I'm looking for a gen III Prius for the wife, although she gets 30 mpg in the 6-speed TSX. She might be going to OHSU next year, and PDX traffic is ridiculous. If I often battled Portland traffic, I would quickly grow tired of the 6-speed. My plan is to wait until the Gen IV is released and then see what happens to Gen III prices. I'd prefer to get a 2012 model since it came standard with bluetooth, among other things.
End of this month, it will be indoors! Followed by a week in Hawaii until returning to reality.

I really like our Gen II but obviously a Gen III is better looking and the tech is superior. For us it just came down to what we could afford. When I saw this one for $7k and it has a clean title, 114k, 1 owner and maintenance records I jumped on it. Had been looking for a Scion Xa before.
