    Continuing the tradition of this: Most Obscure Prius Facts (Way out there) - PriusChat Forums

    I hereby declare the Prius c Edition open!

    Here's my contribution.


    The centre console bin has a false floor. There's a small, oddly shaped area underneath it.

    Would this perhaps qualify as a secret storage compartment?

    Looked pretty small to me, I'm not sure what would fit in there.

    if you press and hold down the mode button while listening to music or podcast or usb files, the music will pause. also press and hold down the forward (^} it will fast forward. the down button skips back.....

    (probably not that obscure) the top of the armrest slides forward to make it more useable in forward seating positions.

    hold down the trip button when your odometer reading is showing.. do it while driving.

    you see a nice change. :)

    If you drop a coin underneath the seats or into the shift stick compartment you'll likely not be able to retrieve it.

    lol

    I had to ask the nice members here about this feature. Why would Toyota do this just to save cost on a damn plastic button and some wires.

    The hood of the Prius c is steel. Feels much heavier than aluminium hoods of the Prius and Prius v's

    Perhaps because a separate dedicated button for something that will likely only be used once for the vast majority of owners would be totally unnecessary and only add undue clutter? :D

    Agreed! I definitely don't need a button for something I will never ever change. Except once, because no one in this thread told me what would happen ;)

    Also, I feel silly but had no idea about the center console arm rest. I tried it once when I first got my car but I guess I didn't press the top forward hard enough apparently haha.

    Okay, I hope that this will win the most obscure comment...
    If you fold the 40% rear seat down you can perfectly fit a Plano 1531 single rifle case in the Prius C 3 as per my experiment today.

    That is actually good to know because I spend a lot of time at the shooting range too. I just haven't had a chance to try and fit any of the bigger items in the back yet.
