    Maybe too bad they did not add option for the other type of steering wheel.

    That's almost average height (5' 3.5"–5' 4") for an American woman. You will be fine.

    @daisy555 And remember that Japanese folks are generally shorter to begin with....and the Prius is designed with the Japanese market in mind.

    Yes, I’m aware of this. : ) I’m just not sure if I want to require crouching in order to get into the car which is what salesman was doing and what I had to do while pretending to get into the drivers seat. It felt and looked like entering a low riding sports car. I guess I have to wait and see. Thanks!

    Do you think you could fit a bike in the back without removing the front wheel?

    I have a 2017 Prius Prime and I'm only 4'11" - digital display on window screen can be adjusted to your height. I adjusted in 2017 and have not needed to adjust since.

    You could fit anything in a Prius if you fold down the rear seats.

    Thanks. I'm referring to the 2023 which sits much more. I'm guessing by raising the seat all the way I’ll be fine. Just might mean more crouching to get in. In a couple of years I might be searching for a 2022. I know...good luck with that!

    How do you feel about the rear view? Are you okay with it, small window and all out the back?

    The rear view is my only major concern with the 2023 prius, I'll have to see it for myself, but if it does bother me too much I'll just go for an aftermarket digital rear view mirror. It's an important safety feature but its not worth upgrading to the highest trim level just for that. It's very unfortunate that Toyota doesn't have the digital rear view mirror option available for the LE or the XLE
