Default What Is The One Thing You Would Change?

I've had my Gen III prius for about two months now, and I am just as excited about it today as I was when I drove it off the lot. That said, there are a few things I don't much care for.

If I could change only one thing about my 2010 Prius, it would have to be the visibility in the rear view mirror. Can't Toyota find a way to get rid of that split window?

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

One step at a time. Current screen displays only 256 colors, the same number of colors as the Lexus 4th gen NAV used in 2006 and earlier model years.

In 5 years, I'll probably complain that the 2015 Prius has only 32,000 colors when it should have 16.7 million (and change my screen name accordingly).

I'd move the EV, ECO, and PWR buttons closer to the driver.

More storage space (front/rear door pockets, driver's side coin compartment, separate MP3 player holder like the Venza etc)
