Hi All, My wife and I just bought a 2012 v Five with 36K on it. We're very excited to be Prius owners! Any tips, tricks or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Wlcome to PriusChat! I hope you enjoy your Prius as much as I do mine! The only service I recommend that is not in the manual it to change the ATF WS in the transaxle periodically. I did 30,000 miles, 90,000 miles, then every 90,000 miles It gets more wear early on. If you use your v for cargo, like I do, buy a generic cargo mat an put it over the back seats backwards.

Read the owner's manual? One caution if this the first vehicle you have had with an Atkinson Cycle engine is that over filling with oil can cause engine damage. Does your Five have the Advanced Technology Package?
Thanks everyone! Great tips. We drove it back and forth from TN > IN this weekend and loved it. Averaged around 47 MPG for the trip.
