    Well, then you'll be even more excited to hear that some of us are still thrilled with our OLD Prius.

    The excitement of ownership never fades, the ever-climbing price of gas and the struggle of the other automakers to catch up continues to reminder you how smart of a purchase decision you made.

    Mabrook, EmptyG ! I hope you do not mind having your new Prius congragulated and blessed in arabic -- I have never found a good english alternative :)

    Nice icon. I have been staring at it for a minute, thinking that with a minor mod or two, it could make for a great smiley.

    So I've had it since Wednesday and I LOVE IT! My gf is so jealous of it now, though who's kidding who - she can drive it when she wants :)

    I am so thrilled I waited and got the one I wanted. Grrreat car all around. The one thing I wasn't sure of is what my iPod would sound like plugged into the AUX port, but it sounds superb, no difference between that and a CD at all. :)

    Goood times :) I am driving it like a baby and parking on the outskirts of parking lots (away from other cars).

    Wooohooo Prius!!! :)


    I am at 200 miles and down to half a tank. I think I remember reading that the first few tanks are "break in" tanks, and will be much lower MPG for the first few months, yes?

    Yes, there is a break in time, both for the car and the driver.

    Enjoy! :D

    CONGRATS!!!! I have had mine for 4 days now and haven't stopped driving since I picked it up. I did let my husband drive it once. Now if he wants to drive one he'll have to get one of his own. I have never liked to drive a lot but now I can't wait to get behind the wheel. Never knew what this car could do to you! At least I can blame my son for this addiction to the Prius because he's the one that introduced me to it. You'll just love it!!! Have fun and let us know how addicted you are to driving a Prius.
