I just bought my new 2012 Prius on 9/14. I really wanted a Mini Cooper S, but with the high octane gasoline it uses and all the traveling we do, i quickly changed my focus back to Toyota. We are a Toyota family and i traded in my 2003 Highlander with 154,000 miles. I love this car. I wanted to thank whomever posted the "how to change the date" post. The manuals do not tell you how to accomplish that. I was very frustrated and googled the question and your forum cam up. Anyway, i am looking forwaed to talking with you all at some point.
Your maintenance fees on your new Prius vs. the Mini-cooper in the coming years are going much much cheaper....if at all. The Mini is essentially a BMW. Good luck on your decision.
