Hello everyone, I'm a software consultant working for a medical IT company. I'm planning on selling my Nissan 370z and shopping for a new Barcelona Red Prius III. Gas mileage of 18MPG, insurance, lack of cargo space, and monthly payments is a killer, especially when I am going to work and school with student loans. I'm hopping and envisioning the Prius would be a great car to use as a daily.
I went from a 31mpg Toyota Matrix and my Prius has exceeded all my expectations. The post 51/48 milaege is well below what I'm getting. Sitting at a light with the engine off, with the a/c ON was awkward the first time I drove the car. So be prepared for a different approach, all for the bottom line...savings. Hope you get onboard!
Here is my post on who should NOT own a Prius, better to find out now. considering a Prius | PriusChat
I love my Prius. I went from 15mpg --->51mpg. Havent regretted it one day! Good Luck and post some pictures when you get it!
