    I figured I should say hey before I post my real question elsewhere. I currently drive an 03 Mustang GT and have always driven Mustangs. I started looking at Subaru Outbacks a couple of months ago when I decided that I needed more room. The only thing was that I noticed the gas mileage wasn't that great for those cars and though not a deal breaker, I was hoping for much better. Out of curiosity, I looked up "Prius forums" on google and was led here. After lurking and reading for a couple of weeks, I realized you guys love these cars as much as Mustang people love their cars. I'm not sure what I've been more impressed with, these cars or this forum. :) Hopefully I'll finally get to drive one sometime this week and confirm that this is what I want to do. So anyways, hi there.

    Welcome!

    Enjoy your test ride. Hopefully you get at least a day if not two. Prius is quite different than a Mustang and you should have a chance to decide if you like it after you settle into driving it a little.

    Subaru has quite the following, too. I was also surprised their fuel economy was not impressive when looking to buy a new car.

    I think your going to really like a Prius. Especially the 3rd gen. I had 07 white v6 Mustang. My wife and I loved that car, but my 80 mile roundtrip to work was killing me on the gas! I got a 07 lt green Prius we really liked it, but the sits felt like I was sitting on bar stool, so we just got a 2010 Prius…that car freaken rocks!!!
