    Greetings all,

    I traded my 2014 Mustang GT for a 2008 Prius Touring on Friday. So happy with my decision!

    I had the Prius checked out prepurchase. She has 95k.

    Filled the tank for $25 for an estimated 400 miles. The mustang was $50 for 200 miles.

    Pics to follow.

    Cheers,

    G

    I'm curious: I get cut off all the time in the Prius, does this happen to others?

    Thanks,

    It happens to me quite a bit..I tend to take it personal and that's not a good thing.

    SM-G900V ?

    It's something you'll get used to in time. Many people expect a Prius to be slow, so will cut it off in traffic, and Sacramento seems to be worse than most places in California. It doesn't bother me as much as when people would cut me off in my F-250 diesel towing an 8000 lb 5th-wheel trailer. They didn't want to be stuck behind a "big truck", but wouldn't think about my longer stopping distance.

    I was browsing in Tapatalk and saw a list of maintenance I should do as a second owner. I'm having trouble finding it now. Could someone be a gem and post a reply here?

    Thanks,

    G
