Has anyone switched from a 5 door Prius to a Prius v?

    I'm just starting to look at my next option for a car/crossover. I have a 12 Prius model two. I want something a little larger, more backseat room, more room upfront too. I am a larger person, almost 6 ft 300 lbs. I feel a bit cramped in the front seat of my car. Will the v feel different in the front seat? I don't want to jump and get a cross over. I won't be happy with the mileage. I wish the v came with awd and a bit more umph.

    260 pounds, 6'2" here. I have tested the interior of both vehicles and my verdict is the v. Mind you, the lift back is definitely on the spacious side i.e., it had plenty of space to accommodate my frame behind the steering wheel. That being said, the v is another story - tons of space above you and around you.

    Make sure to test-drive both vehicles.

    Good luck!
