I've had my GII for a month today. I'll echo the earlier comments about the lack of storage space. A coin holder and pockets on the doors would be a good start. The other thing is the cup holder situation. Coming from a Sienna, the Prius just doesn't have enough places to park drinks.

I would replace the interior materials with decent ones that actually do not rattle or squeak at the expense of 2-3 MPG. How about that?

More solid interior that not rattles. (Biggest mistake that toyota made with this vehicle)
Remove the heating function on the steering wheel and replace it with the ev/eco/pwr buttons.
Keyless backdoors so you don't have to touch the front doorhandle first.

I would add memory buttons for seat and mirrors - I guess I would also add electric seat adjustments in order for the memory buttons to work.

I would change my dealership experience. Buying a Prius (or any car for that matter) should be simple and dealers more forthcoming.

I'd like 400-500 hp with 50 miles or more per gallon of gasoline.

How about you? If you could change just one thing, what would it be?

I would change how the heated seat button is practicaly on the floor. I think it should be up by the three different power modes.

And with the split window. That can't be change because of the reason of aerodynamics. If they got rid of that then fuel economy would go down. But me personally I just use the outside mirriors. Comming from me I also owned the gen II prius so I'm. Used to it. But we also have a truck with a long bed so backing thatoutyou can't see till your practically out of the parking spot.

I reccomend if you can't see out of the mirriors and you don't have a backup camera. You can buy a license plate frame with a camera built in it for 100$ at walmart.

I use the one on my prius in the navigation screen it helps tons.

Also pratice without using your mirriors. I was afriad when my grandparents took a test drive in my new 2010 prius because of re mirrors. But my grand la said when he was a kid most cars didn't have mirrors so he learned without them and is better at backing up by just turnng his head then using all the fancy stuff on todays cars.

I'd love to see auto headlights and rain-sensing wipers. Oh and an easier way to browse my iPod.

Aside from those (really) trivial nits, everything else is wunderbar!
