weaktwosThe drive: So far, I'm loving it. It's very smooth, comfortable, and quiet.
The interface:This is different. I can't get over the fact that my display is digital, and most of my features are all via a touchpad screen. I feel so futuristic. Also, the keyless entry bit is fun.
The fuel economy So far, over 46 miles, I'm averaging 42 mpg. Despite being a gallon of gas down, therefore, my fuel gauge hasn't budged. Either that attests to the fuel economy, or I had a busted fuel gauge from the get-go.
The navigation system: It sure is perty! Right now, I have trust issues with it's accuracy. It keeps trying to send me on the freeway for locations that don't require it. I will have to enlist![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
taogrl's assistance, and we'll have a driving adventure where we follow the navigation system's directions and see where we end up. I'm sure a camera will be involved.

This car is a man-magnet, too. They all want a ride in my Prius.

We'll probably be driving it west to the wedding, so you can see it in person!
