    I have a 2012 Prius 4 with the Solar Package. I am considering a Prime Advanced. I am interested to hear from others who have made a similar change. Are you pleased? I don't like the nav system in my car have they improved it? Have they improved the location of the seat heater buttons? I don't use the sun roof that often so I don't think I will miss it. Other thoughts?

    The Advanced I got is quicker, quieter, and much more fun to drive than my 2012 PIP. The fuel economy is much better, the range between gasoline fuel ups is huge, I'm averaging 1500 miles between fill ups, driving mostly surface streets around 35-50mph. My electric-only range is currently 36 miles. And, there are so many technology features and safety toys that I'm sure to remain unbored for many years.
