    Hello everyone,
    We just purchased a 2016 Prius V3 with 20k mileage. It's our first hybrid and eighth Toyota. As we live in Southern California, the traffic pretty much demanded this purchase. I'm looking forward to the learning curve and perhaps diving a little deeply into your fascinating resource. Take care.

    Welcome to the group :)

    Our '16 v is only a year old, but have about 29 K on it. 25k was put on in 2 1/2 months touring the lower 48 and Canada. NO issues to date.

    Welcome @Ripcurrent to this excellent forum. About your age but had my Prius just over one year in Cornwall Old England UK. Think mine's the best thing since sliced bread and I'm sure you'll get to love yours also. (y)

    Welcome!

    I am sure you will enjoy the excellent gas mileage and hauling capacity.
    My son has a 2015 Prius v 5 with almost 50K miles. This is his second Prius. He finds the added space of the Prius v very helpful as he transports his dogs to dog shows.

    I an getting used to the complexity of my year old Prius. Do not let all the technology distract you. Just drive it reasonably and be amazed.

    Here is a link to the Prius v forums. You may find some help in the Generation 3 forum applies to your car too. The Generation 3 Prius ended in 2015 but the Prius v is based on the Generation 3 technology.

    Welcome...

    We bought our 2016 Prius v Three about a year and a half ago. We absolutely love the car with its large cargo capacity and very good gas mileage.

    Welcome to PriusChat, and congratulations on getting your Prius! …but, as I've said many, many times, beware! PriusChat can be addictive! ;)
