Second Prius in the family

I have an '06 Prius, package two. Got my wife a 2014 Prius, also package 2, to replace her old car. So now I have some questions;
The salesman had never heard of any sound generator in the Prius to alert the visually impaired and blind. Can't find a direct reference in the manual, tho I am still reading it.
What is with the manual, anyway? Much harder to read...
The new car is a dark color. There is some sort of paint protection for darker colors...never heard of this. Good idea or salesman just trying to make more $$$ ?
Like my '06, the '14 has handles inside to assist people in getting in and out of the car. But the manual says that these cannot be relied on for support. If not, why are they there???

I am somewhat disappointed. I see no reason for a 1.8L engine, and th Prius C is simply too small. I see no reason for the duplication of displays (why do we need mpg per minute anyway?); it is simply too busy. But it is a Prius. Any thoughts?

 

We were originally going for a Prius C, but she would have none of it. Too small for her. She loves the new car.

 

Ok, I have read more of the owners manual. The car has coat hooks I cant hang anything from ('might become projectiles', ya know), 'assist grips' that my mom can't use to get in or out of the car, displays I dont need (but I won't be driving it anyway).
Definitely disappointed.

 

Jealous? Honestly? Yeah. Perhaps I misstated my feelings. I do like the car, might trade mine in for one. I am disappointed that the dealer that has serviced my gen 2 lied to me multiple times. Many of these I knew about, but some I am just finding out. Little things like the clock/calendar wasn't set (but he said it was), the traction battery is NiCad, not Li-ion like he said it was, etc.
I am also somewhat perplexed by the owners manual. For example, the assist grips. Toyota could simply have rated their use to a certain weight range and put the obvious statements in about not exceeding that range. Instead, they named them 'assist grips' then state that they aren't supposed to be used for just that. The manual seems like one big disclaimer. Hardly user friendly. The DVD is fine, but it refers the driver to the manual rather than provide some simple instructions (how to turn on the heater). But I haven't finished the manual yet, so who knows...

 

Ok, I have driven the new Prius some more, and I have a dumb question: when you fill up the tank and enter the 'gasoline price', do you enter 1) the price per gallon, or 2) the total price? The manual does not explicitly say which. I am presuming that the price ler gallon is to be entered, as the car calculates the mpg but does not know how much gas you put in to the tank. Dumb question, but I would like to know.
