Junk! Brakes are Prone to Fail, and $3500 to Fix

I purchased the vehicle as a college car for my daughter, and it one day kicked off a C1391 warning code. An internal leak in the brake actuation system which consists of 3 separate parts each costing $600+ each, and 5.8 hours of labor to replace. So potentially $3k plus for a brake repair. This system is shared with Rav4 hybrids and subsequent Prius models thru 2015. Junk! Toyota service is horrible. Never again!

Seems like a great car so far....

So far I've owned this car just over 2 months and it has held up well. I've got around 140,300 miles on it and counting and it still drives very smoothly. The hybrid battery seems to hold a charge well still also. I've been averaging anywhere from 44-50 miles per gallon.

Best Prius so far

I love all the features this hybrid vehicle has. Sunroof, back rear view camera, Bluetooth and the power mode. Surprisingly has a lot due to how old the model is and is very fast compared to the Prius c model.

Once Very Good Now OLd Fashioned

When we bought this car in 2010, it was a great idea with only a low electric range and only at speeds under 25 mph. Test drove a 2019 and it was still the same car while everyone else moved past it. Noisy, mechanical issues and great mileage. The MPG isn't worth the poor ride and noise.
