Low Roof line on the Gen 5 Prius

No it doesn’t. Only comes on the Limited. With XLE you can easily slide seat back with power seat knob.

 

That's the bigger pedal on the right.
I have an inversion table to mitigate a lifetime of injuries but still can play pickleball 2.5 hours a day.
I back into mine, butt first to the seat which is all the way back already then rotate my torso 90 degrees and good. It makes me do this and I can still rub my head on the upper door sill but I have learned how to stop that. I just drove 450 miles to a small auction to pick up some nice pieces for a great price. 8 hours in the drivers seat and got out feeling fine great success at the auction.
The screaming seat belt warning is annoying, so I just buckle up sooner.

Basically 491.3 miles on 9.108 gallons, for a total of $24.04 with blistering performance from my perspective is a fair compromise and I can learn to adapt to the negative aspects until I can't, when I might quit driving altogether.

My 67 383 Formula S Barracuda, would beat this Prius at 10 MPG.

I have driven for fuel economy since 45 MPG in a 84 CRX I bought new in Houston TX, serial number 1018 with no AC, Now that's a compromise, but I drove it 180 miles while it was snowing 10 inches and passed a Virginia State Trooper who was going 35 MPH and the front wheel wells were so iced up at the rest stop near Fredericksburg I could barely turn the wheel to get off the rest area exit, or risk breaking the plastic front fenders. That was 40 years ago.

Mendel Lisk kindly let me know I misspelled my handle which was a Kristofferson song that I could sing today from memory. The misspelling was unintentional, but putting a hyphen between the two words would be just as bad. I got lazy and spelled it phonetically so it can stay that way, but appreciate the help Mendel.

It may take me another 5 years to figure this car out but, like the song, I will remember it for the rest of my days on earth.
Sorry for the rambling thought train.
