My favorite feature in the prius is..........

I like the smart key feature. Being able to open any door and not have to fumble with keys (especially if my hands are full) and then just get in and drive (after using your favorite feature).

It took me a week to stop reaching for the dashboard to remove my key when I parked the car. Now I get into my wife's minivan and just sit there.....and then I remember to pull my key out of my pocket, insert it and drive.

 

1. Back-up Camera

2. 3-door Smart Key System w/Push Button Start

 

55 mpg.

 

Reverse camera, RFID key/push button start, and my wife thinking its a "cute car". The last one sold her on the car and got me the mpg I always wanted.

 

SKS system and start push button

 

No question, the 55mpg+

...then the smart key

...then the solar cooling

 

+1

I drive 80% highway. So the cruise setup is just great. I also love my LED headlights.

 

1. congestion charge exception in london
2. 50mpg
3. quiet

 

Same for me.

 

My favorite feature is the technical achievement .... meaning .... ALL of the above.

I know that is fudging, but every aspect of this remarkable vehicle is favored. I still sit in awe that I own a copy of this marvelous machine. It does everything well: fuel efficient, quiet creature comfort, quality of construction, fit and finish. I appreciate the attention to detail ... like the A/C and the water pump not being ICE driven; that I can travel with 3 friends plus golf clubs; that my wife and I can travel long distances with luggage. I greatly admire that it is as suited to stop and go driving, as cross country travel. I enjoy the freedom from worry about running out of battery power, or concerns about a broken belt stranding me along the highway.

Well done Toyota.

 

When I sold my Gen2 Prius and bought a non-hybrid car the things I missed the most were: SKS and push button start with no key.

 

I love how its 95% electronic. I love how well its built. I love the gas mileage and ride quality. I love driving it period.

 

All the crazy media hysteria caused by Jim Sykes.... Whatever happened to that guy anyways?

I would have to agee with the SKS although that sneaky PWR button ranks up there for me.

 

1. My prerequisite was that it can hold a very large (or 2) surfboards on the inside. Like a longer board than my old Santa Fe SUV.
2. My incentive to purchase a Prius was the 50 mpg.
3. Yeah, the keyless entry and ignition are cool ... it's funny, I also often forget to take my wife's Honda key out of my pocket when I go to start her car.

 

The rear seats that slowly but methodically squeeze old people...

 

My favorite feature is the built in Chihuahua kennel.

 

Electric air conditioning. I can leave it on while shopping and return to a car that's already cool. Would never do that if the engine had to run all the time.

Engine stops when the car stops.
