    Just wanted to share- for families with 3 kids wondering if the v is big enough.
    We have 3 kids ages 8, almost 7 and almost 4. And they LOVE our new Prius v! They have ample room in the 2nd row and they love that 2nd row the seats lay back. And it easily holds all our soccer bags and coach gear. And I can pick them up and drive them to/from school and to all their sports rockin super awesome mpg! ❤️
    I just made a 20 mile drive from the grocery to school and got 58mpg :) So much fun!

    We have three girls 14, 13, and 11. It is getting to be a pretty tight fit for them in our 2014 Prius V. Works for putzing around town, but we take the Sienna when we need to go further than an hour!

    Don't try it for multi-hour trips. 4, 8, 10 and they are all right for a half hour, then start to get irritated with each other even if they are watching a movie on a tablet. With just the 8 and 10, all is fine.

    We rented a 3 row van for a 3 hour trip with beach stuff for a week. There are times I don't care about MPG but silence is golden.
