As to the comfort of the Prius seats (or more correctly, lack of comfort) - that is probably the number 1 reason why I went for the TCH instead. I couldn't sit in the Prius for more than a few minutes without my back getting sore. I had just come out of another car (2002 Saturn SL2) that also had uncomfortable seats, and I wasn't willing to continue down that path. I don't regret my decision. I can drive my Camry for 5 hours solid with no discomfort - it's astounding, really. I've put 19,000 Km on it now, and still no perceptable problems with the seats. Even my wife doesn't complain - and on all previous cars she couldn't sit still for more than an hour. If the Prius had seats like the TCH, I would have bought a Prius.
