B) This is me looking cool in my Prius.... I thought for some new folks I'd tell what it's been like since I've had my pretty blue prius for 3 months now (a little over 4000 miles on it). I haven't enjoyed the act of driving as much since my old '76 Honda Civic. I average about 44 mpg with mixed driving...not doing anything special, just driving and a lot of it is hilly driving at that. Things I like: zippiness factor; gas economy of course; CD player (never had one before), the looks of the car and the looks i get from admirers (of the car..not me!); feeling green and slightly smug; the cargo space and folding seats; ease to drive and park; big sunglasses holder. Things that could use improvement: need drivers seat to push back more; when on auto air the fan always seems to be high which just about blows my contacts out of my eyes; the bass on radio/CD is tuned way way up...I feel the throbbing all over the car when I don't intend to; and that's about it. I really like this car. I'm really glad I bought it. I'm hoping to keep it a long, long time. susan
