Positive Review
Many people question why I paid so much for a hybrid. I said they should consider why people pay so much for a small suv? This car has about the same interior space and quality and gets 40+ mpg for the same price. If more people looked at facts and less at popular press they would see 30K for fully a loaded suv is a value and knowing it'll go 200K+ with minimal issues is why Toyota has it's quality reputation. We have been happy with the decision and paying $30 to go 400+ miles feels great. I love quality cars and the steering feel is ok but it is a very fun car to drive. It's a pleasure to take your time and trying to run in electric only makes driving game like. In the end I would say it's a great option if you don't push the engine hard and want an inexpensive but fun way to get from point a to point b.

Critical Review
side mirrors reflect air vents and dashboard thus obstructing view in heaving traffic, depending on the light (sun) you cannot read the GPS, car seats four not five adults, no sliding in/out on this leather, radio is difficult to use, no auto on headlights during daylight driving, front seats are difficult if not impossible to adjust to a comfortable setting backup alarm stays on when car is in reverse and does not change as you get close to another car or object...

Long lasting durable high quality vehicle
Headlights should throw better light
Bought the 2012 Toyota Prius V used in 2018 used with 29,000 miles trading my in very good shape160K mile 2008 Prius for it. Have done all my own oil & transmission fluid changes with 8K oil & trany changes at 90K & 150K. Coolant change once at 125K. Now has 165K, uses no oil in between changes, runs & drives same as the day I bought it. Changed headlights to LED. Everything works 100% & has cost me zero dollars in repairs. Driving conservatively it averages 45 MPG at 55 MPH. Took the back seats out & built a bed frame for sleeping. When my 02 Ford E-150 breaks down I stuff the Prius with HVAC equipment until the van gets fixed. Was cheap to buy (used), cheap to insure, GREAT MPG, doesn't break down, & is still running great as a 14 year old vehicle. Too bad they're not making it anymore.
Reliability,comfort.

I was looking for a hybrid vehicle, I bought a used 2012 Toyota Prius V. Comparing, mileage, price, and vehicle history helped me make my choice though it is 15 years old it has been a huge link in technology for me. I look forward to taking our first road trip.

My first car was a Prius 1(389.000 miles), and now I own a Prius V 2014, and I can see Toyota still owns my heart. The car saves me on gas for all these years. Never pay for mager problems, only for tires and maintenance. If you keep the vehicle running, he keeps saving for you.
After listing all info on auto , could go no further without credit card information which I refused to do. Why is this necessary because I am not buying anything? Refused to do so.
This is a dream car for a hybrid car with excellent mileage. It is a consistent performer with only minor maintenance. I have no problems with the car and find it a solid vehicle. The size of the Prius V gives me flexibility for taking large loads. It is hard to imagine a better car in this class. The car is 12 years old but driving fine.
Bought new and have over 110,000 miles and just changed out brake pads. Car has not had any problems.
Built solid. Handles high speeds well, mileage as advertised 45-50. Interior is beautiful and comfortable. This is the station wagon that can haul more than my Mazda CX5.
This car is in great shape and great gas mileage - approximately 33 mpg. Incredibly roomy with trunk space to spare.
