Alright, so I decided to buy about 4 weeks ago and made about 25 phone calls to different dealerships around the country. I found 1 that told me they just delivered their last Prius and didn't have anyone on list, so I gave deposit. That was end of May. I preferenced my color, package, and today I was notified that the Prius is "on the truck" to the dealership.
So now I'm preparing for pickup. The dealership is 1000 miles away. After calculating cost to have delivered versus flying and driving back, I'll save abou $400 picking up myself over the weekend.
So . . . my question is whether it would be good or bad for the car to drive it 1000 miles home. I've read what the manual says for break-in period about not taking it over 60mph, no quick stops or starts. But assuming, I follow those rules, my question is: does driving the car 1000 miles straight at 60 mph constitute "hard driving" that should be avoided during break-in period?
Your expertise is appreciated. Thanks.
