Love this little car
I've owned this car for seven years and the only thing I've done to it was regular maintenance items. The only reason I'm getting rid of it is because I bought another Prius, the larger Prius V. I sold my Prius to a family with 2 children. They were the first people to look at it and they loved it. It's been almost a year now and I recently talked to the new owner and she said it's running great and she and her husband both are very happy with it.

The Demise of the Pri-Pri
My mom bought her new in 2010; then I inherited her when I got my license in 2021. This little car is capable of a lot more than people like to give credit for. In nearly 3 years of driving her, I have put on ~44,000 miles, which includes 2 trips to South Florida (Key West in Nov '22 and Everglades in March '23), and an extensive camping trip in the NC Mountains, all of which included varying degrees of all-terrain driving. I live hard, drive hard (so did my mom), and the Prius just would not quit. Until I totaled her by gliding into the rear of a Highlander at 15 MPH-- 4 days before my 18th birthday (it was a weird yield intersection, and I was looking left at oncoming traffic-- not at the car that had stopped at a yield sign). It was a very minor fender-bender... for the other people, who continued on their merry way less a rear reflector-- but the poor Prius had to be towed: such a low-speed collision caused the Hybrid System to malfunction, so that the only gear which worked was Neutral. The demise was so... disappointing... anticlimactic; there are cars driving around On a Street Near You that look worse than does my late Prius. So that's how it is. She loses a star for such a mediocre demise. But it's not her fault. It is the fault of the Insurance Demons who declared her a total loss. Let this be a Cautionary Tale: if you're going to total your Prius, do it Thelma-and-Louise-style.

Love my Prius
This is a great car. It has a large cargo capacity (20 bags of mulch). It has been totally reliable and has not cost a penny more than maintenance for oil changes, tire rotations, and a set of new tires.

Love our Prius
We have a 2010 Prius III. Loved it from the start. It has as much head room as our mini van or more. We haul it loaded full Illinois to Florida and back Fall and Spring and get on average 48 mpg overall. That surprised me with driving the interstates most of the way at 70 mph a lot. Definitely will get another one for our next car. When I see the price of gas going up it doesn't bother me nearly as much as it used to. With getting over twice the mpg as my previous vehicles, I figure $4/gal gas is like paying $2/gal.
