Most annoying thing about the prius?

BlckPrius · 08-03-2006, 02:54 PM

For me it is the rear window because its so hard to see from the rearview mirror and the blindspots. Also the lack of power seats.

The nincompoop-know-it-alls who tell me how much they think new batteries cost, or that I'll never get my money back. (Oh, says I, and what are you doing in your car that makes you money?)

I like the split rear window because it blocks out glare from the headlights of tailgaters at night. I would love power seats, sunroof, and many other options but not only would they add too much weight and lower MPG but I couldn't afford the car!

I have to agree with you. My only other gripe is that I only have one Prius.

Stupid cloth fabric on the door and the center console.

...I'm still trying to think of something...

Oh yeah, non-Prius drivers who try to tell me what a dumb car it is.

How 'bout the fuel system in general. In less than a week of ownership, I've had the thing erupt all over me (yeah, I've got that lesson down now...), and noted that the gas gauge is ridiculously inaccurate. On Sunday night, I made my usual run down I-10 from Pensacola to New Orleans, almost exactly 200 miles. I burned ~4.5 gallons on the trip, or just about 1/3 of the tank's capacity. The indicator stayed pegged at full until 195 miles. I appreciate optimism, but I'd prefer an honest gas gauge. I don't know if my car has actually had the fuel system update (it's an 04 delivered in August 04). Is hanging up at full for an extended time one of the gas tank issues? Hate this, but still love the car. . .

Cloth covering on center console...and tiny space between console and seat, into which little slips of paper go to be lost forever...or almost forever.

Otherwise...GREAT!! I love all the compartments for storage....keeps "junk" out of sight...helps to keep clean look in car.

I'm lovin' that split rear for the same reason!! I mentioned to my wife that it's more than coincidental that it perfectly blocks headlights when someone's riding your butt.
I would only want power seats if they came with 2 memory positions - my wife and I have different seat/mirror positions. Then I realize - how friggin' lazy am I that I can't take 20 seconds to readjust manually???
