    So excited to be an owner of a 2014 Prius Three! I LOVE IT! I silently spent some time on this forum answering a lot of my own questions. I have ALWAYS been an SUV kind of girl. My first car was a 97 Toyota Rav4, which I bought used and drove for 11 years. Then I moved on to a used 2006 Toyota Highlander. As you can see I am faithful to Toyota, but only because their cars have always been faithful to me. A year and a half ago I got a job that is 40 miles round trip, but I take emergency call so some nights I get called into work for an emergency multiple times. My record has been 4 times in one night, that's 160 miles!! My Highlander would only get 19 miles to the gallon. A lot of gas usage. I was a little nervous that I would have trouble going from an SUV to a car, but I have to say this PRIUS is AWESOME! And it is so much fun to get in and drive. I'm still getting use to the technology, as I have never even had a car that has handsfree, or bluetooth capability. OH, I also got the solar package which I think is so neat as here in Vegas it gets to be 120 degrees in the summer! Meet my BOY BLUE! I look forward to reading and talking with you guys on this forum!

    Welcome! I also just recently found out these cars rock. The more you drive the more you save, at least that's the way I look at it coming from my truck that got 13 mpg!
