Used 2015 Toyota Prius v Consumer Reviews
Hit a home run with this car!
If you’re thinking of buying a used Prius V then have no fear! Through 130,000 miles it hasn’t cost me a penny more than the recommended maintenance. I have yet to put on a new set of brake pads. I just had an Uber driver with a 2014 Prius that had 312,000 miles on it and he had not had to change out the battery pack or do anything other than regular maintenance. At an average of 42mpg Hwy and 48mpg City, it has saved me a lot of money on both gas and maintenance compared with all my previously owned vehicles. The only drawback is road noise, especially on poorly maintained concrete highways. At 30,000 we bought low tread noise Bridgestone tires and it made a huge difference. This vehicle goes back and forth to Florida twice a year and even on the steepest grades and loaded to the max it has never had a problem keeping pace with traffic through the mountains. With 20,000 miles driven annually, if this baby goes to 300k then it may well outlive me!

Now is the time
The best time to buy a hybrid is when gas prices are low. Great deal, stellar fuel economy, and very roomy for stuff (comparable to small SUV with 2x the fuel economy and good handling (not great).

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!
Buy One You Will Love It
Everything. Its fun to drive and so sporty yet a practical vehicle for an individual or family. The extra cargo space is worth every dollar. I wish my 2015 had the extra features on the 2018's and more. Of course at the old price ! All these cars today are overpriced. The option packages are so frustrating and add up quickly to the base price of the car. I'm not very fond of all the leasing and sales tactics used these days. When I leased my Prius V/trim level 3 I expected to buy the car with the option. I put down $ 5,000 and have thus decided not to purchase the car. That being said, buying Gap Insurance and a $ 795.00 plan to cover wear and tear costs...What do you think that does to the overall cost of the vehicle. Of course they want to charge you $ 350.00 when you turn the car in...Add up all these costs and leasing is not for everyone. The option to buy monthly payments are usually much higher than the lease payments.. Its only a car and they are much to expensive for everyone these days. When the gas prices in 2014 were sky high the great gas mileage was a real blessing. Overall, buy a Prius compact or a wagon. The Prius wagon was my choice after spending 3 weeks looking at every car made and traveling to all the dealers. I almost bought the popular Honda CRV...when I took my 97 year old mother at the last minute for a interstate short ride, the Honda felt like riding in a Jeep. I even asked the salesman if there was something wrong with the test vehicle. The Prius V became a very very very easy choise for me. Mother likes her rides to the hair dresser, doctor and occasional dining out. Good Luck ! Its a very stressful shopping experience. You can spend a week just reading reviews. ARE YOU AWARE THAT CONSUMER REPORTS OUT OF THE 258 RECENTLY TESTED only 26 vehicles were recommended. Your Prius is on the list. Popular cars on the road today were not recommended. Be a conscious buyer, its your money !
