    Love my Toyota Prius V

    The Prius v hybrid is an excellent choice for me. I'm pretty tall so most cars or SUVs have limited head room for me. But the Prius v has excellent head room and easy to get in. It's comfortable to drive with plenty of room. The gas mileage is excellent. I expected the performance to be lacking but found it more than sufficient The cargo space is excellent with the seats folded down. And the back seat has great head and leg room due to it's sliding seats. I am extremely happy with the Toyota Prius. It's just a well made and reliable vehicle. I know it was hard to find Prius models to purchase and amazed their Prius models available with over.200k miles. Well done Toyota.

    Great car with lots of storage space and great gas mileage. I have the level 5 which has a nice leather interior, sporty wheels, etc. Super reliable and great on gas for its size.

    Prius V and commuting

    The V glides way faster than the C probably because of the weight. I find it hard on the brakes. We got ours at 36,000 miles and someone killed the rotors. I always shifted to B in the Prius C and the shifts in my V are less fluent. The V is quieter has a deeper pitch. The exhaust of the Prius C 2014 was more of a tinny acceleration. Prius C could not pass anyone because the C had little power. The V can. The gas mileage is totally worth having a prius C.

    Best and Most Enjoyable Vehicle I have Ever Owned

    We have owned 3 Prius V's (2013, 2015, 2017) and have collectively driven them for about 270,000 miles. I am sadly disappointed that Toyota made the decision to drop them because they have been the most reliable and enjoyable vehicles we have ever owned. We have travelled extensively in these cars all through the lower 48 states and 10 Canadian Provinces.

    A headache to drive!

    We just traded our Toyota Prius v4 in for a Ford Edge. We just could'nt stand the noise level and bumpy ride. When it drove through icy snow it sounded as if the floor of the car was being cut apart from it. The road noise and wind noise levels were always so high we were yelling at each other to talk and had a very difficult time using the phone in the car. I had to scream into the speaker all the time. Since most of our miles are at speeds of 70 - 80 on expressways, the wind noise was horrible. At those speeds the windshield would actually start vibrating, which added more noise. The miliage was impressive, at first, but we discovered it changed drastically when the temp would drop below 20 or rise above 90 F which it does every winter and summer here. Then there are the brakes in humid or wet weather - GROANNNNNN. It was a love/hate relatioship that needed to end to keep our sanity! Ill never forget the shock when I sat in the Edge for the first time and closed the door and suddenly realised I could no longer hear the salesman and my husband speaking outside. Smooth ride even over RR tracks. I can talk to my husband even if he sits in the back seat and use the phone in my normal speaking tone. I have reached total bilss!! Sorry Toyota Prius, I tried my best to love you, but will never fall for the fuel economy trick again.

    Prius has been the best car I have ever owned.

    I researched for a long time for an economical, fair priced car. We owned a Prius 2 for 5 years. As long as Toyota keeps making cars like this I will be a faithful customer. Recently we traded this car in and purchased a 2017 Prius V & a 2013 Prius C. Both of these cars have excellent gas mileage and are the most dependable vehicles we have ever owned.

    Best car I?ve owned.

    I have purchased over 40 cars in my life and the Prius V is among my two favorites, the other a 1984 Toyota Celica. My wife wanted the Prius V back in 2012 and I scoffed. But she got one and it has been a jewel. We?ve put 110,000 miles on it and with the exception of replacing headlamps twice have done nothing but routine maintenance. So when my 2008 Lexus was due for replacement I looked at a dozen different car models and settled on another Prius V.
