The Prius V will reduce your gas bill by more than half. But you will have to put up with half the power and the all of the Prius haters out there. Some will say that it is like driving a coffee maker but you don’t double the gas mileage and not give up anything. The Prius V has almost the same amount of room as the CR-V. Prii are top notch in reliability if you believe Consumerreports.
You don’t replace your brakes until 150k miles. And 99% of their batteries (2nd and 3rd gens)make it past 200k miles.
