Picked our newest addition up on Saturday: spent 2-1/2 hours at the dealer reviewing the car's features then drove 52 miles (mostly highway) home...averaged 46 mpg w a ride quieter, smoother, and nicer than I imagined! At almost 5'5", I found the firm seats extremely comfortable, love the power lumbar support, Bluetooth/iPhone, and nav system A heap of gratitude to those who run and post on this site: the info I learned prior to purchasing enabled me to among other things, have the reverse internal beeper changed to one and the seatbelt beeps turned off Many, many thanks!
Congrats on your purchase! We've had our v for over a year now and we're still very happy with our decision.
I wasn't too happy with the view out the rear window on the liftback. The view out the "v" is totally clear. I think that it is foolish for those who put things and stuffed animals in the rear window to block the rear view to do so.
Welcome to the Red Prius v Three owners club. Love ours too. Only getting 40-42 mpg up here in Omaha, but 47-48 mpg was the norm in non-snow months. All weather mats, bumper protector and mud flaps are a must have BTW. The cargo net is a 50/50. Seems to be too near to the door at times. All are available here in the Prius Shop for a good price.
I can say previously owning a gen 2 I liked the split window, I rarely had 'high beam' issues, I also miss seeing so low, although all versions of the v have a back up camera to show you what you miss out that lower window.
