    I would only consider a 2015-17 v due to bad rings in the earlier models. Many believe the gen2s are more reliable but obviously have more years and miles as a rule. Be sure to read through the Prius v forums.

    I have about 115,000 miles on both, the 2009 will get better gas mileage, but the v is roomier, smoother, faster and quieter.
