I’ve had my Prius for 10 days/650 miles and overall I’m pretty happy with it. Here is my quick rundown:
Cool
- Bluetooth integration is really handy when I want to accept calls and it is nice the audio system mutes automatically
- Displaying your speed in a manner where you don’t really have to much your eyes much
- Rear-view camera when backing up helps compensate for the smallish rear window
- Good passenger headroom – one of my really tall co-workers was able to fit fine
- Proximity locks and ignition mean I never have to take my keys out of my pocket
- I’ve been averaging 44.x MPG in combined highway/city driving
Wish it were different
- Having to use the AUX audio input or an FM transmitter for the iPod
- The main display screen can get washed out when in very bright sunlight
- Beeping inside the car when backing up (I know this can be changed with a ‘hack’)
Still getting used to
- The lack of almost any noise when the car is stopped or moving slowly. Makes it very easy to forget the car is still on.
