I love this car for many reasons. It just makes logical sense. It's reliable, it doesn't depreciate that much, it's safe, and no one steals this car because hybrids and electric car parts are in low demand and hard to interchange with other cars. In terms of electric features, I don't use it nearly as much as I should because I don't have a charger at home and as much as SoCal supports electric vehicles, I still don't have many use cases where I'm charging in public. I've owned a BMW in the past and I have to say, it's nowhere near as luxurious, but at the same time, I don't have to worry about it breaking down or having a costly repair.
The Car that keeps on Driving!

Great car. Lots of space when seats are down. Very comfortable. I put the two sided seat down in the back and then I sleep in the car. I enter and exit from the position of the single seat up. I also use that space to change clothes. BEWARE: If you touch the "touch screen" on the navigational system too hard (how hard can a finger push?" the screen will crack. It has happened to many. Toyota did NOTHING to help. Dealer estimate to fix....$13,000.00 to fix. You heard that correctly. Happened on year three of owning the car. No one was willing to help. Finally, 3 years later, I found a place to replace the screen for $500.00. Two years of not being able to use my expensive touch screen system.

Perfectly Boring for the long haul

A few aftermarket upgrades make the prius plugin advanced a longterm ownership go from a blessing to an even better blessing: subwoofer under passenger seat, sway bar/strut bar/midchassis brace, minor soundproofing, spare tire for long trips, loud horn, tinted windows. Best car!... Perfectly boring! Update July 2017: hit 84k miles recently. Car drives as smooth and trouble free as usual. Occasional glitch with Bluetooth from my phone. Either restarting phone or car, or combo of both resolves this. Got rear ended on Mother's Day- the Mazda3 that hit me had bad visible damage - the Prius headrest prevented worse injuries to my neck, my back is still going through rough times, the car sustained more internal body damage than ugly, external body damage. Car drove fine even after accident and is still in the body shop currently. Compared to my loaner, I really miss the Prius!!! Fast forward to July 2018. I’ve hit 110k miles and have since upgraded shocks to Koni FSD and increased soundproofing with strategically placed pieces of Dynamat. This car is a joy to drive and is a sleeper on the road. Can keep up and out corner the best of them. Paint is holding up with great shine, eco friendly seating material looks new and fresh, plastic on dash which is eco friendly also is easy to clean and looks like new. Partner just got a 2016 Camry SE Hybrid and loves it - feels like a higher quality hybrid, but I enjoy the modest feel of the Prius, still. Be realistic about what a car is for and this will become one of your favorites, too.
