I bought two 3rd Gen 2011 Prii end of October, one for me, and one for the wife. This was her idea. Well, the V wasn't out yet, and I thought I would be fine in the 3g Prius. My job as a medical sales rep in surgery requires me to carry a lot of stuff. The 3g was fine BUT... I stopped in at my Toyota dealership today. I test drove the V, and that was it. I absolutely love the car. An hour later I was transferring all my stuff over to the V. I really loved the third gen, but for me the V is just perfect. I love the reclining rear seats, and all the room in there over the 3g. The dash on the V is much better IMOP, and the center console was a bit of a pain on the 3G. The V has a much better design. So, I'm glad to be here in the V forum. What an amazing vehicle!
Great info, as I am a Zimmer rep myself and was wondering how this car would play out in our crazy world. Seqouia is just killing me on gas doing 50k miles annually. Now if only I can find one!
Wow, I love the V! First full day of driving, and I'm not all packed in. The car handles great, is quiet, and the blue tooth touch screen stereo, with back up camera is fantastic. I love it! I loved the 3gen I had, but this car is so sweet. Driver's seat is more comfortable, and the telescopic wheel is awesome. The pearl looks great too. Toyota out did themselves again.
I picked up mine yesterday. I sat this evening staring puzzled at my fuel gauge showing still full after 2 days of driving. Coming from my 20 mpg Odyssey where I'd now be down by a quarter tank it's hard to believe! W
