Hi there,

I'm strongly considering getting a new Prius as a replacement for a VW Passat. I am looking at lots of cars and love the Prius' fuel economy and low emissions. Not to mention it's a heck of a lot cheaper than a BMW or Lexus. A few quick questions for you:

1) Does it have enough power to pass on the freeway? I'm sort of concerned, having driven several cars with substantial power over the years.

2) I live in Southern California. Do any of you know of good dealerships in the area?

3) Should I have to pay a premium above MSRP for a Prius? Should I need to go on a waiting list? I am looking to get Black with the nav system and all options.

4) What phones will work with the Bluetooth feature?

5) Anything else I should know?

Thanks so much.

Mike from LA
