I really enjoy this car. The gas mileage is wonderful, though I haven't been able to get the advertised 50+ mpg. The engine is smooth running and quiet. In fact, it is totally silent at times. It's perhaps a small matter, but I am grateful for the upholstery. Mine is light grey fabric, but it has been resistant to all stains and spills so far. I have the keyless entry fob instead of an actual key and I also have the rear view camera. Those are both great conveniences. I got the car new about 10 months ago. I have used the Toyota Care feature for maintenance and love it. What a feeling... to just walk out of the dealership with $0 on the bottom line of your invoice. The safety features are a comfort, too. I think we have every possible airbag. The seats are very comfortable. I have no problem driving all day in this car. And there is a good amount of room in the backseat for my long-legged passengers. I like the hybrid styling of this car. There is a lunar-glow Toyota logo on the rear hatchback door that is really pretty, too, just for fun.

The Toyota Prius V is an awesome vehicle. One of my favorite things of course is the phenomenal gas mileage. We average from 45-48 MPG. It has a leather interior and heated seats. The AC works well. The GPS gets us where we are going without any problems so obviously the updates are indeed up to date for the most part. The stereo system has a lot of choices and my phone hooks to it with ease for MP3 listening. The speaker system is quite adequate even for the rear seat listeners. The vehicle is kind of like the station wagons from years gone by only with more headroom, better gas mileage, more luxury and more versatility. The "power mode" feature is fantastic. Having never had this on a vehicle before, I've really come to depend on it to help me get around slower vehicles on a 2-lane road more quickly and safely. If I had one complaint it would be the positioning of the drink holders. On an older model Prius we had there were 2 holders in the center console which was much more convenient than just the one with the passenger one being a retractable holder. Being able to put the seats down flat gives you great hauling capacity. We have even hauled 8 foot lumber pieces. I've had the back full of bags of mulch for my garden and plants. The backup camera really comes in handy then. The fuel usage panel is pretty handy also. It helps you to adjust your driving to a level where you are getting the best mileage. My husband actually uses it to see how many miles he can get on a tank of gas. We only have about 40k miles on the car currently, but if it performs as well as our 2007 Prius which now has well over 200k miles on it, I will be a happy camper.
