Yes, I put quite a few miles on the car and would like to keep her. This car ticks all my boxes and am quite satisfied. I've run an exhaust for just about the length of ownership and recently had her flashed with EPL software. Awesome machine and the new found power is super great also. I now drive a 33 mpg, non Prius btw, commuter the 300 miles a week to work. When the need arises, out comes the Turbo.

Yeah that interior gets an e for effort, but wow it looks awful. Perhaps reversing the colors would have been good.

Rotes go to Porsche of Tyson's Corner. Or just look it up on cars.com, I think it's on there.

That is freakin horrible... I'm sorry but Blue does not go with any shade of brown. Unless your Deion Sanders and you do it anyway..

I drive a 2010 Prius II for my company car and must say it is an excellent car. Drives well and handles sharp. It always gets over 40MPG no matter how hard I seem to drive it too.

Well no that's flat wrong imo. Take a look at some of the Riveria / Mexico 997's on the forum. Hell any shade of blue looks great with beige... or really any shade of brown except for the darkest.

I agree, blue with tan/biege interior looks perfect. but I think the 1970s shade of brown / tan combo on that car in particular doesn't work period, regardless of exterior color. In any case it's all about an individual's personal taste, well until it comes time for resale
