The Prius isn't programmable for the garage opener?

Thanks, all, for the tips!

We did not get the programmable option, as we have always had garage door openers that fit nicely on the visor. We have enough bells and whistles in this new car. It was just surprising that the visor is so thick that the Romac can't be secured.

The velcro strap belt thingy sounds promising. I will head in that direction.

Again, Thanks!

Our older Chrysler van has it too. Sometimes older is better.

CF - are you sticking with the Chrysler, or the Velcro?

Happy Fourth?

Both! The beloved yet aging (and discontinued) Dodge Magnum has the comfiest seats ever. And a garage door programmer.

We love our new 2015 Prius 3. We traded in our 2007 which had 180K miles on it. Great cars!!

Didn't even have a desire to look at anything else, except perhaps a plug in electric. Unfortunately none of the dealers in Fla have them on the lot. they are special order only.

Big change from California where they can't keep the Plug Ins in stock. They have long waiting lists. We are still surprised that more electrics are not available here. How I would love to use even less gas. Although I can't complain about 45-50 mpg.

Our last Prius paid for itself in gas savings. You can't beat that!

I think they are very nice-looking cars, too. If only you could fit a golden retriever, a cockatiel in a cage, two suitcases, two duffel bags and two bag chairs in one of them...

I'll bet you could if the visor wasn't so damn big.

Dotti - there is a big difference between east coast and west perceptions about cars. For example I would likely never buy an electric car unless I could also buy a 75 mile long extension cord. I just don't know how you do it without them in Cali.

My wife has a 2005 M-B diesel with 46K miles. She gets 768 miles to a tank of fuel or about 38 MPG. Tough to beat that...and she can fit the stuff that CFrance listed that she wants to put in a car.
