Now in the process of fixing my 2006 IS350 which is a replacement for the Prius. Definitely going to miss the MPG on that thing since my commute is 35 miles to work one way.

35 miles isnt too bad, when I had to commute 60miles each way, I was averaging about 29mpg. No regrets though, Id rather commute in my 350 over pretty much anything else.

I agree it should be more fun, but I was averaging around 45-48 mpg on the Prius, compare that to the 23-26ish I'll be getting on the IS350 as I travel during rush hour traffic and it sucks so Prius was perfect for using that tiny electric motor 50% of the time. I'll definitely miss the Prius for that.

I ended up selling the NSX, and then buying the IS350. It was the perfect storm. In my NSX owner ship I put on about 30K miles. I drove it everywhere. Work said I was to be transferred to Florida, good deal, I'll just DD here down there. As the time of transfer came, they told me it was changed to Boston.

I didn't want to see her in a garage for 7 months out of the year. So i listed her and sold it before I moved. Miss that car to this day. I really do wish I would've bit the bullet and kept her garaged during my stay in New England. There are some of the most gorgeous roads in the states, and I didn't get to take the NSX on any of them.

Ended up selling the IS350 and buying a beater subaru and an RX330 and that was that. I will buy another NSX, but it's looking like I'll have to hit the lotto with how the price of them have just crossed into ridiculousness.

2003 Audi A4. Best days were the day I bought it and the day I sold it.
