After driving your cars awhile are you happy with the pkg. you selected, or would you change up/down if doing it again???????????
I would definitely do a PKG # 8, would love to have the leather! That's the only thing I regret. Maybe next year?
I would absolutely get a package #3. I bought mine off the lot, and without lots of attention (duh!), I failed to confirm that it had side airbags. I asked, and was told that it did have them, but I wasn't familiar with the different packages. I so wish I had found this site before buying my baby, but the only thing I would change is the side airbags. Peace -- Marjorie.
I'm fine with my package #1. But I still want a gray interior. Next time (hopefully 2009 model) I'd like a dark blue exterior, gray interior and I may move up to another package. Maybe something with the smartkey. I don't need a 6 cd changer or nav and after reading about the vandalism I'm not sure I want HID headlights. The smartkey might be nice. But whatever the package it would still have to have the side impact airbags. And the car would still have to have a hatchback. No hatchback...I'll keep what I have. If there is not dark blue...I'm still willing to wait. The next Prius may be my last new car as I'll be retiring in 2012. So I'll wait for a dark blue hatchback with a gray interior and see what the packages are then.
i would have gotten the nav package, package #6(bc), but i couldn't afford it and don't really need nav. plus i really didn't want the upgraded jbl stereo.
i got package 3 (the lowest offerd round here) and have no complaints i dont need any of that other stuff. i have a tom tom if i need a nav.
I love my 05 package 3. I love the smart key feature, just walk to the car reach for the door and drive. I love the safety feature too, especially the side curtain airbags. No I don't need NAV or JBL stereo thank you. I wish it had an IPOD docking intergrated into the factory radio. --Hilore
No, I'll keep my package, Thank You! It serves me quite well, and my wife has no complaints. P.S. We are talking about Prii, aren't we? :huh:
I have a pkg 7 that had leather added at port. I wanted an 8 due to leather steering wheel. I have not had time to put on wheelskin yet. I wish I had gotten an 8 but was told nearly impossible to get in SE.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tideland Prius @ May 29 2006, 11:44 AM) [snapback]262388[/snapback]</div> Same here. I have a package B, but would love to get a package C.
No complaints about my '04's #9 (BC) package. I'd trade years though for a #7 '06 so as I could get the MP3 player and tire pressure warning system (had a low tire last week that only fidgity handling alerted me to - had a nail in it ). The revised suspension would be a plus as well. All in all, I'm pretty happy with mine. By '09, I'll probably be ready for a new one as I've already got 58k miles on my '04.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(B Rad @ May 29 2006, 09:23 AM) [snapback]262362[/snapback]</div> Given the choices, yes I am happy with my package 1. Would have preferred ability to purchase VSC without the other stuff (SKS, etc.) which is not important to me.
Have o6 Metallic Grey with package 7, and I had them throw in leather seats with the deal. I know now that I could not go for any lesser package now that I'm spoiled with all its ammenties. I would have liked to get the carbon fiber dash though, as I saw one come from the port with it equipped already, not sure how they did that.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(B Rad @ May 29 2006, 11:23 AM) [snapback]262362[/snapback]</div> I have package 5. I don't think I'd change the package
I have a black package #7, and would get the same again. I'm not a big fan of leather, but I like all of the other options, including the Nav system. Tom
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(B Rad @ May 29 2006, 12:23 PM) [snapback]262362[/snapback]</div> Very happy with my Package 3. Has what I wanted. Don't need the NAV, Bluetooth Technology, etc. We would not change.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(jclay1965 @ May 29 2006, 12:27 PM) [snapback]262366[/snapback]</div> I'm getting my seats upgraded to leather - dropping it off tomorrow night, picking it up Thursday. I bought my car 'off the lot' and wanted anything from a package 3 to a package 6 - got a 2006 pkg 5 for around $1200 below MSRP, and less than a pkg 3 at another dealer. At first I was disappointed not to get the fog lamps in a #6, but since then I've heard they're a 'thief magnet', so I'm glad I got the #5 - it's nice to have the 6-cd changer, the bluetooth phone thingy (altho I won't get the phone until August when I can qualify for a cheap/free 'upgrade'), and especially the skid control feature.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(B Rad @ May 29 2006, 11:23 AM) [snapback]262362[/snapback]</div> I have Package 1, but would buy Package 3 if I was going out tomorrow and buying a second Prius. Gary
