    I know Prius I's are fleet vehicles. Other than that, how are they different than II's? Do they still have the manufacturer's warranty? This might have been discussed here or elsewhere, but I am having a hard time finding info. Thanks in advance for the info.

    Yes, you would still get full warranty. There is an older thread that covers the missing options on the I. I think SKS is missing, power windows or was it auto windows, heated side mirrors, wiper delay, etc.

    Found the thread and a helpful link within it. Not a good deal IMO.

    "As compared to the Prius II, the Prius I does not have the following features:
    • Cruise control
    • Touch Tracer Display
    • Smart Key
    • EV mode
    • Rear wiper
    • Tonneau cover
    • Heated side mirrors
    • Satellite radio antenna and satellite capable radio
    • Rear armrest with 2 cupholders
    • 2 speakers
    • Rear heater duct
    • Passenger seatback pocket
    • Foldable rear headrests
    • Underbody spoilers/spats"

    The Prius Two has heated side mirrors? How do you turn them on?

    If it has them, I cannot confirm that it does, but when you turn on the rear defroster it turns on the heated mirrors.

    When you turn on the rear defrost button it also turns on the heated mirrors.

    According to that article, the Prius I does NOT have heated mirrors. That list details all that it does not have.

    Probably referring to the ducts under the front seats (blowing towards the rear).
