    Major, yes. It's a 6.1' Display Audio unit with navigation and Entune, bluetooth streaming audio, advanced voice recognition vehicle information with customisable settings, HD radio with iTunes tagging. It also comes with SKS, colour-keyed mirrors w/ integrated turn signals and Touch Tracer

    Yes, thank you :)

    Quick question, does the package three offer any other hubcap choices?

    Great pics! What are your impressions of ride comfort? I remember initial reviews that said the seats were super comfortable. How was road noise, going over potholes, etc?

    drives well. pretty comfortable. I'm only 5'7". There is enough room for someone over 6 foot but then there would probably be no room for the person in the back. Road noise is less than i thought it would be. and no tests going over potholes.. gonna try to avoid those things.... lol

    ya it made me get the III. one thing im sad about is mine did not have a moonroof. Not a big deal since I wouldnt use it much but it does make the interior of the car look nicer.

    Dry Ridge Toyota got a two and three in, and I got to take it for a short test drive as the dealership was closing, I think the ride and all was just fine, it was a quick turn out of the parking lot and interstate for 3 miles got off and got back on and returned to dealership, the speedo was in KPH and none there knew how to put it in MPH. anyone know? did not see it in the combination meter setup, and the manual told nothing. but the combination was reporting in MPH, and I got 38 MPG on my 6 miles summary mostly. was a little disappointed... I had to have done something wrong... Want to retry again and another dealership is gonna let me take it out for a real drive in a color I will like. This was Habanero in Dry Ridge, under florescent lighting, It wasn't a color me or the sales person liked. it was vibrant but also dreamsicle colored. haha

    Any chance you could delete the photos from your quote so that all the images don't appear twice (unnecessarily consumes space and requires some serious scrolling to get past it). :) Thanks in advance.

    I the price difference of $1700+ between the II and the III makes it worthwhile instead to get the Prius c-III instead of the II?

    Any advice:

    I will take the III if you need the Nav. the different between II and III is the Nav, the smart key and push button start.

    the 15 inch alloy wheel is $390 only for III. I will take this one too if I take the III. so the different is about $2000 between II and III.

    sunroof is $850

    How about the "quick steering"? is that another option?

    congratulations!

    Black looks very nice on that car. I also like the look of the GPS screen and the driver's seat.

    I think that is for IV, but only for 16inch wheel update. if you don't take 16inch wheel, it will be the same as III.

    Separating entertainment from utility, does the 6.1" LCD display add any utility features other than GPS? For example, does it display any hybrid performance data?

    I haven't sat in a production version of the c yet but if the DA is the same as the others, it's under the "CAR" menu. It'll show the Energy Monitor and Cons. Screen that we're all familiar with.
