Only 3 Prius's in 6 years?
Welcome. I'm outside of Boston.

I had 2 other BMW before 328 and M3 but I was driving a lot so getting a Prius made sense. Now I'm never leaving again lol

I've driven rental Prius's. They are good cars outside of lackluster performance.
I'm in Northboro.

Years ago, I was trying to merge onto a freeway uphill in a Prius with four passengers. I thought for sure we were all going to die. Worse acceleration than my 1980 Rabbit diesel.

If, over 6 years, you had three views of a Prius, were you suffering from a Prius prism?

So basically what you are saying is that in the last 7 years you went from heavy steering, to lighter steering, to REALLY light steering. :-P

I'm in RI so if you ever want to check out some twisty B roads hit me up. I've had my car since March 16' and can't bring myself to mod it. It's just such a well balanced car that I'm hesitant to change anything.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that we need pics of the Prius.
