Bought our first Prius

Hey Folks, with the price of fuel in Canada, and all the driving we do, we finally decided it was time to try a hybrid. We pick up a blue 2021 Tech/Advanced AWD-e on saturday. I'm a Dealer Tech with Chrysler, so do a bit of hybrid work, and this is our first Toyota, currently driving Volvos, 2103 XC60 T6 , a 2015 V60 Polestar, and a 2008 XC70. The 08 is leaving, and the xc60 will be my daily, the Prius the wifes. I did look at a Bolt, and a CX3 AWD, but wanted AWD and a hybrid. I wish could have got a plug-in, but wanted the AWD, so this is what we decided on. Hopefully will work out well! With the fuel savings, it will almost pay for the car.

I was surprised how well these drive. I had only drove older ones the odd time, and found them a bit of a tin can, this drives quite nice. It was also a nice surprise to learn on here, that under the ugly hub caps, they have a decent looking wheel. I was looking online for wheel replacements , and was going to use stock ones for winters. Caps are coming off quick!

Looks like a great forum, will be nice to be around.

 

Already ordered And yep

 

Very happy with this, a great drive! Dealership experience was good, easy and no nonsense.
Hubcaps yanked, proximity speaker neutered( wife says Wth is that first time in reverse), interior and door lights swapped to LED, center caps ordered, dark tint next week.
