    Hi All,

    Just stopping by to say Hello, I used this site a lot when setting on purchasing a new 2016 Prius 3 with ATP to replace a Gen 2 2007 touring that I unfortunately totaled :(

    The thread with all the different packages/trims titled "Visual Tables of Gen4 Package Combinations" was very useful.

    I've now had the Prius for a week and had the following observations:

    It's a lot quieter than the gen 2 and definitely handles a little better.
    I do like the HUD especially coupled with the NAV, I bought the ATP mainly for the Safety Sense, but the HUD and moonroof is what was better than buying base 2017 3 for around the same price once you factor the incentives.

    Entune is just okay, does its job, but definitely needs an update.

    I've made a visual mods and will definitely be contributing more to the mods section.
