Two months ago, my new family bought me off the lot at Woburn Toyota. My Boston Toyota dealership was good to me and my owners liked their salesman there. Being a 2010 Toyota Prius, I was surprised I had been in stock more than a week at my dealership in Boston. Toyota had equipped me well and I was glad when my new family showed up and seemed so happy to buy me.

My owners are a young couple with two little boys. Considering the boys are so young, they’re very well behaved and haven’t spilled anything in me yet. They’ve also developed their parents’ taste for seafood at a young age. That’s why yesterday they drove me into Boston to go to a fun seafood restaurant in Boston Harbor.

On the way in, I got 50mpg! My family always plays this game when they drive me, where they try to see how little gas they can use getting from once place to another. It’s a lot of fun and I get to show off how efficient I am. When we got to The Barking Crab in Boston, my owners parked me and my family got out. It was a nice evening  and a lot of people were walking near the harbor. I got lots of looks and comments since I’m a particularly well equipped Toyota Prius.

When the family came out I noticed the boys had butter all over their faces from eating lobster! I was so worried that would be the first time I got food on my seats, but luckily my owners wiped their faces right before they got in. Hopefully we go back soon. I’m a big fan of Boston. Toyota made me so nice to drive that my family has only had me two months and have already driven me far enough for my first oil change. They said they’d bring me back to Woburn Toyota next weekend for my first oil change. That should be fun.

Consumer Reports has ranked the 2010 Toyota Prius Boston as the #1 Green Car in America!

Says Consumer Reports, “The Prius received a redesign for 2010. It’s still the most fuel-efficient car in our Ratings, getting 44 mpg overall. That distinction helped it earn our pick in this category for the seventh straight year, the longest of any current model. In addition, the Prius is a pleasant car to drive, with a roomy interior, a steady ride, hatchback versatility, and excellent reliability and crash-test results. The 2010 redesign also gave it a more solid feel and a dedicated EV mode that allows it to run longer on electric power at low speeds, an advantage mainly in slow, congested traffic. Price: $23,150-$26,950.”

Maybe you have seen me around town, a silver 2010 Toyota Prius? I am a boston toyota, but am here at Woburn Toyota to get my anti-lock brake system repaired. I’ve heard I am under a recall and owners have been having a problem with the braking system. I haven’t noticed any of these issues personally, but it is better to be safe than sorry. That is why Shirley and Roy, my owners, have brought me in to be checked out.

Once dropped off a nice young gentleman pulled me into a very large building full of, what looked like, cubicles. I was quickly parked and saw a gentle technician, named Bob. He put a nice mat down over my carpet to protect me from dirt. I found this so thoughtful. Then he wore gloves and gave me a thorough check. After testing my brake system he swapped out a part, made some adjustments and I was all set to go! I saw him speaking to Roy and explaining some things. He said this toyota was going to be just fine..

He backed me out of the garage into a parking spot. He shook Roy’s hand gave a nod to Shirley and handed them my keys. It was so quick and easy! We were back on the road in no time and my owners smiled the whole way home. I was so glad I was all taken care of and my owners didn’t need to worry. I had always been a very reliable car and knew I would continue to be one for a very long time!
