    Never had a chance to try out the 2012+ Prius 4 or 5 driver's seat that actually moves since battery is usually disconnected in showrooms and car shows. But, I got to try a working one today. The controls on it were easy to use and seemed high quality. Seat bottom moves in all ways, up, down, front tilt, back tilt. Nice that it has power adjustable lumbar support. Might like some of that, but mine's alright without it. Forgot to try the seat heater, darnit :)

    It felt good to sit in, but a lot like mine. Can't expect the driving experience to be anything like BMW because Prius is mass produced to a cost point without details like this:
