2015 Takes a Licking and Keeps On Ticking

2015 Prius Persona Series has 140k on it. Drives easy, with enough pep to roll with obnoxious giant SUVs or pickups on a highway. Great for parking, both parallel and in lots. It has seen all kinds of driving, including snow-packed gravel road; dirt lumber roads; gaping potholes; etc. It does have a low clearance, so, yeah, there are scrapes and dings in the front, but not very noticeable. Interior is comfortable enough, but if you already have orthopedic or other issues, a few hours will get tiresome. Good leg room in rear; have driven with four people with no complaints. Also no issues with cargo space! Have traveled and camped carrying fishing gear, bike helmets, large tent, cooler, extra shoes and gear, duffels, folding chairs. It all fits without obscuring visibility. Mounted load bars and bike rack on top and have traveled hundreds of miles with two bikes. Some minor wind noise and no doubt, diminished mileage, but I can pop the bikes on and off in 5 minutes with a small plastic stool I keep in the back. Cleans up nice! I wipe seats, dash, etc. with only water. The standard floor mats were pathetic from the get-go, being thin, but I still have them. Also pathetic is the front defroster. It will de-ice about 75% of the windshield wiper path, and then only after many minutes. The heating and AC are weak (and always have been, even on a previous Prius). It gets there eventually, but you need to jack the fan to the max if it's 10 degrees F. But I'm rarely in that much of a rush, and can live with these things. Averages high 30s for gas.
