@jextxadore compared to a modern smartphone, it's nothing. :P

And, sadly, it's a 2G device, which means it's a non-starter in the US since only one GSM operator is still using 2G (T-Mobile). So playing Snake is about all I could do. :P

@der_jeff education shouldn't be so difficult.

@der_jeff meanwhile, it's gotten ridiculous in 'Murica since I graduated. Worse: you can't discharge student loan debt in bankruptcy anymore, which means you're a debt slave if you can't pay your student loans off.

@matigo just wait until you see what it costs for college. O.o

@matigo trust me, I've already seen dozens of videos. :P

@jws I really do like the push-button start and the door locks are magic. However, I'm sure they are horribly insecure. :P

@jws I've mostly leave the EV / Eco / Power buttons alone.

I'm still trying to figure it out when it runs the engine versus just the battery at low speeds when the battery indicator or throttle doesn't make it obvious. Either way, I appreciate that the engine isn't running all the time on the rare occasions I am stuck in stop-and-stop traffic.

It seems the car gets better gas mileage than I was expecting on longer trips, not as good a gas mileage on shorter trips. May have something to do with the fact my local area is hilly and the engine has to run more.

I wish the entertainment system supported CarPlay. The iPhone integrates well enough with Entune, but I find it annoying that it regularly will play the alphabetically first item in my music collection…

@jws FWIW I own a Prius V. Happy to answer questions (though agree a "test drive" is a good thing).

Mimi is less of a lap cat and more of a "face" cat.

@kdfrawg I hate starting the day off high, though. It somewhat limits the rest of the day. ?
