Prius Level Status

Well I wouldn't put it that way but the Five with ATP was the only Prius we considered and I don't think we have been alone in that. We didn't buy our Prius v because it was a Prius or a hybrid. We bought it because it was the only Toyota branded vehicle with the Pre-Collision System that was small enough for my wife to be comfortable driving. The only other Toyota branded vehicles with available Pre-Collision in 2012 were the Sienna and Land Cruiser and they were far too large for my wife.

The Pre-Collision System was also a main driver in our purchase of a Sienna with ATP in April. My wife almost never drives it due to its size and when she does (only once since purchase), I am with her to help.

If the Prius v had not been available with PCS, we would have bought another brand of vehicle with a similar system.
