    Oh yeah! Hunkering down with the the manual, for sure! Luckily, I am a desperate reader!
    I have Turenza's. Will switch to Michelin's before the next winter. What a difference that made on our 2004.

    Bought it with 6 miles on it.

    Thanks for the welcome. I've been here before, since 2006. I was Golddust the first time around but forgot my password and registered again using my dog's name. He's male, I'm female.

    The Prius V is apparently very popular and hard to find. There were four seekers for two cars last night at the dealer. While we were attending business, another salesman took our car out for a test drive, unaware it was sold. That was pretty funny.

    Congrats!
    I think you'll be happy with your purchase. The blizzard pearl Prius (especially with the 17" wheels) looks great! I'd recommend getting the lower body rocker panels that Lexus' hybrids have. It gives it a crisp look. Enjoy your new Prius!

    Congrats! You'll love the ATP. The DRCC is the one I use the most. PCS seatbelt retraction has happened a few times (you have to be above 42mph it seems) and you wouldn't even know it was working til you hear the seatbelt motor release the tension. Very cool.

    The APGS is a nice party trick or one to show the neighbours. Or the few times you're feeling lazy lol.

    I love the ATP, I'm sure you will too. I agree with Tideland, the DRCC is really quite useful and amazing.
