    I love everything about my Five except losing the 3-5 mpg from the 1-4's. Wheels make a car IMO and the Prius is no exception.

    As has been pointed out, there is NO WAY you could add the Five's upgrades to a Four via the aftermarket for anything close to the same cost. Enjoy your Five! :)

    Yep. Might as well make that $5k jump (though it is still $5k which is a lot of money).


    That would be the DRCC you experienced, not PCS. Pray you never have to experience PCS-Braking (where the car brakes for you because of an impending and possibly unavoidable collision). But you may experience PCS-Seatbelts some time during the ownership of your vehicle (I've already experienced it 3 times unintentionally; i.e. I wasn't braking on my own to test out the system). Lemme tell you, it's very quick to react. By the time you realise that PCS seatbelts were in action, they're already releasing the tension on the seatbelt.
