Description: Brand new, 78km when I got it. Will be used as the family vehicle when it's the wife and I, and my daily commute for work (90km/day). On the commute I will try a lot of EOC and HWY P&G.

One very nice feature is that once it's started if I turn it off with the key the Elec power steering stays working which is nice for EOC.

Retired with 28000 or so KM, traded it in on a brand new Prius Plus for my wife.
