Hi Everyone, I will be a new Toyota Prius owner today. I will be picking up my 2010 Toyota Prius III today from Toyota. I needed a new car because my Toyota Camry finally died on me. So 14 years, and 235,000 miles later, my husband and I decided to go car shopping. We were trying to decided between the Honda Accord, or the Toyota Prius. I knew the reliability of the Honda Accord, and the fact the car is a work horse, but was unsure about what I would be getting into with the Prius. After doing lots of research, test driving both cars, and also looking at gas mileage (I drive about 50 miles a day for work), we decided to take the plunge and get the Prius. I am excited about this new adventure with this vehicle. Being a new owner, can anyone offer words of advice, or what to watch for with owning this type of car?? Thank you, Tori
Welcome aboard Tori! I would just say drive and get use to it for thw first couple of weeks. It is easy to over-think it.

Thanks Bisco!! I am excited about driving it and getting to know more about how this vehicle works. I hope to not have tons of questions, but if I do, I know I can come on here and ask away
What's nice about the Prius is that you get great fuel mileage without trying and as you go along, you learn how to gey even better fuel mileage. Gooble gobble, gooble gobble, we accept her, one of us, one of us!
