    Thanks All, first day driving my 41 miles to work. Gotta say as an ex datsun 510/autoxer the Prius handled the mountain roads well. Now to figure out all the buttons and what they do. First mistake. Marker on gas gauge that is next to the icon pump does not mean it is half full.

    The Prius is perhaps one if the few cars I read the quick start guide and browsed the owners Manuel

    Congrats! I hope you took it for a serious test drive and read a lot about it before you bought it so that you'd know what to expect.

    I read the entire manual (except the stuff that was for the Prius V.) A lot of the stuff is posted here in stickies, but it's still good to see it from Toyota as well.

    I saw the car for the first time when the deal was done. My wonderful wife did all the work and testing over the weekend. Gotta say she chose wisely. Traded in our Chrysler 300. A bit of a change!

    Question, is there a classified section for parts here in Priuschat? Yes I looked and yes I tried the search option.
