Used Toyota Prius v for Sale near Berkeley, CA

Had a 2012 Prius V 3, got the 2017 Prius V 5 with all the bells and whistles. Car has more power, is quieter and has many new features. I love it.

The Prius V is roomy for driver and passengers. It controls were easy to use. I had a little difficulty seeing the fuel gauge, but other displays were highly visible even set off to the middle of the dash. Driving was smooth and the power mode overcomes any of the models ordinary sluggishness in acceleration.

I went from a 2006 Prius to the 2012 Prius V. The ride in the V is smoother, quieter, vehicle feels heavier, more grounded. Cargo space is larger. The back seats move forward and back separately and also recline. Even though the back side windows are more streamlined, the mirrors accommodate and the visibility is good. The 2012 V with opt pkg 2 had the features most important to me: b/u camera, Bluetooth, cloth seats and smart key. The smart key feature was confusing when shopping. Key-less entry is not the same as smart key, although they are often used interchangeably in vehicle descriptions. Smart key has a chip in the door handle which allows the doors to be locked/unlocked without having the key in hand. On my opt pkg 2 only the drivers door has this chip, while my old Prius had chips in the 2 front doors and in the back hatch handle. A slight inconvenience but not a deal-breaker. One of the first things I did was change the door lock setting so that all doors unlock simultaneously. I imagine the default is to have only the drivers door unlock for safety reasons, but it is a source of frustration for me. I am very happy with my purchase, love my Prius V. Thanks CarGurus for helping me shop from home.

No one who owns a Prius v wants to let go of it because it’s very reliable, comparatively inexpensive to maintain and as a hybrid delivers excellent mileage.

It’s unique in that it has plenty of room , much more than regular Prius, great mileage, quality interior, looks good and plenty of acceleration when needed, price I believe was a good value , 2 year drive train warranty included and checklist of 200 inspection points - only 55,000 miles
