    Hi new to the forums,
    I just inherited a 2010 Prius III with 68k miles from my parents since they are getting a new car.
    A bit of a learning curve coming from a 2004 Subaru wrx wagon lol..
    I should search the forums but just witnessed braking over a bump and the car kind of pushed forward is this normal? My father brought it in for the recall. Any help would be great!

    From what I have read here that appears to be normal (I'm talking about the braking).

    4 past Subaru's here! Welcome you will find there are many Prii owners who have had Subaru's or currently also own one or two!

    Speculation that the Gen 4 may be sold with AWD.

    Hope that braking is not a big issue, might need a little practice and trick. For sure you'll enjoy the prius soon, welcome!

    yeah you just have to ease in on the brakes, not a bad car at all just a learning curve from something that picks up quicker.
