Just took delivery of my gray ‘14 Plug-In 52,900mi $12,500 private party, excellent condition I’m used to driving a completely different type of vehicle, (sold my ‘13 Mercedes C63 AMG early this year) but I enjoy this one almost as much and it’s certsinly much more economical. Hopefully I won’t need to reference the forum much, but after browsing a bit this seems like a great resource. If I have the opportunity to help, that’s always great too. Thanks all for building a site that had answered any questions I’ve had thus far.
Welcome to PriusChat. There are many people here satisfies with their PiPs. (Plugin Prius) I am sure @bisco and @jerrymildred will be along shortly to share their hints and tricks. The main forum for your car is here. Gen 1 Prius Plug-in 2012-2015 | PriusChat Your car has many similarities with the Generation 3 Prius so you may find good information there too. Gen 3 (2010-2015) Toyota Prius Forums | PriusChat
Welcome and congratulations! I agree that this is a really helpful place. @Prodigyplace has already provided the two links I was going to suggest. And the car? I think it's an amazing piece of engineering. Anyone can build a powerful car. Not anyone can build an efficient car.
Thanks for the warm welcome! After a few days with the PiP as my daily driver I have no regrets about purchasing the car. I did notice that it has mismatched tires but at least they are matching on each axle. I checked the side walls of the front tires and they are only rated at 35psi max. They are Coopers trendsetters. The rear set are Bridgestone Ecopias. Never before have I purchased a vehicle and been disappointed to find that the tires have plenty of tread depth left. I love the challenge of trying to get maximum fuel economy, and of course I want to make sure I’m using the best equipment to do so. When the first pair wears out, I will be fitting a set of Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires...unless something better surfaces before that time. Anyway, I appreciate the recommendations as far as which forums to check out. Thanks again!
Glad you like the car. It's fantastic, imho. I tossed a nearly new set of tires back in the 80s. Traction was so bad on those Firestone 721 tires that I replaced them with Michelins a couple months after I got the car.
