    Hi guys,

    Picking up my brand new 08 Prius Premium (Canada) tomorrow! Trading in my beloved E46 M3 for it! I've owned many cars, but this is actually my very first brand new car. Are there any suggestions/precautions on how to drive/care for a brand new Prius?

    Thanks!

    Here are the suggestions given in the owners manual:

    You don't really have direct control of the engine speed (the HV ECU controls that) so just drive normally (not racing other cars) for the first few weeks and you will be ok.

    Don't drive your Prius like your old M3. :D

    Drive smoothly as possble without turning into a 'Sunday driver'. Enjoy your new ride. ;)
