A coupla things I'm not enamored with on my new Prius.

When I am trying to get out in traffic I use POWER button it is balls to the wall I think it moves damn fast otherwise I leave it in ECO trying to be green

 

The only reason that I take my Prius out of ECO mode is if I want the AC to blow colder air. ECO doesn't just remap the accelerator, it backs off the power drain from the AC compressor. Changing out of ECO to accelerate is unnecessary. If you stomp it, the car will accelerate just as well or better than most subcompacts. That traction motor has some torque.

The other complaints are valid and go with the trade offs. My OEM tires were really loud and now that I'm on my second set of tires, the new ones are orders of magnitude better.
