Outstanding Value!
 I reduced my rating on climate control. When cold weather came I tried to use heater. There is no switch for just the heater. Just A.C. So I put on Auto and could get heat by raising temp control but only to feet. Either the controls are just to confusing or there is not a button for this. The seat heater control is to low and dangerous to use. It requires bending over to see and push taking your eyes away from highway. It also does not have an automatic turn off when you turn car off but stays on even when you turn off car and restart. But overall the Prius V-5 is an outstanding car with exception of above. I would recommend having a larger battery system to be able to use battery drive only for more that just a couple of hundred yards. If you want a SUV Hybrid with lots of room, excellent mileage, comfortable seats, excellent visibility, really good storage space, good mileage, but not the price of Luxury car this one is for you. The car rides smoothly enough as a non luxury car but could be better at low speeds. We have a Lexus H450 also. We replaced our NXT with the L450 which is the RX350 but a hybrid.  Our Prius V has excellent mileage if you use the ECO setting.  I average above the estimated mileage of 41 to around 44.  Of course on ECO setting you have to realize the power will be much lower when you need acceleration. But when I found I needed power to enter an on ramp it was there and did very well. The storage is in rear is outstanding as well room in back seat. My wife loves all the storage space in glove compartment, number of cup holders, and other storage space. The video display is small. I also do not like the back up camera. It only peeps when in reverse it does not give you actual audio warning how close you are backing up only a color guide. The screen for backing up needs to be not only larger but a wider view of oncoming cars.  I wanted to add a towing package but this model does not come with one. I only wanted a receiver hitch to put a bike carrier on. I do triathlons and need a way to carry bike easier. I use the back storage now with back seats down. The controls for safety are on the left side of dash and are too low. You cannot see them to operate them. They should be higher and more easily seen. The gas tank is small. Even though you get excellent mileage the tank is 12 gallons. My wife wants to get a Telsa for herself and replace her L450 (brand new) and said I could have her 450. I said I really like my car and though L450 more luxury I prefer my Prius V-5. One thing I did not know and not listed as a feature. We have a sun roof. It is really large and allows a view for both front and back passengers. It does not open though. I discovered if I park the car in the sun with the moon roof open when I return the moon roof shade is closed. I thought I had just forgot and closed it but I intentionally parked in the sun and then returned to find the sun shade closed on it's own. This is an excellent feature to keep car cool when parked in the sun (we live in Florida). Another feature I would like to see is passenger seat controls which are manual to electrical and add an up and down control as well as lumbar. Would really help with front seat passenger comfort. I would purchase the car again without hesitation. And really been the best car with best features for the best price. If Toyota would just change the above it would move from an excellent car to an outstanding car.
