Newb LOVING my Prius

congrats! and :welcome: to priuschat. we need every member we can to compete with california. all the best!

 

Congrats!! I was driving a SUV since 2000 and just got my Prius 03/31/12! It's the best thing ever! I just came back from my very first day trip 2 hours away from home today and looooved driving it! I hated driving in my SUV long trips but had no qualms today! Hope you have a great time with it too!

 

Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride!

 

Two months tomorrow for me and for the most part I feel the same way. My only regret is that I did not realize the Prius is not recommended for pulling a trailer. We have a recumbent tandem trike that we have always pulled on a lightweight trailer. It was not a problem with our former 2007 Honda Fit.
So..... I'm 95% happy.

 

Welcome! This is my first car (after a couple Jeeps) in many years. I'm loving it. I'm not getting that mileage, tho , but it's still a huge improvement.

Congrats on the car!

 

Congrats--enjoy.

 

Congratulations on the new purchase. The more you drive it, the more I think you
will like it--great car!

 

For jaymac, I wouldn't think twice about pulling a light-weight trailer with your bike. I occasionally pull a 4 x 8 light-weight folding trailer (250 lbs.) with modest loads of furniture, yard waste, whatever, with no problem at all. The heavy center section of my Quality S hitch unbolts with 4 bolts, leaving only two small brackets - no extra weight or wind resistance for the other 99% of my driving. The harness is hidden away and the brackets are easily removed if ever there were a concern about warranty or taking it to a dealer for service. I'll wager you'd have no more issues with your Prius than you did with your Fit.

 

Thanks for that info ! Would it be possible for you to provide a link to that Quality S hitch that you described ? That sounds like exactly what I need.
