 I bought my Prius V for its roominess and fuel economy.Then I found it lacked a lot in handling. Better than a Prius sedan but still lacking. The long body is a "dishrag", begging to be stiffened.Luckily I found "Juiced Hybrid" in Redwood City, CA and the parts I needed to make it go really handle as it should.Now, with all handling parts installed it handles FAR better and is much safer in emergency maneuvers.I've installed:1. three underbody stiffener braces 2. 17" ENKEI RPF1 wheels and Yokohama V rated 215/50/17 tires3. front and rear sway bars4. strut tower bar5. 5% stiffer and 1" lower coil springs6. INJEN cold air intake system with MAF sensor attachment port (slightly more power and slightly better highway mpg.)I've installed some electronics mods:1. Prius V specific LED fog lights2. LED running lights (in the grille)3. shark fin antenna (body color matched)4. LED interior lights5. hard-wired line for my Garmin GPS 6. LED lighted rear bumper lights replaced the reflectors My next hybrid will likely be a Toyota RAV. I need more road clearance and AWD. Plus the hybrid RAV 4 is much quicker than my Prius v.Toyota needs to improve its hybrid electric motors. More POWER is needed!BUT... after driving the Hyundai Ionic hybrid I would definitely purchase it over any Prius if I got another hybrid sedan.
