 Favorite feature:

Smart key and mileage

 Least favorite feature:

Driver position and harsh bumps with the larger tires.

 Advice to buyer:

So far so good - don't expect a sports car and be willing to pay a high price for the extras.

 Detailed review:

We've put almost 3000 miles on our Prius V. We love the look, the mileage and the driveability. We opted for the V knowing that because of the larger tires our mileage and comfort might suffer, but we're happy with the trade off. We're averaging about 42 overall and the ride is rough over bumpy roads. The handling is super with the larger tires. Overall so far so good. The interior is very spacious, more so than our '02 Camry. The Smart Key is great and the back up camera works well - you need it because rear visability is not good. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the lower seat position of the driver, you have no idea where the front end of the car is!! I'm sure it's that way in most newer vehicles. Overall we are enjoying the Prius. The biggest drawback is the price of the V - ouch!
