Heck, if it can tell the passenger doesn't have the seat belt buckled, it should be able to tell you have a 'navigator' to use those functions and not impair a lone driver's safety performance. The only real objections I had with the '11, 13, and, '15 models were the rear window wiper bar, (you don't notice it after a while and it doesn't really hamper vision) and the safety limitations on function use, like GPS or address searches while driving. The interior was clean and functional with comfortable seats and the all electronic dash, monitoring and mid-dash displays. But the electric motor kicks in like a F-1 KERS when you hit the pedal or Power mode button. In power mode my Prius did the published 10.1 0-60 and that's quite quick for a lower cost sedan with a 95 bhp motor. Loved the handling (for a sedan) and have pitched it around Watkins Glen race track. Since then every time I get to the end of the warranty (about 18-24 months) I get a new one. I had been … following the Prius since its intro and finally decided that Toyota had gotten it right and purchased a Prius 3. At 65, when I retired in 2011, I decided that I didn't want to be that 'old guy' driving the 20 year old Buick. I know how a car should handle, and I learned to drive very smoothly and so have always gotten the most mpg out of a car. I've always driven sports/sporty cars, 65 Sunbeam Tiger, '70 Datsun 240Z, (30 years of driving station wagons) and 10 years of Pontiac Fieros.
