Prius v: 100,000 Mile Club

My Prius v- bought 7/4/13 2290 miles.

 

Update. 220100

 

I have a 2012 V that I got late fall early winter and I have over 15K on it now. Looking to break 25K per year with business traveling.

 

I take mine in for 30,000 mile oil change friday, I got it August 30, 2012

 

2fas4u: this is just incredibly cool! i've been following you from the gen 2 prius you had and now this. love reading your updates and posts about the new V. I have a 2012 model two prius hatch. i like the V space, just wish it was all wheel drive and a bit more power.

Did you ever look into a Highlander hybrid or the Camry Hybrid? any thoughts about those with putting on these kind of miles?

 

I would think the camry might be more comfortable, long term, long rides. nice large up front area in highlander too, though nothing close to this kind of mileage.

 

1/3 of the way to 100,000

 

Halfway there - 50000

 

I took it in for 40,000 on 1/6/2014

 

Today marks 1 year for me with my Priusv I purchased it through Dianne Whitmire in Carson after reading so many awesome reviews and it was so smooth and she is the best.
I have 86,761 miles as of today running about 8-10k miles a month will post pic real soon when I hit 100K.

Dang, that picture looks like it was taken in a studio LOL.

 

10,000 miles a month?

Wow.

 

118778 as of 04/22/14
new tires purchased at costco bridgestone turanza but different model not happy with mpg
I am getting under 40 at highway speeds of 63 with my other tires I was getting 48mpg.
It could be the tire pressure the techs set it to I am going to up the pressure to 40 and see how it goes if not these tires need to go

One of my low beams went out and a plate light as well I drive mostly at night as I work graveyard.
Will be changing out ATF oil @ 120

 

wow

 

Update 127195
The bridgestone turanza serenity plus were returned the pressure did not help my mpg after 6k miles
I asked the sales person why the tire were not giving me great mpg they stated the tire was heavier than OEM
It was a very nice smooth tire but not if you drive how I do I was losing 2 gallons of gas a day I was livid..

I bought some continental pure contact eco plus through tire rack and had a local shop install them
I asked them to put the pressure to 42 / 40 after 2,000 miles I noticed my mpg were still off last night I checked my tire pressure it was 30 / 33 moral of the story double check tire pressure.
I filled them up to 44 /42 and amazingly my mpg is now on point loving my priusv once again.

I had husband change my spark plugs / atf oil @ 120K

will update when I get to 150K
