this is the dream car I never dreamed about
I didn't think I could like a car as much as my Matrix but the Prius V has proven to be even better..very comfortable, fuel efficient, beautiful color and styling and has an incredible amount of leg room and cargo space.

Easy to drive with many innovative features !
Besides its good looks, learning to drive it comes naturally. The front and back seats are all quite comfortable with plenty of leg room. We have a lot of space in the rear with the easy hatch back lift gate. It has many electronic features which take some time to learn and digest. We WILL learn this and are very interested in this project. However, its a car you can drive off the lot with little instruction. It has many safety features which make your driving safer. They do take reading and practicing but it is easy to adapt yourself to these features. The car handles well, especially on narrower, winding roads but relaxing on straightaways. It's also a pleasure not to have to visit the gas station as often! It takes time to understand that you do not need to press the throttle in this car as you might in one that is not as innovative. It is quiet and handles the road well, and our passengers have expressed how comfortably the back seat rides.

Prius v has good visibility and acceleration
My wife and I test drove the 2017 Prius c and v. The v has much better rearview mirror visibility-the hatchback really helps with that. Even with having a 5'10" adult sit in the back seat, I could easily see for lane changes. I normally drive a sports car with over 400 hp on tap. The Prius v was surprisingly good at getting up to 70 mph for highway on-ramp driving. Check it out- we bought one!

first 1000 miles
I was looking for a little more cargo space, but got so much more. The drive is much more comfortable than our 2010 Prius. I have been getting better mpg than the EPA rating. The console design is very user friendly in my opinion. The only changes that I would make would be to beef up the rear seat and front passenger cup holders.

Why the Long Look?
The car is really long!...... That is the definition of this car. The upside of the vehicle is its space. It's long so it can sit more than five passengers and or carry long objects. However, from driving it on a highway, I must say that it doesn't feel safe. It seems light and turning was difficult for me. I usually drive sedan so that may be the reason why; this car's length is longer than most SUV. I also feel like I will break the stick. It's like "Golf Cart" is what I was told by Toyota worker. Yea... so... it's about two inches long at best and two or three centimeters thick. I feel like I would break it. I would recommend this car for college students (money is good compared to what it has to offer - bluetooth, space, etc.) but it's not a dream car for many. Anyone looking into SUV and isn't comfortable with most SUV heights, PriusV is an alternative. Length could be issue but I'm sure whoever drives it for few weeks it should be ok.

Reliability + Efficiency
This is my second Prius and also a V model 5, with newer technology. It is by far the most reliable car I have owned and always gets 40 mpg, highway or city driving. It is comfortable and effective for carrying supplies or groceries or passengers.

Most efficient car I ever have
This car meets all our needs to be oil efficient and thus eco-friendly! At the same time, it's sleek design just stands out as well. The smaller space inside doesn't however sacrifice comfort at all.

Why did I wait to get rid of my gas guzzler
I have only owned this Prius 5 for only a couple of weeks. It rides like a dream. In that time I have driven 427 miles when I came upon a gas station that was selling gas at a hard to pass up price. With my previous gas guzzler and force of habit I proceeded to fill the tank. To my surprise and pleasure it only took 4.5 gallons of fuel. What a saving, even my credit card said thank you.

Super impressed with new car
This car met and exceeded my expectations. A smooth, quiet ride, with a lot more storage space than I realized. I got just over the EPA fuel estimate on a 550-mile trip the day after I took ownership.

Best Car I've Owned
The 2017 Toyota Prius 3 is a great car! Let's start with 61.2 MPG in the city. All the safety features comfort and control of a Lexus. Did not get any extra's since there was a lot standard. Only extra was pearl white exterior. Trunk space and front and rear leg and head room are very good. Easily fits someone six feet or taller. Cockpit is fabulous! Even can charge and Bluetooth certain phones when placed in console tray. Perfect car for a new driver as well as an old seasoned one like me. This car is tight and much better than previous Prius years. The new styling makes it look great too!
