Just my 2 cents.

There is a dial just to the left of the steering wheel that changes the brightness of the dashboard lighting. It makes everything just perfect. I like it bright in the bright sunshine so I can see it, and then I turn it down at night for night driving. Not a bother at all.
BTW, I find the regular Prius packs A LOT. last trip to Florida my wife put a HUGE cedar hopechest on the back seat filled with stuff. In front of that was my laptop backpack, cooler, etc,etc. Under the back floor in the secret compartments most folks do not know exist she had 3 other large boxes. In the back she put our suitcases, TWO antique end tables, a totem pole, (don't ask....), boxes, 3 months of clothes, etc,etc......and I still had clear vision of the WHOLE back window and side windows.......
I'm looking forward to seeing the new Prius V.....as it is 61% bigger. My son just bought a new Honda CR-V and loves it. He checked out the other comparable SUV's that size like the Rav-4, etc,etc but liked the CR-V the best in terms of resale value, 5 year cost to own, etc.
Sounds like there are enough folks to start a Lake Region Prius Club....
