It already has the navigation on it.

I like that I feel very safe in my car. It had two sensors one in the front and the other in the back. It has a slot to charge my Samsung. It very good with gas right now that the gas prices are high. It's very economical! I do not have any dislike to my car I love it!!

I will forever buy a Prius!

Absolutely best buy ever. This car has taken my family and I everywhere. It is comfortable, spacious, great on gas, and circulates the air perfectly on hot days. I hardly ever have to stop and fill my tank anymore for gas. The seats are all very comfortable, and have great seat heaters for the winter. Visibility is great and open, with hardly any blind spots (which is a huge plus for my as I have a child!). Highly recommend for camping as well.

Environmentally friendly and efficient.

My only problem is I wish the gas kicked in faster than they do. I also do not like the shape of the seats they are uncomfortable and in the shape for bad posture. I do like the gas mileage, it saves a lot of money from gas and I have never had a problem with running out of gas because even after it says it is out of gas you've still got quite a few miles to go.

How great is is on gas. I feel like I drive a long time between fill ups

Love the gas mileage. I also really like the cargo space. With the passenger seats down, I can fit a lot in. Feels much bigger when driving than it actually is.

Love the fuel efficiency and the size - it's surprisingly big! My main dislike would be the fact that there are vents in the floor that, if they become clogged, cost $400 each to replace. Not good for people with children who make a mess.

Others should know that they will save a ton on gas with this hybrid vehicle

The reason to buy a Prius.

It is a really quiet car and has helped me save a lot of money spent on gas. I have driven it for 4 years now and it has a lot of mileage on it but I haven't gotten any issues with it even yet. Although, it is pretty difficult and takes time for it to pick up speed, being a hybrid car.

Comfort zone. The voice command. It adds to the safety of listening to music.

I enjoy the reliability of the Prius v, because I travel a lot. Being a hybrid, it goes a long way between fill ups. The range is about 400 hundred miles. It runs smoothly. The only thing I do not like is the driver's seat cushioning. It is very hard. If there were adjustable or inflatable seat cushions built in, the car would be perfect.

Overall, the Toyota Prius V is a great car. A more spacious option in comparison to other Prius models without being overly large. It drives smoothly and is also very fuel efficient.

Affordable hybrid option that offers comfort and ease

That is it a good ride and they should definitely consider looking into it.

I never have any problems with it. The gas mileage is good and it drives smoothly. It can fit enough people comfortably.

My experience with a 2016 Toyota Prius v.

My Toyota 2016 Prius v has outstanding fuel economy, roomy interior with lots of storage, generous cargo capacity, it has a quiet and comfy ride. The only issue is a lackluster acceleration awkward seating position for tall people.. It has a disappointing interior material.

Aisling M

Excellent overall, I would highly recommend!

The car has a very good rear view camera system and is easy to drive. If you have a shorter waist, I would highly recommend a lower car, because it can be difficult to see over the dashboard if you have a shorter waist. But this car is definitely worth the investment!

Should you buy a Toyota Prius.

Great car for gas mileage and that is why I intentionally bought it for. Have driven in rain, ice, snow and drives great. Has a great stereo in it. The disadvantages of owning a Prius is at times I think it is all plastic. Also, I think it sits way too low and close. To the ground. Seems like it is made of plastic. It is a very reliable and dependable car. It sits way to close to the ground.

Amazing gas mileage and optimization of cargo space.

Gas mileage is great. Comfortable back row seating with options to lower seat back to make more room for large purchases large back cargo area well designed. Great for city living. Ease of finding parking spaces with optimal cargo space. Good for families has the best safety features without sacrificing size.

Cute, not expensive, great mileage Prius.

Our Prius basically has no problems, my husband is good getting the best mileage when driving in the highway, not so much in the city. A little squeaky brakes when raining, it is noisy since the floor is near to the road and there is not much of luxury in it, very economically dressed. But ours has a sunroof and good enough features like electric windows, child proof doors, etc.

Yes it’s a very reliable and convenient vehicle. Affordable gas spending and does not need a lot to fill a tank. It never fails me unlike my old Camry

How Reliable Is The 2016 Toyota Prius v?

It’s reliable as far as I am concerned I've never had an issue with it. Even flat tires are an easy fix on this vehicle and they don't take much effort. The servicing does well for every 6 months

Is The 2016 Toyota Prius v A Good Value?

It costs 15,000 brand new. To me it’s worth the cost because of its reliability and safety. The interior and technology is also remarkably innovative
