Good day friends! I'm looking for a fuel efficient quiet car that's comfortable for long distance driving. I wanted a 2017-2018 Mazda 3, but I keep reading complaints about road noise. I think buying a 4th Gen Mazda 3 is a bad idea due to the prices. My current list of cars I'm trying to pick between is Prius 2015+ Prius V 2015+ Lexus HS250 Mazda 3 2017-2018 Atleast for the Prius V vs the Prius could I you tell me your opinions? My main concern with the normal Prius is the ground clearance is terrible. My Honda Fit sits at 145mm and I have scrapped it several times already Thanks!
gen 4 is quieter than 2015, to some extent. lexus should be quietest at the expense of some mpg's. what year is the lexus? quiet is in the ear of the hearer. most high mpg vehicles keep things light, which results in noise
Just to be clear, all Prius v’s are gen3 and a 2015 Prius hatchback is gen3. You need a 2016 up hatchback to get a gen4. There is almost no ground clearance advantage with the Prius v. You need a Rav4 hybrid to get some ground clearance.
