Of course my preference would have been the Audi but that was 80K. This is my third Prius. Got the V as it is a bit larger than the regular Prius - I see it is referred to as a wagon but I would have never thought to call it that. There is a definite interior redesign - the central console is going which is kind of nice actually and the interior panels are redesigned. Seems much more higher end - whereas the others were not - but also test drove the Lexus Sedan - the i - and I just am a good fit with Prius - I like the way they handle and particularly like the interior of this new one - in fact better than the Lexus I test drove - very space ship looking. The V is much larger inside and I like that but as a family of one, I really didn't need it but it will be a nice plus to have. The pick up is much better in this one and the redesign on the hatchback - for my test - has a much much better rear view mirror. Really love this car but it's day one. Let's see how the next six months go.

My Review of my third Prius V

Prius V is a versatile car with good fuel economy. We haul a lot of stuff occasionally. It is amazing what will fit into this car. I like the new driver assist features, lane warning, automatic headlamps, and the front accident avoidance system while in cruise control. Toyota should put their new hybrid power train in the V. The car so needs backup warning sensors, blind spot warning system, turn signal lights on the mirrors and a full time frontal crash avoidance system. Too bad Toyota decided to discontinue this model.

Best riding car I've ever owned

Smooth ride. Screens encourage me to drive less aggressively as I see how my old habits were jerky and inefficient (or maybe I'm just getting mellower with age). Incredibly quiet inside and out. Only quibble is the navigation screen is too small. But I love this car.

Prius Cabin Noise

Bought a 2016 Prius V to travel around the US after I retire this year. Have been very satisfied with the fuel economy, but very disappointed in the road/wind noise in the vehicle at highway speeds. I find this annoying, loud noise, unacceptable, to try to drive 20 k miles around the country. As it is, I would need ear protection to drive this 4, 5 or 6 hours a day on the highways. Not a good idea when traveling with your wife. I will attempt to install sound deadening mats or fabric to see if this will help to reduce cabin noise, but, the noise seems to come from the windows. Not sure if mats will help. Also looking at other hybrids to trade up to. Too bad. Excellent mileage, but wicked bad cabin noise. Toyota should have put more effort in sound control in this cab when they retooled the model in 2016. Traded for a 2020 Camry Hybrid. Much better.

When I was 18 my favorite car was a new SS 396 Chevelle. Now that I'm 66 THIS is my favorite. Model 5 is pricey but I wanted the safety features and panoramic roof, not so much the Entune App Suite. The Prius V interior is a high step up from the basic Prius and not offensive to my passengers who own a luxury vehicle. During the positive test drive I took a model 3 over well known hazardous streets with stop and go driving. It never occurred to me to turn on the sound system until I was driving my own purchase home a week later, no complaints. I too didn't feel competent with the rear camera until I had a trusting friend stand behind the car. I stopped and parked once the red line was on top of her feet. The owner's manual states the red line is 1.5 ft. but seeing is believing. MPG increases to high 40s with mixed driving using premium grade gas, non-aggressive driving in ECO mode and no AC. The dash indicator for MPG is about 1-2 mi. higher than actual arithmetic at the pump. Comes with several detailed easy to understand manuals. No experience with ice/snow/mud. Got Toyota mud guards and after market floor liners; also dealer door edge guards and rear bumper applique, no complaints. Use padding in the cargo area, hard surfaces like seat backs scratch easily. Would like the telescoping steering wheel to extend further; good for small drivers. Tall passengers make positive comments about height and leg room, especially while using the sliding and reclining back seat. No extra-large passenger yet. Trade in and cash rebate helped; sales tax and admin fees didn't. Update: 9345 miles. Average mixed mileage 37, less than advertised. Dash MPG indicator is consistently 2-3 miles higher than true, which I reported to Service Department on both scheduled visits; no one seemed to care. I stopped using premium gas after reliable publications said to stop wasting money at the pump. Could this be why MPG gas dropped? Instead, I often use top-tier regular fuel. Exterior paint is vulnerable to road debris. No regrets after 14 mo. of ownership. The silver color is still my favorite. Update: 18806 miles. MPG 33-39. I purchased Toyota Care after the original expired. No unplanned service visits. No problems with navigation, audio, or safety features. Body & interior remain in new-condition. Tires wear well and do well in 4-5 inch snow and sleet-ice mix. I haul bagged garden soil & sand, shrubs, pavers, & recently a boxed 36x80 storm door. Toyota USA stopped Prius v with the 2017 model due to sales (4-5K 2015), still sold Internationally. This model is silver with 2-tone gray interior and still receives compliments from random people. I would buy this car again.
