    I remember the day my local Toyota dealer got their Prius Cs in stock, and I bought their first available one the day they came in....it took about 6 months before I saw another Prius C on the road.

    I find the same thing happening now with my Prime Advanced. Haven't seen a single Prime in LA roads yet. Any readers here in the San Fernando Valley?

    How do you like the advanced? We're shopping around now and are slowly seeking primes in the downtown LA area (during commutes)

    Already a couple of primes in my workplace. I occasionally see one on the road, but prime exterior is not as unique as traditional Priuses especially like Gen 4. So you might have missed them. It doesn't matter, though. I just love mine!

    I also switched from 2005. I love mine a lot! Cargo space is significantly smaller, so it's time to eliminate things left in the current cargo and never been used.

    Among advanced features, I extensively use the blind spot monitor and this is the reason I chose advance over premium.
    Other than this, it's good to have some features such as HUD and JBL sound system and I love them, but it's not really necessary to me.

    I did a 50-mile-stop-and-go round trip today with HV mode which averaged 60+mpg. I use mine as a pure EV for daily commutes which is more powerful than 2005 Prius just with EV mode.

    I feel guilty that I loved my 2005 Prius so much for 11.5 years, but I never miss it since I got my prime....

    Love it so much! Drives like a dream. I charge every night and have hardly touched the gas tank. JBL stereo is awesome. That 11 inch display is not quite as vivid as an iPad but it definitely gets the job done.


    iPhone ?

    Also, loving the blind spot sensors, camera while in reverse, the HUD and especially displaying what street I'm on and in what direction.

    Well without a Qi adapter/case, the wireless charger is useless for iPhones. I have a 7 Plus and the Bluetooth audio cuts out for a brief second (small hiccups) depending on what's open on my phone audio quality on calls is rock solid.

    Well you'll see me around Burbank about three times a week. Gotta pick up my grandson a couple of times a week. And usually do my shopping in and around the Empire Center. Will this construction ever end? :D

    I'm in Sherman Oaks. And sometimes use the charging station off Pass avenue by the Vons. So maybe you will see my car around.
