Which package did you order, or do you own? I know it changes from year to year, but this isn't a scientific poll anyway.
We got the NAV in our Sienna and I was hooked! I also drive the Prius if I travel for work and it's really handy to have the voice guidance. I love the smart key system, too! B)
Mine is a Pkg #2. I would've preferred to have the side-impact air bags that Pkg #3 and above offers though. I took one look at the Driftwood and since the timing was right for a full $3,150.00 tax break, as I bought Jan 14th, I took it. I was fairly low on the list and figured by the time another fell down the list I might miss out on the full tax break. Not sorry that I waited at all. Extremely happy with it!
I added Package 9 to remain consistant with my signature. And because I'm in the editting mood, Tempus, I hooked you up!
2005 #1. I really didn't need anything fancy and I don't regret it. But I'll probably buy the top package when the redesigned Prius comes out in 2008 or 2009. I'll also be sure to get a gray interior this time. I just hope by that time we'll be able to get a really deep, dark blue like they can in Japan. If not.....might wait a little more. I usually buy a car every ten years, but for the new Prius I might make an exception. This will be my retirement car...the last car I'll buy and pay off before I retire. And who knows? It might be the last car I ever own.
Gotta have the rear camera in 2006. I use it more than I thought I would. Rainy days make the lower rear window useless and the view is affected by glare reflected by all the rain drops that collect on it. Parallel parking is SO much easier by viewing the rear camera. I can back up withing 3" of what is behind me by using the camera. Smart key is great but I could live without it. I'm open to safety options like the camera, side curtain, and VSC. So packages below 4 are my practical choice for 2006.
I was ready and willing to buy package #4 (for the VSC), but it wasn't offered in my area, so I went with #3 instead. I'm very happy with the features. I picked black (it had it's first car wash today -- one of many, I'm sure.) I too would love a darker, rich blue (or a cobalt blue) in a future model.
I wanted a #3 or #4 in Barcelona Red Metallic, but they couldn't find one anywhere in my area...so they gave me a really good deal on a #6. I pick her up tomorrow (but since we're having a bit of a snow storm today, I might wait until Tuesday, depending on what the roads are like tomorrow).
I have 1 '04 package 9... they don't have nine anymore.. it only goes to 6 right? i wouldn't mind two, if i didn't have to pay for the second one
I got a #8. This is my first new car ever, and I figured I might as well go for the fully loaded one at that. No regrets! I love this car!
