Hi Gang, I would like to say this to all of you who are worried about whether you got your moneys worth. Prius is Prius with no resemblance to anthong that came hence. You need to own one to understand what I say. The car is a user friendly smarty that gets better everyday. Here are things to consider; Less guilt about depleting our resources(mostly fossil fuel). Less production of pollutants(Prius still runs on gas :angry: ) Hi-tech to the teeth . You can dream closer to becoming a zero emmision in a Prius. Fastest selling Toyota in the USA. These are enough reasons for me to be an worthwhile owner of this wonderful car. I have other toys for different reasons but Prius is how I get around everyday, about 150 miles a day, 6 days a week. It's a comfy car. Andy Ling
