I'm reposting something
I wrote this morning on PriusChat, arguably
the preminant Prius website. It's a detailed essay on my initial impressions of
my new 2010 Prius.
Since it was initially posted on PriusChat, it referrs to
capricious_k as "my girlfriend" and
miss_emelia as "my friend."
I've had my III w/ nav for a few days, and I'd like to share my initial impressions. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this car!
( Most of the review is behind this cut. )Boy am I happy with this car! My last car was a 1995 Honda Civic which I purchased brand new and drove for more than a decade. Unless all of us early adopters discover something horribly wrong with the Gen3 Prius, I expect I'll keep this car for many, many years. By the time I'm done with this car, I hope the next generation of eco-friendly cars (plug-ins, fuel cells, cold fusion, whatever) are into their 2nd or 3rd generation and I'll move on to that happy and guilt-free.
