Out With The Gen 2 -- Ordered A New 2010 Prius

[Aimhigh]

Well, I made the change and ordered a new 2010 Prius in Tyrol Silver with Leather seating. Delivery within 3 weeks.

I ordered the basic car but might add flaps and I am considering side mouldings but would want them painted, which I have discovered would cost more than the price of the accessory itself...Hmm.

I will check the sat nav version is the latest and ask the dealer to set the reversing beep to single (if this can be done in the UK).

I have really enjoyed my Gen 2 Prius and I am looking forward to even better economy with the new car.

My Gen 2 is part of the deal, but I do have a couple of really great 'as new' accessories for the Gen 2 'for sale' so if anyone is interested, please PM me and I will let you know what I have.

That's a short wait

Not unusual. Seems that painting bits of plastic is expensive.

Reverse beep can be reduced to 1 in UK (have it on mine).

In theory, you can reduce the rear seat belt warning beeps too but my dealer wouldn't do that.

In practice, it hasn't been a problem.
