    Drove it home yesterday from the dealer; it's a magnetic grey metallic. Looking forward to active participation in this forum.

    Drives so much better than the other car I have been driving. The suspension is pretty solid and the steering is very solid. First impressions are pretty solid.

    I take it this is your first Prius? What made you decide to buy one?

    My wife commutes a lot (close to 24k miles a year) so our other car gets a lot of mileage. My current car has 342k on the odometer so I figured I would buy a car that will get me 50% more mileage. I am just hoping it is as reliable as my other car has been. This is my first Toyota btw.

    Congratulations! That is the most loaded version of Prius. Does it come with HUD and sunroof?

    It does not have the HUD and sunroof. HUD would have been cool though.

    Our 2010 has been very reliable and has 133K on him. It;s now my sons first car. My wife picked up an 18 Four and we expect similar results. It's the only Toyota I would ever buy.

    I have to say, 342K is a ton of miles! My first car was a 1975 Peugeot 504 with 275 on it!

    Good Luck with it!

    We bought the Accord with 24k miles on the odo; it has been a great car. I now use it to commute to work. Hopefully I can take it to 400k and retire it and then buy a EV.

    2004 Accord EXL; till date the best car I have owned. Let's see if this Prius is up to the challenge.
