Hey Everyone. First time Prius owner. I picked up a 2009 Prius 4 a couple of days ago. It's loaded with just about every option but leather. I've always driven Volvos. I love them, but live in Chicago, and was looking to get a car that gets better MPG. The Volvos cost a lot to maintain, and I had to fill them up once a week or week and a half. I'd never driven a Prius before until last week. I wasn't expecting much in terms of comfort, but was pleasantly surprised. I'm overwhelmed with all of the gadgets and technology, but am quickly learning how to use the touch-screen in particular. It mostly makes intuitive sense. I made the decision to get a slightly older Prius so I could get more options on it. It's Toyota Certified, so I'm happy it's got a warranty. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and learn a lot about this fantastic machine!
welcome! that's a beautiful color. how many miles on her? i had an '04 and '08, you're gonna love it. all the best!
Awesome! Love the color. Congrats on the purchase, you are going to love it. It took me a week or so to realize that the "Info" button (for those of us with NAV) on the steering wheel also toggles the touch screen without having to actually touch it and get fingerprints all over it. Enjoy!
It's got 54,000 on it. My max when looking was 60k, so I'm comfortable with the odo knowing it's got a lot of life left in it. It was one ownder, always dealer maintained at the recommended intervals, very clean, and runs great. Knowing it was well cared for sealed the deal for me with the sale.
Gave my '08 with 108K mi. to my wife - I think it's as good as the day I drove it off the lot - never a minute's trouble - good decision you made - great color - Enjoy! By the way - I bought me a '12 - Why drive anything but a Prius? BlackBerry 9930 ?
Actually, my wife and I will probably have to buy a second car in the coming months. We will be looking at getting a wagon that has more room, and comfy on long trips. I gotta say that I'm really seriously considering a Prius V, but I think we're going to need a little more room than that. Looking at possibly a Subaru Outback or possibly a Jetta Diesel wagon. Any suggestions?
TSX will be discontinued replaced by a TLX in 2014 model year 2013 production year. Just a FYI. I only know this because we spent a Day at Acura my wife purchased a ILX Hybrid. This occurred since I purchased a Prius and she decided to get a Hybrid.she likes Acura this is her third Acura purchase.
Welcome, Ryan! Love the color of your Prius! You are going to be very happy every once in a blue moon when you have to stop by a gas station and see how much it costs you to fill up your tank
