Hey everyone! Yesterday I become the proud owner of a 2012 Prius c Three in what I call "Sonic blue" because it looks like Sonic the Hedgehog to me I'm so happy! Picture: http://healthplusfifty.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/378225_772256989006_89880223_n.jpeg It's my first new car; I'm coming from my first car, a 2000 Mercury Sable that I had since I was 17. It was bittersweet to trade it in, but I got a new job and I needed a reliable car so the Prius c it was! These little guys are difficult to come by around these parts and seem to sell out as soon as they get them in. I got the last one; they had to get it off the showroom floor for me I'm really looking forward to learning how to use all of the features on my Prius c, but luckily I have my Mother (who was a 2012 Rav4) and my fiance (his mother has a 2008 Prius) to help me out a little! I've been playing around with my driving, looking up videos, etc. the best I got so far was 56MPG on my way to Brooklyn Heights this morning, I'm hoping for better mileage as I get better at driving this little guy. I just LOVE how it can zip around congested areas and park with ease, so much fun! I hope to post around more and get to know everyone! Thanks!
They are awesome, wish I had gotten mine earlier. Hope you find this link useful. What every newb should know | PriusChat
Bear in mind, a Prius does not save you money on gas automatically, you have to learn to work it. Speeding up hill sucks your gas faster and gradual acceleration has been my best friend to date.
