things with my car. Just drove it home so I figure by Feb I will know half of all the gizmos and things with my new "TOY". Pictures to be posted soon....... Kuffs....
I'm a newbie too, pulled the trigger 12-23-2009, love the car mostly. I have some thoughts on it. I got my Prius II with the Remote Start and the Bluetooth Blu-logic system, I wish the remote start would not shut off the car when I open the door to get in. The way I understand it, if someone WITHOUT the key fob, attempts to drive the car, the car won't move, so saying that having the car shut off when you open the car door is for driver safety is wrong. The thief CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR AWAY! So I have to be within 30 feet to remote start the car, get in it within 10 minutes or the car will automatically shut off, and even if I DO enter the car in the 10 minute time frame, the car shuts off as soon as I open the door! Not user-friendly! Also, I think they messed up by putting the Blu-Logic control buttons down underneath the Power buttons makes it harder to use the Bluetooth. But all in all I love the car.
