    Dianne's SoCal 2017 PRIME thread for inventory & deals ... fall 2016

    36 Mpg 2013 Prius package 5

    Really leaning toward a 2014 Prius Plugin, need your opinions/thoughts

    Actually, I love it and the MPG is 39 because Ford had to revised it twice already. However, I think that's mostly due to the driver. I've been...

    Really leaning toward a 2014 Prius Plugin, need your opinions/thoughts

    To be honest, I would just pay off the car since you stated you do not owe much on it left. On that note, I had a Prius C then a Prius and now a...

    City driving on ECO - Fellow driver's attitudes

    I have to say that driving in ECO mode in Maryland is horrible. For some reason, MD drivers are very aggressive and do not like Prius at all....

    New Prius owner. This is going to take some getting used to.

    I agree with all of the above, but I find it hard to keep it under 65 here on the DC beltway. LOL, 65 is the right lane which you'd have to deal...

    At the jiffy lube

    I agree with the above statement. Jiffy Lube is horrible, make sure you double check all the work they do... even then I wouldn't go there.
