    I'm interested in buying a Prius V -- want to buy hybrid for environmental reasons and also like reliability of Toyotas. But I also love the visibility you get from a Subaru Forester or Outback. I haven't test-driven a Prius V yet; does anyone know which years have best visibility (i.e., the least blind spots)? I test drove a Matrix wagon and couldn't stand the big blind spots. I'm thinking of a 2012-2015 model since I can't afford a new car. I know that design changes from year to year can make a big difference with visibility, so I'm hoping to narrow down my choices by the year that has best visibility since that's important to me. Thanks for any advice!

    There being only one model of Prius v wagon, there is no difference in sight lines or visibility, unless owner-modified.
