    Color is important to me....I live in the desert southwest.
    MPG ....real important, I am not part of the 1%
    Seats? Less important. I went for cloth.
    Stereo...pretty important. I like Tom Waits
    Nav. BS....I like the feel and smell of an old map or atlas.

    Cargo room 10
    Big doors 9
    Emissions 8
    Quiet 5
    CVT style Transmission 3
    Reliability 4


    * I always crank it up to 11

    color.......5 we've got the blue one that my wife wanted.
    mpg........10 that's the main reason we bought the car (mpg's suffer in winter by about 5 mpgs)
    seats........ 9 had to get the fake leather because of dog hair
    stereo........6 I like my CD's ( Eagles ) I wish it were a 6 but the systems in this car is only a 3..... too much sound in front and can't get the back speakers adjusted for equal back to front sound.

    nav............3 Nav system in the V is bad. Who wants to stop a car to get new directions.

    MPG? 11
    seats? 10
    good stereo? 10
    NAV? 1, an actually believable unit;)10

    The only deal breaker in the choices would be MPG, as its already ugly, color won't help much, seats can be modified, digital music is a joke and the NAV is responsible for mundane

    color: 7 when buying new, though I usually have a couple acceptable choices.
    MPG: 10 for the Prius. For my truck, far less important.
    seats: 9 for my overall driving position, not just seat.
    good stereo: 4 AM/FM/ipod interface (full intergration preferred). IMO, it's a car, not a concert hall, so basic functionality is all that is needed.
    NAV: 0 That's one of the reasons I have a smart phone.

    How important is :

    color? 10
    Got to like the color

    MPG? 10
    Important or why buy a Prius

    seats? 10
    Very important when you get older or drive a lot

    good stereo? 8

    Nice to have makes the driving experience enjoyable

    NAV? 10

    Must have now a days for me. Accuracy is important. Integrated into the car a must. Aftermarket not an interest for me.
