Hi All, Wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, and say thank you to everyone who posts here. Such great information, all in one place! I recently purchased a '09 Prius, Driftwood Pearl, Package VI, with about 10k miles. I'd owned an 07 that I loved, but foolishly traded it in for a Rav4, thinking I was still an SUV kind of person (had a 4Runner prior to the 07 Prius). Nope, I'm not! Missed the Prius almost daily, except in some really lousy snow storm driving I did not try snow tires on my '07, but will definitely be putting them on the '09 for next winter and hopefully that will solve the problems I'd had before with the traction control trapping me in my drive LOL Happy to be part of the Prius club again
