    Going to buy a 2017 Prius 4 or Touring. Curious as to people's thoughts on whether the Touring drives differently given the 17-inch wheels. Thanks!

    I drove both. I'm not a discerning driver and they wouldn't let me drive them "hard." I couldn't tell any difference. In any case, I really wanted the HUD and the touring didn't have it. So I got the model four with all the options to get the HUD. I am soooo happy I did. That option is very useful. I can see everything I need (speed, battery charge, power level, navigation, and speed limits) in the HUD while keeping my eyes on the road.

    Sun roof was a requirement for me. That meant 4 not Touring.

    Depends on options, and which options you want. The dealer i bought my car had a 4 Touring and my 4 with Advanced Technology Package on the lot for the same price. The Prius 4 I got had way more options on it than the Touring so to me it was a better deal.

    The only things I like from the touring is the LED fogs/DRLs in the bumper, and the touring wheels.
