Replying to: looking4prius (Nov 18, 2005 10:37 am) My Honda dealer was selling Accord EX (non-hybrid) at $30k   That does seem a bit stiff. The 2006 leather NAV version in San Diego, a known Honda gouging location, is right at $26k. By comparison the 2005 pkg 6 Prius is $28,629 locally. The 2006 Prius with leather is going to be a bit more. I would think it would be easier to find an Accord than a Prius also. Good luck in your quest.

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 18, 2005 4:35 pm) Anyone looking for an 06 Prius should opt out and buy the leather aftermarket. Don't forget the nice juicy tax credit too. 28k turns into 25k at the blink of an eye. Gotta love it!!! Replies to this message: calidave (Nov 25, 2005 1:59 pm) falconone (Nov 26, 2005 7:40 am)

Replying to: calidave (Nov 25, 2005 1:59 pm) Leather is standard.
#267 of 336 Civic vs Prius by fndlyfmrflyr Nov 27, 2005 (1:26 am)
I haven't seen many comments on the big price difference. Over $4000 ($3000 after the tax credit next year). I'm thinking about an 06 Prius and looked at an 06 Civic hybrid today (compared it to my 05 Prius).   To each his/her own on looks, but to my eye the Honda is much better looking on the inside. Both have the same cloth arm rests 'mistake' and neither one has rear A/C vents.   The Civic driving position is better becuase of the tilt/telescope wheel and height adjusting seat. The rear seat head room is much better in the Civic.   Width is better in the Prius as is rear leg room. The Civic trunk is tall, but very shallow front to back. The rear seat in the Civic is too low (almost knee in the chest) and it is a low bridge getting into the front of the Civic.   The Honda nav system is far superior. I like the Civic - a lot. BUI, it does not have stability control, xenon lights, or the key stays in the pocket lock system.   Stability control is a must for us, so even though I like the Civic hybrid better than the Prius, it was a no sale. Hopefully the leather seat 06 Prius will have a nicer interior than our 05.
#268 of 336 How long a surfboard can you fit in your Prius? by cooljw Nov 28, 2005 (2:26 pm)
Replying to: stevedebi (Oct 25, 2005 10:33 am) The Civic Hybrid doesn't have folding rear seats because the batteries are located in that space between the seats and the trunk. This is really bad if you surf.   But the Prius is fold down all the way through, so you can stash a surfboard in there. Anyone know how long of one you can fit?   For example, I can fit an 8' board in my 2005 Corolla after pushing the front passenger seat forward. From the looks of it, you should be able to get something even longer in the Prius.
