Great car!!

Reliable and lasts forever!! Will stick to Toyota or Lexus, because these cars give the least headache and problems comparing to other vehicles. Plus the parts and service

Most reliable car I have owned.

Never failed me in hot weather. Just don't forget to service regularly and it will drive for many miles. The market value is always very good too so you loose little money if you sell it.

Happy new Prius V owner

Super spacious wagon-style Prius. All seats are very comfortable, and it's got a lot of cargo capacity. I prioritized fuel efficiency for this purchase, and obviously the Prius delivers. I live in MN and have twice gotten stuck on an icy hill in this car when starting from a standstill - may necessitate snow tires next season. And the acceleration is the opposite of punchy - but you should already know that if you're looking at Priuses. Overall I'm happy with the value.

Electronics broke down at 80,000

Electronics shut down en route, stranding the car -- immobile and in Park -- while on a dangerous overpass. Was purchased as "Certified pre owned" from Reliable Toyota and driven only 86 mile while breakdown occurred.

Travel camper!

I travel across country multiple times a year and use the Prius V for camping. At night I leave the car on at a preset temperature. No problem with heat or cold.

Best car I have ever owned!

Been driving for 50 years. This car was the best ever! In city driving I was getting 42 mpg. Very roomy and comfortable. I was rear ended while stopped at a red light. Other driver never braked and plowed into me at 45mph. My 2013 Prius V totally protected me. I walked away without a scratch or bruise. So wish Toyota still made this car.

Extremely reliable

This car never let me down. I had all maintenance performed at the dealership, and it was not expensive at all to keep up with basic maintenance on the car. Plus, the dealership is fancy and has a great cafe. I never experienced any mechanical issues with the car. I was rear ended, and the car protected me completely. On the down side, the seats were uncomfortable for me because the seats are built to accommodate a major slouch. There is no way to sit up straight in this car without a back pillow. I am 5 foot 2.

I wish Toyota still made them.

I would have loved to purchase a new version of this vehicle but Toyota discontinued this model. What a shame, I have loved it and would have liked to get another.

Best car in the driveway inside and out

The Prius V has everything you need as a family vehicle. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone. If you are trying save gas and money but need the luxury of space the Prius V has it all.
