Bought it in 2012 and passed 12K already. 1. This car does save gas, especially, if you work provides you electricity. 2. The GPS interface and disabling most of the features while in motion pisses of, even passenger couldn't do anything. 3. Absence of the spare tire is a big minus, the "repair kit" is useless: unreliable and very expensive. I ended up buying a full size spare for the same price! 4. Firmware algorithm allows your engine run while warming up in electrical mode w/out it being connected to transmission or charging the battery - fuel waste. Summary - if you do not need a carpool sticker at CA then buy yourself something more driver friendly, or wait another 5 years.

With a super low lease price and electricity in our area under $.10 a kwh, this was a no-brainer! We live and work within 5 miles of just about everything we need, so the 12 mile range on all electric is perfect! We have an 8 yr old and a 2 yr old in a car seat, and they both fit fine in the back, even behind me at 6'2" Lots of space in the hatchback, and lots of nice features included in the base model. Have driven nearly 1,000 miles and the lifetime average is 55mpg (all electric miles included bumps up the mpg a bit).

It has been a great car. It gets great mileage. Is comfortable to drive. The driver's view is pretty bad. It is hard to tell where the corners are. Look around in a parking lot. Most Priuses of this style have beat up bumpers - there is a reason for that. The last annual state inspection cost a bundle (probably about half the value of the vehicle). New rotors, calipers, and pads all around. Some rusted brake lines. Leaking exhaust at some gasket. It all added up to well over $2k. But no other expenses and the year is half over. This mud season the plastic shield under the right front fender got separated and half of the shield on the left side tore off. The Prius does not have muddy road clearance. I can replace the plastic with after market ones fairly cheaply. The dealer charges about five or six times the cost of DIY and it doesn't take much time or effort to replace them. But it will still cost about $100. Because of Vermont's s draconian inspection rules the rocker panels of any Prius over 10 years old will condemn it to junk. We lost both our 2010 and 2014 PHEV in the next round of annual inspections after the rules changed. They were both in great operating condition and would go many more miles safely, but not allowed to in VT.

Had the car 4 years and this is my second Prius under my ownership. I love the gas mileage of the car with combined 74 mpg (plug-in and gas), however, there are couple downsides of the car. 1) Approximately 12 miles of EV is outdated and not suitable for commuters that needs about 25 miles round trip. 2) Rattling noise that I have observed couple times but unable to fix by the dealer. 3) Not enough lumber support in long road trip.

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.
