Something you wish your Prius had

I wish mine had adaptive cruise control, and someone already said it, but cruise control that would keep the car in "ECO". Also, longer EV range, like a Leaf. Or better yet, like a Volt. Can you imagine what Toyota could do if they used the Prius as a base for a drive system like the Volt?

 

How about a Tesla battery and a Lambo engine? Because more is always better, right?

 

Why not go straight James Bond? Lets get rockets and have a sub and fly. No oils slicks though. That might detract from our "Environmentally conscious" image!

 

Decent horn!

Edit: Yesterday The ChuggyPig's wish came true! I added a Wolo BadBoy

(skip to 1:30) on a separate switch (so the OEM "meep meep" is still operational, thus no State Laws violated in modifying any OEM safety equipment)

 

so is that bad boy really loud?

 

Any of you folks know of an aftermarket sound-projection system to r place the horn with user-selectable pre-recorded sound bites? Just seems like we need different music or audio messages projected to express different emotions in different driving situations.

 

Take care what you wish for:

My 226,000 mile Gen 2 has aftermarket blue tooth ..standard head lights and cloth seats . I did an aftermarket wheel skins wrap of the steering wheel and that helped considerably . Wish list : Clazzio Leather Seat Covers.. maybe Android head unit ..I hate Entune

Wifes Advanced has three of my favorite features : not cloth seats, adaptive cruise control and led head lights .

I would like to see the panoramic glass roof like the model 3 or the solar roof on a plug in . Also love the mini camera instead of mirrors I saw on the NS4 driver and pass doors .. and of course looking forward to hell freezing over and getting Android Auto as a factory feature in a Toyota .

Am not interested in self driving , all electric cars or the new wave of infotainment units that promise 'everything' then they turn out to have more programming locking out features while in gear for liability than actual new features . All the mfg except tesla seem to think you want to buy map updates every other year as an added bonus to your overpriced clunky infotainment nav auto computer .

Headlights that’s completely sealed so moisture can stay out for life of car.

 

…the link seems to work OK for me! (??)

 

That it was more like a Honda hybrid which will still function like a regular gas burning car if the High Voltage battery goes to crap. I'd also like to have seen another overhead light in the rear of the vehicle. The Prius C only has interior lighting right at the driver/passenger seats. The remainder of the vehicle is pitch black at night and it's impossible to see anything.

 

I'd like to have a windshield that doesn't chip or crack! Stay away from falling leaves.... even they can do damage.

 

Use cooking oil.

 

I had to rent a car when my Prius was getting new brakes put on ($750 later) and they gave me a 2018 Mazda 3. My car has no less power or torque (though it feels like it's weaker because of the continuous acceleration) but it definitely HANDLED better. I'm sure the weight of the Prius probably contributes to it but I really wish when I was turning a corner on a curvy mountain road, it didn't feel like it was going to keep pulling to the outside of the road.

-AC in the back
-better screen option layout (though they're better than the Gen 2) and sun visor for it.
-oil life readout

 

I would have given up 2mpg for better seats...instead I bought an Avalon.

 

I agree 100%. I am acually looking into some type of led solution

 

I put some double sided sticky tape on a puck light that cost me a whopping $1.00. Works like a charm.
