Great hybrid - 2012 Toyota Prius v
By tobdog - April 20 - 1:41 pmFirst time hybrid owner. Traded a v6 turbo Audi so of course a bit slower but expected. Fun to drive with hybrid feature and great electronics. Kids love the computer display and system. Couple of drawbacks include lack of leather as an option on the v five. Interior is a bit "plastic". Other concern is we are only averaging about 31 mpg after first 60 miles. Hope it improves.

Navigation system - 2012 Toyota Prius v
By eglideman - September 6 - 9:07 amIt was my understanding that Toyota had made changes to the Nav system so it was more user friendly. Im fairly good with gps systems but the voice activation on the Prius V 5 is pretty bad. I even called the dealer to help me and he couldnt help until he talked to his tech on Monday. The vehicle is amazing in every way except that. Up to now I havent been able to find a forum or site that helps in that area.

Love it - 2012 Toyota Prius v
By lizajayne - April 10 - 3:45 pmI love this car. It gave us all that we needed with great gas miles, room for the family and all the bell and whistles that any would want in a car of that price.

Exceeded Expectations - 2012 Toyota Prius v
By springerhills - March 7 - 3:50 amAveraging over 50 mpg until last heat wave, dropped to 48.6 mpg, all in Eco Mode. Much quieter than reviews indicated. Due to longer wheelbase and stabilizing system, just as smooth as 2005 Toyota Sequoia. Able to dictate text messages and search web hands free by double clicking on steering wheel button using on I-phone 4G when plugged into Entune. Ample legroom in back seat and long trips are comfortable as the back seats recline. Everything right where you need it, very well designed vehicle. Whole family (especially skeptical husband) LOVES this vehicle. Its like driving a Macbook Pro.
