My previous car was a 2014 Prius. The 2018 has added safety features which are very valuable, & has even better mileage, and a very smooth drive --handles well. However, there is less trunk & glove box space, & it is more complicated to work some of the features, such as setting the clock. On the 2014, all I had to do was press the hr & min buttons. On the 2018, I had to watch a youtube a few times, & then it took me a few tries to reset the clock.

2018 prius 4, my a/c stopped working, dealer charges $150 fee, then tells me the compressor is not working, new one $1200 w/o installation. A month later my heat stops, again diagnostic test $150, bad news coolant level low, kkand leking internally to the catalytic converter. To fix with labor $2,229.85. I did not get either fixed at this point. Purch for $24k,500 12/12/19 car had 3,549 miles. Spent $3,017.95 maint and have 89,056 miles on now. Never thought I would get a lemon with the 4th gen hybreed

With over 65K miles on my 208 Prius, I'm getting 52 mpg over the life of the car. No major mechanical problems. I recently replaced the battery (the regular one), which I expected. The original tires had to be replaced at about 25K, which was surprising to me I hadn't realized carmakers deliberately put cheap tires on their new vehicles to keep the sticker price down. I've gotten used to the retro black-and-white dashboard, but the white color does reduce cabin heat in the summer, I suppose. Overall, I'm happy with the car because of its excellent gas mileages and overall reliability. i plan to keep it until a repair would cost than the car is worth.
