I'm uncertain whether the smart key, HID's, traction control is worth the extra $2200. I was hoping that the 06 HCH Nav would not be that feature rich, which would then sway into getting the Prius.

Thanks,

seattlite; It goes without saying that between the two HCHs that it will come down to personal choice. Either one of these is (IMO) an excellent vehicle with different looks and especially in their interiors which to me are very different. I prefer the HCH ll because I like the outside looks of the 06 model and I really like the way Honda did the Interior with the two tier dash layout. But, then again I have owned many-many Hondas over the yrs. and have driven them without any undue down time. The only thing I might point out to you concerning the Prius is that I just do-not like the way Toyota does the dash layout, but that is me. I prefer the instruments to be in front of my eyes and not off in the middle of the dash. This is a hard one for sure but either one you go with I think you will be satisfied.

The other thing that swayed my decision was I really like the Two-Tone Blue Interior that you can get in the 06 HCH ll with the right outside color choice. I like that it is different and not just the same old neutral colors that you get in all vehicles. Thats me though.

Regards;

Terry

BTW: Good-Luck and Have-Fun
