    Hi all. Okay, after weeks of comparing vehicles, I bought a 2010 Prius the other day. So far, it's fine - not sure about gas mileage yet, just learning, but the reviews I've read are all OUTSTANDING! So, a little buyer's remorse won't last long, I hope.

    Thanks so much for the helpful tips and knowledge you are all sharing on this chat. It's wonderfully considerate and helpful of you : )

    I drive DCFS foster children to/from supervised visits, sometimes 1000 miles per week, so the smart thing to do was to maximize my mileage reimbursement $$, right? Right. I did keep my 2007 Saturn Vue though, because it's still got some life in it and I like it too - but the Prius will be my 1st choice to drive for many, many reasons.

    Welcome aboard Cheryl and enjoy the ride! Smart to keep the VUE as backup since I am sure it is all paid for by now.

    At 1000 miles a week that car will be turning a profit in no time! Welcome to the club.

    You should come to love this vehicle, especially given your high mileage driving demands.

    Congrats! I also got a Prius 2010 a few weeks ago and had a bit of buyers remorse. I got over it in about 3 days. And I absolutely love it! Hope you and the kids are enjoying it!
