hey there, my wife and i picked up our new prius 11 base, in gold mist, this drives nothin like a standard car, i kinda perfer it over the gas car, plenty of room ,very comfy, and best of all the first 50 miles we put on the car were getting 50.3 mpg, cant wait to figure out how to get this number higher we already signed up for the 2012 plugin, we hope the price is somewere affordable for us, the car will work great for us , because my wife has a 7 mile drive to work, 12 to 14 miles on the battery could almost work for us, looking foward to reading all the post and info in the forum, well you all have a great day
