3rd Prius added to the fleet.

Love a Prius. Big Bang for your buck. Forget the stereotypes...go drive one. Buy one. Enjoy the extra gas money in your pocket! These cars go for 200,000 miles easily.

2008 Toyota Prius

Incredible car. No issues. Great on gas mileage. Only have to change the oil. I am the second owner of this vehicle and have taken great care of it.

Very reliable and low maintenance, a keeper...

The car was purchased new, it has been the best car I have owned. I am now 66 yrs old. we have 155k on the car now, it remains low maintenance and still comes in at 42mpg for mostly city driving. It is still air tight and rattle free, the interior is durable and comfortable. the down side, there have been repeated issues with the headlights, the bulbs do not last, annually it seems one or the other will need changing. It is something you'd better be prepared to do because the dealer will skin you alive for parts and labor...there is now at 12 yrs use also a fair amount of water accumulating in the rear spare tire area, battery indent, I drilled small holes thru the floor to drain as I could not determine where it was coming from.

Great car for the money

This car is used on a daily basis. I have owned a 2008 before and currently own a 2013. Very dependable cars. These hybrids are great cars.

My favorite car

My Prius has been unbelievably reliable for 11 years. Saves money on gas, comfortable, good in snow, handles big loads like furniture or a dishwasher. I wish I could clone this car.

Best mileage car I ever owned

This car's best feature is it's mileage. Love saving money at the gas station! It's a comfortable car and has enough room with the seats down to put a large dog crate in the hatch. Suits my needs.

Reliable, safe, hi tech

More room than my Jaguar Van Dan Plas Drives quietly and maneuvers well in all weather and road conditions. Gas mileage is the best. This is our 'go to' car.
