    As there was SO much traffic one my way home, it gave me time to ponder.....

    What I wish my Prius had but doesn't:

    Memory Seating with Memory Recall for both side mirrors. Every time I wash my car, the mirrors get adjusted
    Rear A/C Vents

    In the C: More padding | sound deadening material & Cruise Control

    Feel free to add to the post...

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    A lower price. Besides that, I'd like LED turn signal mirrors (though I believe they are available online.)

    I would go for the LED turn signal mirrors too (Like the Prius C). Also return of the Sandy Beach Metallic color.

    I don't know what is so difficult about turn signal indicators/mirrors; Toyota equips Pri with them in a lot of other countries as standard equipment.

    I'd like a built in computer connected to the obdm. Providing the driver with a computer generated report to maximize driving efficiency. Pulse and glide real time graph of ideal vs actual. I also wish cruise control had an Eco mode.

    Our last Civic Hybrid had a cool feature, which I miss:

    If you had the wipers set on fastest intermittent, they were intermittent when the car was at a stop, but switched to low speed steady motion when you got underway, then went back to intermittent at the next stop.

    Passenger seat, 3 in the back seat, maybe a few in the hatchback too! More is better!

    Heated cloth seats. More comfortable driver seat.

    A number of things I know I can fix. Leather steering wheel. Louder horn. Better speakers.

    A nav interface that just mirrored my phone..... Not that anyone has that, but just having a big phone screen would be great.

    Rear A/C vents and cup holders in the back when there are 3 people in the back seat.
    Instead of one "Mode" button to control where the air comes out, a seperate button for each or have the mode button on the steering wheel be for the air control instead of the radio.

    A way to put the car in neutral without the power being on to avoid draining the traction battery when in neautral.

    Even a small thumbs up from Car and Driver like, hey, this thing likes curves more, feels good to be in and has become more fun to drive.

    With all the traffic around here and hustle just to get to work, hypermiling, pulse and glide and all for a couple more MPGs is the furthest thing from my mind. Sounds like that takes a lot more mental effort and I wonder if it's safe to do all that hypermiling.

    Numerical tire pressure readout instead of low pressure warning "idiot light."
