Default Re: Will be a Prius owner very soon!

Jason usualy does first welcomes, however I'm online right now and thought I'd say hi.

We're glad you are joining the club of happy owners. You will be the owner of an enthusiast car very soon. Not many people will ever own an enthusiast vehicle in their lives.

My purchase wasn't quite site unseen, however the test drive I got was limited. But I was sold based upon that test drive. The car isn't a 4Runner by any means, but better, once you get used to being in a vehicle that is closer to the ground again. You might be surprised, the sitting position is quite upright, much more SUV like than not. It is a very comfortable position to ride and drive in.

Don't be surprised if your MPG isn't that hot when you first get it. It takes time for the vehicle to break in. But you are very fortunate to not be taking delievery in the winter when that works against your MPG also.

I feel safe in speaking for others that we are glad you are here
