Default New 07 Prius Owner

Hello everybody,

Just want to drop a line and say hi to you all. I just bought a 2007 Toyota Prius with Package #3 in silver. The car got my attention after my sister bought one 3 years ago then recently on TV with the 0% APR offer.

After several days and 500miles of driving I really like the car. The ride and comfy and the technologies in the car are easy to use. The only thing I don't like is the seat, it would've been better if it has lumber support... But in either case, I am loving this car... so far 42.8MPG with 65% highway driving...

Hope to learn some driving techquie to up my MPG more.

One of the best is to start recording your mileage in the database. This gives you history to figure out your best answers. We've also got a FAQ and of course there are numerous Prius FAQ and driving advice around the net. Regardless, enjoy the new car!.

As for the seats, I don't like them either and am planning to replace them with powered seats from a salvage yard. This will take a little bit of work but in the end, having a fully powered, comfy seat makes it a lot more fun and will make my wife much happier.

GOOD LUCK!

Just click on the 'compare' tab and under your username is "Manage my cars." It is mostly point-and-click.
