My 2012 Prius V bought new, now has 72K problem free miles. The first year owned, wife and I drove cross country quite easily and very comfortably even though packed to the gills with daugther's belongings who moved from NJ to CA. The only uncomfortable stretch of drive was on the return leg getting up the Rocky Mountains on whatever main interstate we were on. Car was also packed to the gills on return trip because we offered to haul things back to NJ for a nephew. On that interstate highway large trucks passed me even as I had the pedal to the metal, lol.
A concern I had was the Prius V ability to handle snowy NJ winters, as my previous car, a Subaru Forester, now my son's with 260K, was always dependable in winter driving conditions. Interestingly, since owning the Prius V, there have only been one or two snowy winter days per year that I don't risk driving the Prius V, but other than that, once roads are plowed, it does just fine.
I have been fortunate to own or to have owned the '02 Subaru Forester and '12 Prius V and am a big fan of both.
