I just joined Prius Chat - 2 years after buying my 2010 III. This is a great website and the info on here is terrific. I had been thinking about buying the new V, but decided the cost was more than the value I would get out of trading in my current Prius. My reasons for trading were to get leather(ette) seats, bluetooth music streaming, and get rid of the split rear window. However, after looking through the threads on this site, I decided that I could get leather seat covers, I could live with bluetooth phone only, and I could live with the split window. My one other want was for a door that closed without sounding tinny - and the V didn't really provide that either. The posts on putting dampening material in the doors should take care of that issue. I've got a little work to do, but it will save me $$$ in the end. Thanks to all who post - I've become a real fan!
