Prius Vs need MODDING!
I bought my Prius V for its roominess and fuel economy. Then I found it lacked a lot in handling. Better than a Prius sedan but still lacking. The long body is a "dishrag", begging to be stiffened. Luckily I found "Juiced Hybrid" in Redwood City, CA and the parts I needed to make it go really handle as it should. Now, with all handling parts installed it handles FAR better and is much safer in emergency maneuvers. I've installed: 1. three underbody stiffener braces 2. 17" ENKEI RPF1 wheels and Yokohama V rated 215/50/17 tires 3. front and rear sway bars 4. strut tower bar 5. 5% stiffer and 1" lower coil springs 6. INJEN cold air intake system with MAF sensor attachment port (slightly more power and slightly better highway mpg.) I've installed some electronics mods: 1. Prius V specific LED fog lights 2. LED running lights (in the grille) 3. shark fin antenna (body color matched) 4. LED interior lights 5. hard-wired line for my Garmin GPS 6. LED lighted rear bumper lights replaced the reflectors My next hybrid will likely be a Toyota RAV. I need more road clearance and AWD. Plus the hybrid RAV 4 is much quicker than my Prius v. Toyota needs to improve its hybrid electric motors. More POWER is needed! BUT... after driving the Hyundai Ionic hybrid I would definitely purchase it over any Prius if I got another hybrid sedan.

Boring reliable economic transportation and little else
Could have been a better car. Driving Controls are ok. I don't even mind the central gauge cluster, but it looks looks horrible. The infotainment system is slow. The nav in my 10 year old BMW was faster at imputing destinations and finding routes. It has a resistive touchscreen which is also horrible. The Prius power train is not very refined carrying around the extra weight. A boat-like feeling at any speed and numb numb numb, but above 60 mph, the car has an unsettling unstable feeling. Brakes are overly grippy at low speeds and mushy at high. Besides my gripes, it is excellently packaged. It carries what I need it to carry and gets north of 40 mpg in mixed driving.
Fun to drive
Our second Prius, daughter still driving the first! Lots of room in the wagon great gas mileage, least cost of owner ship of any vehicle I have owned and I'm 71 years old so I've owned a lot. So what's not "FUN" about that crites!
ri
unfortunately Toyota chose not to make the Prius after 2017. Dumb mistake on their part
