Something you wish your Prius had

We've only had ours a week, but the one thing I wish we had was seat memory so that both the wife and don't have to manually adjust when switching. First world problems, of course.

 

I wish my prius had better paint only few months old and already has chips

 

quality interior materials and build

 

Same features the Toyota Japan Models have except RHD; sick and tired of being "spoon-fed" the "cool stuff"!

Both driver & passenger have same seat controls especially lowering the seat.

Extra USB

Adjustable EV limit with Hybrid Battery Option (LI-ON or LI-PO) capacity.

 

a Northstar motor.

 

In my best Jeremy Clarkson voice, "POWERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!"

SPH-D710 ? 2

 

You mean besides the button

 

Already been said, I would like tire pressure readout on the dash. A cheapo Chevy rental had it, can't cost that much. Know your market Toyota. Prius owners pay close attention to tire pressure.

 

Larger sun visors.

 

What's RHD?

If Toyota accedes to the battery options you suggest and you refueled with Exxon gasoline, you could be driving with a "Tiger in your tank" and a "Lion in your battery"! (Sorry!)

 

Overall this has been an excellent car, but you asked.

---Mechanically---
Battery that charges in neutral...ie car wash, ect.
"Isolated/independant" Battery temp control.
Full size spare tire/wheel assy.

---Creature Comforts---
Better seats...lots better.
Extendable front sun visors to close gap around rear view mirror.
Independant side window sun visors like on VW Beetle.
Rear HVAC vents...not just under the front seats.
Front cup holder with slot for Coffee cup handle.

 

Did nobody mention rear visibility?

 

I have my 2013 Prius exactly 1 week today. I was happy with the car, until I read this thread. )

 

No, no one cares about that sir, not even toyota!

 

Or refuel with "frosted flakes" instead of exxon because "they're great!"

RHD = Robert Holt's Drive ;-D Jk

 

A RPM gauge.

 

I am hopelessly wishing my Prius has ventilating front seats instead of heating, which I never ever used

 

Pardon my ignorance, but would you mean some kind of open-weave cloth for the seats or something else? Air ducts in the seats??

 

For many years now Lexus has ventilated front seats in their cars. I think today most if not all Lexus comes standard with this feature.

It's not anything fancy. Just several low noise, low wattage fans installed beneath the seats and on the back of back-rests. There are several holes in the foam cushions and air will travel through the perforated leather to get to you. This doesn't cool you down, but it does help in long drives to reduce sweat. Additionally, if the Prius does get A/C opennings on the bottom of the front seats for rear passengers, air you feel will be fresh and cooled

 

Thanks! Obviously I don't get out much, at least with Lexus people!
I DO have some surplus 12 volt muffin fans that could maybe be inserted under the mesh lumbar support thingy I use to circulate air around my back. Wonder if that would work. Would be nice for summer driving around here especially if I were not using the AC. Hmmmm.
