-The big reason I love the Prius is it's a HyBrid from day one and from the ground up and they are now working on the third generation.
-The Honda is a Civic that has been modified to a Hybrid over and over.
-I have used navigation programs in my cars for years, mostly CoPilot and the touch screen navigation system in the Prius is much better, easier to use and has a ton of information. For instance, you are on a trip and you ask for motels to be shown on the screen and when the icons are on the screen you can touch one to take you to that location. Also when you touch an icon it displays all the information about that Motel, gas statation, restaurant ( and incidently, the restaurants, gas station etc icons are unique in that they look like a McDonald's or Shell etc) the telephone number is displayed with a call button. If you have a Bluetooth phone in your car or pocket, just touch the call button on the navigation screen and you are talking to the motel, restaurant, etc.
-I like the heads up display just below and along the bottom of the windshield.
-The display also shows a lot of other useful information; current MPG, average MPG, a calendar, audio adjustments, air conditioning, etc. And all of these adjustments are available on the steering wheel.
