So it's three years later - do you still love it? How has the mileage been for you?

It's red. I would never have chosen a red car or a coupe... but my mom and dad needed to go from two cars to one at about the same time as my previous car (also a Saturn) was approaching really high mileage. I love the back doors that open from the center (my dad and I call those the 007 doors because they remind us of something from a James Bond movie). It's good with gas. I know three things about my next car: it won't be a Saturn , it will probably be a sedan and it will have 4 doors. I had the teal green Saturn when that was their most popular color; then I had light blue when that was their best selling color!


This isn't mine, it's a media photo.

My brother has a Ford Fusion that he really likes. It has a great sound system and got good safety ratings. It just feels stable when I drive it.

Hmmm, I chose both green and blue because my car is Teal. It's a Scion xB, which is becoming popular. I was tired on the basic colors including RED. It is different.

This is mine at the dealer.



These are the same model in better light.

I wanted a white "pearly" car. It's more white than pearly. I've pretty much wished for another color since I've had it but I'm thankful I have it.

I couldn't stand white as a color. The dirt showed so easily. And red fades.

My truck is dark gray. I too have noticed there are a lot of silver cars around, even in the parking lot at work!

My Hyundai Elantra is white. There's also a silver corolla, silver honda insight, and a taupe Lincoln LS on the driveway. My sister has a maroon saturn. I don't really like silver cars, I feel they are a bit too common for my liking. I wanted a dark blue color, but I don't like how mud shows so easily on that color either.

Maybe I'm weird but I think white hides alot of the dirt. My friends always think my car is clean on the outside. Someone asked me the other day if I wash it everyday, which I DON'T lol.

I plan on hopefully buying a truck (Ranger or Bronco) in the next few years and want red, dark grey, forest green, or black one.

My Ford Escape is Silver/Gray with Black Bottom Trim.. It does not show dirt like the other colors do..

Mine is black.

My Jetta is silver. I wanted white but it was a choice between silver or charcoal grey. Bruce wanted me to get the charcoal, but silver was closer to white. My first car was a light blue and the next two cars were white. Then the car before the Jetta was dark green. Hated how the dirt showed up on the green. I love green though.

Bruce's Yukon is a champagne color. He calls it silver but it's more tan. He also had a dark green Yukon and Honda Accord when I first met him. Oh, and a silver turbo Porsche and a red convertible Porsche. Now we are just down to the two cars and a boat (green and cream) in the garage. Oops, can't forget the motorcycle.......it's a white iridescent color. Kinda looks like a CHP bike.

But I see sooo many silver cars here too. In fact, today I was almost hit by a silver Lexus SUV. After I screamed and honked the horn I said if they had hit me at least the color matched.

Oh my gosh YES I really enjoy this car! Still love my Carmine, lol. And Psst! It's only 2 and a half years, ha ha haaa. That half year is important to youngsters you know?

The mileage is pretty consistent at 48.2. It has a button you can reset at each refill OR if you never touch it, it shows the mileage for the life of the car. Lucky for me, I had read about this on the Prius Chat forum during that LONG wait for the car to arrive, so I have NEVER reset the button. It has varied from time to time, but mostly is at 48.2. Not bad!

Way back when, my very first service, I took it in to the Dealer. They tried to charge me for a gear adjustment - the Prius doesn't HAVE gears! (Again, I knew this from the Forum). There was something else, I forget now. I was fuming, even though I had read this was quite common w/ the dealers, to over charge, charge for stuff not done, or that wasn't needed at that time. The local garage up the street, meanwhile, had sent 2 of its 3 mechanics to the training for the Prius, so now I just go there.

No matter what type of car you have, I highly recommend the Forum for YOUR make, model and year. It is amazing the things the "Car Guys" and Gals learn and pass on!

My Passat is white! I would have never chose a white car, but at the time we got a deal on it! I it, no matter what color it is lol
