We just got our Prius on Tuesday and already my wife and I've had two enthusiastic inquiries. On the way to the grocery store yesterday, a nice gentleman driving a white Lincoln spotted our white Prius pulling into the parking lot. He said, "I've just got to talk to you about your hybrid vehicle." He seemed knowledgeable about our car, but did not realize that the onboard computers controlled the mix of gas and electric power. He was very impressed by the vehicle's interior room and astounded by our gas mileage. Heck, we've only had the car for less than 200 miles and our display is currently showing 51.9 mpg. Sure, I know that this figure may be slightly different based upon our first few actual fill-ups at the gas pump, but he thought that the mileage was excellent, as do we!
It was exciting to meet someone that was both excited to see our car and happy to learn about the new technology. Needless to say my wife and I are pleased to serve as "Prius Ambassadors".
Man, this car is fantastic! After waiting 11.5 months, we could not be happier!
