I understand what you are saying about efficiency vs. amenities but this is about driving ergonomics not luxury. It isn't clear to me how a manual 6 or 8 way driver's seat is going to harm efficiency. My 1987 Toyota Camry I drove in college had this feature - and also got > 40mpg on highway trips. I also don't know how items like navigation systems, bluetooth, heated leather seats, etc. fit into the efficiency vs. amenities equation - I would think a better driver seat would have at least as good of a efficiency/amenity tradeoff as those items.

Thanks for your reply, it sounds like we had the same wishes with the HAH. I have had somewhat better luck with the mileage I guess. I really want to get a Prius but I also don't want to be in pain while driving. The HAH is almost paid off and it would kill me to be paying off another car that hurt to drive.
