    Hi all,
    Just found this site a couple weeks ago and it has been extremely helpful ,,,, been looking at 'smaller' rides for awhile and decided to go for it! I really thought about a Corlolla S, but after reading / reviewing / researching ,blah blah, I thought,, Prius!!
    I did a test drive of a II and III over the weekend and liked them both, but wanted a little more WOW! (as if MPG wasn't enuff),
    Just ordered a 2010 V model, no packages, I like the way it comes standard. It's transferring from another dealer so should be here in 2 -3 days.
    Blizzard white,
    Beige Leather,
    17" wheels,
    Tinted windows,
    Bumper guard ?
    I'll be here regularly trying to to the most out of my new ride!
    BTW - Trading in my 04 Taco, been great but 20mpg hiway has got to go, new job is 50mi round trip daily.....
    cheers!

    A 50 mile commute will let the Prius shine.

    Welcome to another fellow NC'er. I have a similar 52 mile daily commute with mostly 60 mph highway driving. I average 48 mpg, 50+ mpg in the spring and fall and about 45 mpg during the cold periods like now.

    Enjoy your new car and all of its WOW !
