Traded in my 2010 for a new 2012 v2 silver base model. And, I love it! Only had 22,000 miles on the other, but liked the new front dash configuration, and extra space in back. And it is QUIET! No rattles from anywhere! Base model even has heated mirrors and rear camera! Had to remove my push button shifter, but I'll put it on ebay. I do like the new shifter located on the dash, will try something different looking there, tho. I even think my 15" snow wheels and tires will still fit this even tho they have 16" wheels now. Hubs and discs appear the same size, only tire profiles changed. I'll let you know. Not much in accessories yet, but I will add side marker signals like on my other, and already change the emblem backers to red on back and green on front.
It's 2012. The 2012 liftback (as Toyota sometimes refer to the regular Prius) will have the backup camera too. Anyway, I'm glad you're happy and I hope PriusChat soon gets a new member with a 2010 with 22k miles.
Take note one 2012 regular thread mentions backup camera in the Two, the other thread says it is added in the Three. Prius experts, does the 2012 regular Pri Two get the backup camera like the v Two?
$15k, which I thought was OK for 2 yrs driving, paid $19k orig., had big stain on the dash. All else was primo.
