    I just pulled the trigger & made a deal on a 2014 Prius v! I have 3 Toyotas - 2002 Sienna XLE which is now for sale, a 2006 Tacoma Sport 4 door which is currently my primary vehicle (I love it when I need it as a truck but I shudder when I pull up to the pump, it's my daily driver too & I'm averaging 15.4 mpg which stinks) and lastly, my wife has a 2009 RAV4 Limited which we love but it too only gets 23.1 mpg on average.

    I'm really excited about the Prius - I have 2 kids that play hockey so I needed a vehicle I can get 2 bags into. Let the adventure begin. I'll post pictures when I take delivery of it next week.

    I'm really loving the warm welcome with the hockey flavor! Thanks! I'm looking forward to taking delivery next week & cruising past gas stations!

    I have taken my three teenagers to hockey in my v. Everything but the sticks fit easily. I put the sticks in, carefully.

    That's very good to hear. We do gave GRIT bags though & they are quite large & inflexible.

    Someone needs to do a mod so that the rear armrest can become a pass through. This would solve the hockey stick problem and also allow carrying skis while allowing 2 people to sit easily in the back.

    My sticks just rest on atop the rear seatbacks, blades beneath front seatbacks.

    Interesting to see the changes over the past 2 years in trim levels. Canadian models are slightly different in trim features obviously. In Canada we get Base, Luxury, Touring and Technology Package. I got the 2012 luxury package which came standard with resin moonroof, 16" wheels, softex, no foglights, basic display audio. Looks kind of odd to see a loaded out v with no resin roof. I kind of prefer the all Blizzard Pearl look without the blacked out roof as on my v, that said i love the resin moonroof when driving to let in some extra light. Feels like i'm driving a convertible without the wind messing up my hair or bugs getting in the car. :D
    Is the moonroof just an option or does it only come on the tech package now?

    It's an option on the 3 & 5 packages I believe.

    Congrats on your purchase! We've had our v5 for over 2 years and have accumulated over 15,000 trouble-free miles. It's a great vehicle ... lifetime average of 42.6mpg on ours.
