PRIME TRUNK SPACE

i've been waiting for this thread. it's interesting how most of the reviews gloss over this problem.
is it because there is no competition?

 

i like my back seat for a number of reasons. i may eventually wind up with a prime, but if i do, it will be because it's the lesser of all evils, not because it's the best of both worlds.

 

and that's how it should be i wish it was for me, because it's a heck of a car otherwise.

 

It's because square feet are more important than cubic feet.

In other words, open deck space is more useful than the few inches of volume near the glass.

 

i understand what you're saying, but disagree. the reviewers aren't putting anything back there, so they don't care. they figure that is something that doesn't need to be reviewed, because you can make your own comparison.
and also, because there is no competition.
i also disagree that square feet are more important than cubic feet. even though cubic feet aren't easy to compare, usable height width and depth are important, to me anyway.

 

It's been very uncommon for me to pile stuff up against the window anyway, for two reasons. First, it blocks my view out the back. Second, things tend to shift and fall and either break or break something else.

It's much more common for me to use every square inch of floor space.

 

that's why it's personal. i wish all the best to those who don't have a proem with it, and also to those who have to keep the setbacks folded down.

 

i load up my hatch often enough that it's a concern. i can 'make do' with anything, but i don't have to like it.
can you fit two sets of clubs in there?

 

Give me a 7 wood, a 9 iron, and a putter. That is all I need.

 

i think that's all that kim jong il uses. maybe not the 9 iron or the putter, since he gets 18 holes in one.

 

Am I reading this right? You put a spare tire in your prime? If so does it shift around much? How much does it impact your fuel economy? Any pics? And finally, where can you buy a spare?

 

I have owned a Prius of one type or another since 2005 and have never had to use the spare for anything. Some of you must be on really bad roads.

 

I've been driving for 30 years and I've never had to use a spare tire in any of my cars.
