I only recently had to donate my 2003 Toyota Prius to charity when I couldn't afford to replace the $2,000 Prius battery. Considering the state of the car and the mileage, the car was totaled. I owned this car for six years, and it was the most reliable one I'd ever driven. It was extremely easy to maintain and easy to drive. It's a small detail, but I also liked that the gear shift was by the wheel.

I really love this car. This was my first hybrid vehicle (and, so far, my only hybrid vehicle), and the difference between this and my gas vehicle were very noticeable. I think the positives greatly outweigh the negatives for the Prius, and it is a car that I would highly recommend to people. Even though it is a used car, it still feels like one of the more forward-thinking cars that I have ever driven.
