Question - Best options for a 2010 Prius? How would you pimped a 2010 Prius?

I added plastic rain shields over the front door windows. They let me crack the windows in the rain without being dripped on. I got them from J. C. Whitney.

I just posted about the rain shields and forgot to add that I wouldn't get another Prius without the leather interior. I got cloth and my sister, who bought one at the same time got leather. After 35,000 miles, My interior looks very worn and used while my sister's looks brand new. Also, other things I have found very handy include the rear view mirror with the built in door opener buttons (3) I have programmed in my community's gate, my sisters community gate and her garage door - very handy. I am also a fan of the built in bluetooth connectivity. It works well and I much prefer being able to answer a call from the steering wheel - much safer.

Is this a 2010 Prius, or earlier?

Anyway, if you're 250 pounds and she's 100 pounds, that might happen regardless.

56K on my 07 here, cloth seats, and they look like the day they delivered the car.

Ours are 07 Models. My friend , who has an 09 with a cloth interior, is already seeing the wear on the interior.

Have you developed worn edges on the center console and the door arm rests - I have. And my driver's seat (grey) has darkened and worn in spite of weekly cleanings. BTW, I wear tan kaki trousers 99% of the time.

Not yet.

Mine's gray, too; no darkening, and I don't clean the seats at all.

I wear either suit pants or jeans.

OK, on a Prius or any car, my priorities would be a cruise control that will hold the speed to within 1 mph maybe 2 up or down on a steep hill. A GPS that includes the MPH so I can use it to set the speed. would it be all that difficult to program in a speed and use the GPS signal to go automatically go to that speed and maintain it? And it would help if the SOB in front of me had one also.... A mp3 player with USB capabilities. Anything that makes the car quieter at highway speed. Anything that helps it heat fast and cool fast, remote starts are a wonderful thing. An oil change, antifreeze, transmission fluid, brake fluid, timing belt and everything else minder that runs off the computer (like GM has for oil changes) and not miles driven. A coffee dispenser, backup and forward sensors, oh make that edge of bumper sensors so I can park and maneuver with out bumping into things. My motivation is to drive as efficiently, some would call it as fast as possible and not worry about speeding tickets, and not bump into things when parking, slow tight turns. And most of all to enjoy the driving. How about a rear view mirror that automatically adjusts at a push of a button and shines the light back into a following drivers eyes when he has his brights on? While I'm thinking about it, a web ready radio/computer with wireless function that automatically records my favorite internet radio station programs off my wireless router while the car is sitting unattended, and cuts out the commercials, so I can listen to them on the next drive..... Geez life it tough, I have to do all this stuff now manually.

equals weight, which costs energy to haul around.

I had cloth in my 2005, leather in my 2010. As with your 07, the cloth seats on my 05 (daughter has it now) still look like new. Moreover, they were more comfortable than the leather seats in my 2010, electric heaters not-with-standing. Since the -F temps set in those heated seats feel pretty good. I'm 200+ lbs.
