    I've noticed that the split rear windshield is GREAT at blocking people's high beams as they ride my nice person hoping I'll go faster.

    Anyone else notice any random possibly unintended benefits to your Prius?

    Yes, the POWER button, so I can quickly get back in the right lane and get the hell out of their way.

    I've seen a few posts about that. I was tempted to get the auto dimming mirror (more for the HomeLink than anything else) but I'm kinda glad that I didn't.

    I have that auto mirror but I don't drive my car at night :) too many bugs in Minnesota at night.

    I noticed the same thing about the split windshield - and to turn on the high beams I could light up half of a small town...
