    For the same price? I'd buy the 2016. As far as I'm concerned, a Prius is an all-you-can-drive mileage buffet for the first 12-14 years. Therefore that one year is worth more than the 30k mileage difference.

    The 2016 is a whole generation newer with improved ride and better mileage. Clear winner!

    both great cars. drive each and see which you like better.
    any ownership/accident history?
    does the '16 have a spare tire?

    how long years/miles would you like to keep her?

    Well the 2015 is Gen3 has spare tire and oodles of cargo space.
    The 2016 Four I forget if that is the one with a spare tire or not...something to be aware of

    If you're a car audio guy... The 12v is in the back of the '15, which is really nice. :)
