Try the owner's manuals. Yes, plural. The Prius rental I had that one time had like four of them. I spent a couple hours one evening reading the biggest of them. I found it simultaneously informative and depressing.

Yes I own a prius.
Did you buy it from a dealer, new/used, or pick it up at auction at a good price? How do you like driving it? If an electric, hybrid car can save me money on urban transportation, which I'm sure they can, I'd like to hear other's experiences with them.

I had one as a rental in Sandy Eggo for a week. I made a thread about it. Good gas mileage, but I wouldn't buy one. However, I did encounter one on Labor Day while I was out racking up the miles on my motorcycle. It must have had handling mods, since I followed him up an onramp leaning hard enough to be within a couple inches of scraping a peg (probably in the .8-.9 g range), and the Prius in front of me was cornering totally flat with no drama.
