I absolutely recommend this car if you need a workhorse to drive you back and forth and not to die on you. A couple things about this car --- 200k miles with multiple total-loss level accidents because my jobs at the time had me on the road most days. Still running strong. I just took it on an interstate road trip and it doesn't miss a beat. This car is hard to kill. I don't know how this thing was built by Toyota but it is seriously impressive value for the money. Worth literally every penny for what I've squeezed out of it so far. Cons: the disrespect you get is insane. I've driven other cars and the hate that this car receives in particular is laughable. Also the performance is ridiculously bad, which everyone knows. One way to sum this up, I had a friend of mine once say, "It's hard to look another man in the eye while getting out of a Prius."

Had a 2005 Prius greatest car I've ever had. Someone ran a red light and totaled it. Gen 3 Prius 2011 Toyota was crazy and replaced the seats in it and they are extremely uncomfortable. Overall good car center console I don't know why they changed all this stuff up.

Had to replace the battery which was over $3000, ABS and traction control issues were $3100 plus other various maintenance Makes this car undesirable if you ask me. Purchase price was $11000 and I have spent over $8000 in repairs over the last 3 1/2 years.
