    Yup, that's my question: When I look at the 2013 Prius 3 at the dealer, it feels like a bigger car than my 2007. Is that right? How do I find out???

    Thanks. But, it doesn't show physical size. Passenger volume is smaller and luggage area is larger in the 2013.

    Gen2 L/W/H: 175/67.9/58.7 in pass: 96.2 cuft lugg: 14.4 cu ft

    Gen3: 175.6/68.7/58.7 pass vol: 93.7 cu ft lugg: 21.6 cu ft

    Not sure what to make of luggage vol. It's not that much diff.

    One of Consumer Reports comments on 3rd gen Prius: ".... Improved seating position" .... I think that's their kind way of saying it's not great, it just s&^$s somewhat less than the previous generation."
