Where do I start, I inherited the 2013 Prius V Wagon from my mother in May '21 with 78K miles (Currently has 104,690). At the time I was driving my 2015 Lexus ES350 that had well over 100K. I wasn't ashamed of the car but used it at times as a third car in the family of two (Wife and I). After my Lexus started becoming little costly (parking sensors dying and a starter solenoid dying). I sold the Lexus in June '23 and downgraded to the Prius. I am glad that I did. This car has been remarkable in my opinion. My average fuel mileage is 36.2 overall and mostly consists of highway driving at 80+ MPH. Though when driving around the city of Fort Worth, TX, it drives mostly on the battery, so i can't complain at all. I am 48 yrs old and 6ft 4in and weigh 340 and I fit comfortably inside the car. You would be surprised the looks I get when stepping out of the car. I have seated a total of 4 people in the car for lunch from work and it does pretty well with 4 dudes that are good size. I will say the car is sluggish with that amount of weight in the car. I have done 1 road trip so far in the car and that was claiming/picking up the car from Ocala, FL and driving it to the Great state of Texas. On the highway, its sluggish when accelerating hard with it (though the car was weighted down with boxes, book shelf, and TV). I have found during this trip and just driving it on the highway (after a couple of years) that when letting off the accelerator while at highway speeds, the car will start to decelerate fast but the catch is to quickly catch it, get back on it and it will pick up the speed again easily. If you let it drop more then 10-15 mph, it will be sluggish to bring back up to speed. With that stated, its not going to win drag strip competitions at all but with the price of gasoline, I am extremely happy with its MPG. Maintenance so far has been very affordable. I have the oil changed w/ filter every 10K with synthetic oils and have the tires rotated and balanced as well at the 10K interval at Toyota since taking ownership at 78K. Also had the radiator and inverter flushed as well as what nots accomplished at the 100K servicing as Toyota requires. Had the brake fluid replaced as well. The one flaw I have noticed with this car and I am not sure if its just this car or the Prius V lineup is the brakes feel spongy and independent of each other. It feels during emergency maneuvers that each brake caliper is doing its own thing and not in unison with one another. I have sometimes over corrected because of this and fishtailing starts. The one thing that was the most expensive part on the car that was replaced and paid by Toyota warranty was the brake booster that failed at 80k+ miles. When it was diagnosed, I was told by the service writer it would be $6K for the part and would take 3 days to get and install. After 24 hours, I was back on the road. This shocked the hell out of me due to the fact the car at the time at trade in was $8K. But Toyota prevailed and back on the road. Space - Room in this car is awesome, as stated, I have driven 3 other dudes to lunch comfortable. I have hauled countless of items (large and long bookcase to 200 pound generators) and TIN LIZZY (affectionately called due to the teal color) has pulled through each and every time.The rear seats drop down to have a flat floor for all kinds of cargo and easy to convert back again to rear seating. The rear seats recline back some and tilt back as well a few degrees more. Conveniences - Not a lot to say. I do have heated front seats (drivers and passenger), AM/FM Radio, CD, Bluetooth system. Play mostly my music from my phone and it does the trick. Its not the greatest sound system like I had on my Lexus or my wife's current Lexus but what do you expect from a Prius. Two cup holders and lots of storage from the two glove boxes and two areas of storage on the center armrest. One cigarette lighter and one USB plug up front with nothing in the rear seats. Overall - I am happy with the car and its costs of maintenance that comes with it. In another 20K miles, will be replacing the tires. Another 15K miles will be replacing the spark plugs and any other items at the 120K servicing. Haven't replaced the brakes on this and from what I have read from other owners, I probably wont for a quite awhile. My advice to anyone that is skeptical about purchasing this particular model, please don't. Purchase the car and keep driving. You will be happy with it.
