Is that a four car garage? Looks like two front facing and two side car garage so looks like there is a spot in the garage for all of the cars.

Great choice for seniors also on retirement income. I'm seeing more of these around my area lately than usual.

Is that a circa 1989 digital clock?

Congrats! I just picked up the exact same car today but XLE. I am also moving up north for school, which makes the AWD aspect a plus. I know how your daughter feels....the sea glass pearl has been my dream shade for 3 years. I had all but given up hope on finding one when they released the redesigned 2023 Prius, so this was fate if I do say so myself! Can I ask how much your daughter's car came out to be? Mine was a bit more than I'd expect ($33.7k with 4k miles, all the XLE upgrades and 100k mile warranty). But I am so in love with my car, I don't think I could regret my purchase haha!

1989 or 1929, it's a clock. Lol who cares as long as it displays the proper time.

I personally think automakers should have used analog clocks way more than they did. Our house has several and only the alarm clock is digital, unless you also count the stove and microwave.

I see no reason to have an ugly 1980s analog clock on a vehicle with multiple LCD screens that can easily display a time.

I like the analog clock for style, but I have both in my car (actually it shows time in 3 places, the gauge cluster, the nab screen and the analog clock) I never look at the clock.

That's just the thing... not every vehicle has multiple LCD screens. I see no issue of having a digital clock below a screen, like in my RX for example:

All new vehicles do. That was my point, of course an old analog clock in an old vehicle with no screens makes sense. This analog clock is literally right next to an LCD display. Your RX was designed to both have and not to have an LCD display, that’s why it still has an analog clock.

You’ll note in the all new Prius…no separate clock.

I like it too, but if I had to choose a more modern better system than the RTC vs the analog clock, I'll choose the system.

Hilariously there is a clock mode to the screen which displays an analog clock lol
