Hello Prius Enthusiasts! This is my first post and I see you have a forum with wealth of information: We're looking for a new family car. This will be the "mom-mobil". For now driving range would be 10k-11k miles per year, combination of typical USA suburbs traffic, between North Atlanta, GA area (some hills+some heat) and Chicago,IL suburbs. Typical load: mom and 2 kids (+ kids stuff) with probably additional kid on a play date. Style of driving: mild (not sport-aggressive, not sleapy-head) Desired ownership range: 10+ years (fellow co-drivers on the road helping....... (cross fingers)) So for now, the 2015 Prius two/three catch our eye, but we don't really figure out the differences. We saw the Pris V Five seems to be rated lower in mileage, but with a larger trunk area.. Before some butt time at a dealer, we wanted to get informed.: -used or new -financed or not (or alternatives) -if used, extra warranty? -if used, things to look for -tires for grip (i know we may sacrifice some mpg against the LRR, but with so many cuckoo-heads on the roads....) Current fleet: 2008 Toyota Yaris Sedan AT, 56k miles (original owner), 2013 Mazda5 Touring AT (56k miles, about 32k miles ours). The Prius is supposed to replace the Yaris Thank you for your help
