This car is incredibly spacious, comfortable and easy to drive.

I love the space. It's still compact and easy to park. It's a hybrid so great gas mileage. Very comfortable.

Lita B

The car is flexible, reliable and dependable good on mileage a good family car with great options to travel with safety and stability no worries it's been very low maintenance the car has been a breath of fresh air for my family and I. It's great on gas good on the road great for camping near and far excellent with the kids travelling on the road on family vacations.

The must buy Toyota! Fun for everyone.

I love the great gas mileage that I get. My Prius is super quiet and has a peppy acceleration. It also comes with curtain airbags to keep my family safe. I would buy another Prius.

Michael F

It is seats recline very far back.

I am very happy with my vehicle. It was sold for a good price, and it works well. Maintenance is not needed often, and I change my own oil. It is comfortable and has plenty of room for my stuff when traveling. In terms of reliability, it is a great car and I am confident it will not let me down.

Jason L

Lasts a long time, and super reliable.

The reason I bought this Prius is because the last one I had never broke down. The gas costs were so low because of the great mileage, I was able to save on gas equal to the payment I was making. Buying this new Prius v is even better. I have more room, and it is just as reliable as the first one I had. I upgraded the seat covers to neoprene that were custom made for the car since I wasn't able to find the model with leather seats. The fuse keeps going out on my lighter plug, but it is probably because I keep trying to use a converter or power up things. I am considering a hybrid SUV from Toyota for my next car, but the Prius is a solid reliable car. Nothing fancy, but functional and reliable.

Toyota Prius v is a great car, although no longer made.

The Toyota Prius v is truly a great car, especially for moving harps. The gas mileage is wonderful, it is a hybrid, and has plenty of cargo space for harps and more! I have had it for 2 years, and have had no difficulties with it, just oil changes. It handles beautifully on the road in all seasons, especially snow.

Amber S

You can't hear the outside. A very quiet car.

This car has got me everywhere. Very reliable, not many problems at all if any. It's also a very quiet car, with a great stereo. Good quality car.

Ysabel Y

The gas lasts long time and the price is good to refill it

We love our car especially when we go on long vacations because the gas is good. The only thing is the trunk I wish was a little bigger to fit the big stroller we have with our luggage.

Negative Owner Reviews

This car has a cool interior and is a nice drive

The first thing that attracted me was the comfortable interior: it is quite spacious. Also a nice drive: takes minimal time to accelerate and switch between gears.

Andrea L

Reliable but boring - you will not win any car races with this one.

The car is fine. I appreciate the good mileage, it just is very unexciting to drive. It is definitely reliable. I haven't had any issues with it. I just recently replaced the original tires. It is almost too quiet. It has very little pick up. It is fine for city driving.

Tamara A

Great gas mileage, but not a family car. Not enough room in back seat to have car seats. But if you are a small family, the gas mileage is a definite pro in this car.

Love the gas mile. 350 -400 miles per tank. But not enough room in back seat. My son has a hard time getting in and out of car seat. Wished the USB port charged better.

Pros and Cons of Owning and Driving Prius V

Like the gas mileage and reliability, however find it difficult to see out of the rear and side rear, either when backing up or changing lanes. This is even though I am using the backup camera which in this model is not very clear. Also, when the car is put into reverse, a dinging sound goes off INSIDE THE.CABIN, which makes impossible to hear if someone outside the car is honking, like a warning honk to stop backing up, or if a pedestrian would be trying to yell to warn you they are there. The combination of these two factors makes this vehicle potentially deadly, so beware. The dealer claims the cabin ding cannot be disabled.

Bring the Prius v back please!

Great car. The usual Toyota dependability we’re all accustomed to buy now. Wish Toyota didn’t discontinue it in 2017. Would have gotten a newer year model in a heartbeat. Please bring the Prius v back Toyota. Love the mpg and the amount of cargo & passenger space.

Pros from Owners

Andrea T.

Gas efficiency, smooth, quiet, hugs to road pretty well, more spacious than you realize, reliable. Smart technology makes connecting my phone easy. Built in navigation helps for when I need to see where I am going instead of looking at my phone.

Betsy G.

Good gas mileage even in stop and go city/rush hour commuting traffic. Toyota's are known to last forever with few big, significant issues. Regular maintenance and over 200,000 miles is a real possibility.

Katherine E.

Great mileage and super energy efficient. Runs smoothly. Great family car. Amazing trunk space. Stereo system works great. Has a CD option as well. Push start. Wipers in back as well, USB adapters, child locks, battery charges when you break. I love the hybrid.

Cons from Owners

Andrea T.

If you do not have the eco button on, the amount of gas it uses is ridiculous. Sometimes the Bluetooth does not connect and it is annoying so by the time I get to my destination...There's still no connection.

Betsy G.

I find the navigation to be pretty bad. I'd rather it had a CarPlay radio so I would be able to use Google or Apple maps. Those two programs are heads and tails above the Toyota maps. There are too many missing locations. I am also not in love with the fact that I cannot seem to change the brightness at night.

Katherine E.

Takes getting used to not having a key start and wish it had a little more space inside. Have to push a button to park just like the on and off button. The reverse and drive option is also up by the start button so that takes time getting used to as well not having it by the steering wheel. Cannot figure out how to use the maps app on the screen.

Is The 2014 Toyota Prius v A Good Car?

Yes, it is fuel efficient and excellent for the work I do on the side pertaining to food delivery. This is the best car I have driven.

Zachary S.

Yes! I absolutely love it. The gas mileage is great, and it is reliable. It is my primary car, and I never have to worry about it.

Olivia L.

Yes and no. It is great on gas mileage but hard to see out the windows so a little hard to drive in the city.

Marty H.

Yes it's a good vehicle. Love gas mileage, and color. Have not had any complications. Would like to upgrade.

Wade R.

How Reliable Is The 2014 Toyota Prius v?

Yes; I have not had any major issues beyond some cosmetic problems. I have replaced the tires a couple times but have gotten a lot out of it in over 151000 miles.

Zachary S.

Yes very reliable! I have literally never had any issues with it. I even bought it used, but you would not be able to tell.

Olivia L.

Hard to see out the back and side windows creating a lot of blind spots which cause accidents if you cannot see other vehicles or pedestrians.

Marty H.

Yes the 2014 Toyota Prius v is reliable. No I have not had any problems with the Toyota Prius V. Good car

Mark C.

Is The 2014 Toyota Prius v A Good Value?

$28000; it has been a good value for fuel mileage, but I have sunk a lot of mileage into it and owe more than it is worth.

Zachary S.

I purchased mine used and I believe it was about $14,000. And yes! Great value! It will probably run for several years to come unless something crazy happens.

Olivia L.

It was $15,900. It was an ok value. You save a ton of money on gas costs but because of limited view out the windows you may get into more accidents.

Marty H.

The 2014 Toyota Prius V costed about $24,000. Its has been a good value. I have saved lots of money in gas.
