    Well, as of last night I became a Prius v 3 owner. I traded in a BMW, since my current commute is 50 miles round trip, and I have a family. I was interested in the wagon, and the technology that was in it, so I made the jump. I just wanted to drop a note and say hello!

    Welcome to PriusChat. It's particularly interesting to see new owners from non-traditional Prius states. I think Toyota considers you a win for the v. ;)

    Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride! Amazing how many people have traded in BMWs for their Prius. Hmmm.

    Welcome fellow Michigander. I haven't yet seen a v on the road here. I work in Lansing and have an 85 mile round-trip commute on I-96 toward Detroit. Post the color of your v and I'll send you a wave on the road. I'll be in a blizzard Gen III or a gray Lexus LS430.

    Hello from East Lansing!

    I just picked up our v3 about a week ago... Barcelona Red and Dark Grey. I've only seen one other v on the road in the area... A black one. Anyway... Congrats! I'm loving ours with the exception of Entune and my iPhone. Very frustrating!

    I got Entune to work, but for some reason music "skips" when playing through the USB cable. Bluetooth is fine, so I don't quite get that.

    Did you folks buy your vs at Spartan Toyota? How is their service? I'm coming up on 5K on my 2011 and Spartan is convenient to work. (I bought the car at Dunning in Ann Arbor to get the color and level I wanted.) I've been pleased with Lexus of Lansing service across the parking lot and I hope that luck holds with the Toyota service.

    I liked the service at Dunning.

    I bought mine at Spartan. I haven't done anything with service yet, so I can't comment on that.

    I have a 5K service appointment at Dunning next Monday. I'm also having them install a set of lower door moldings.
