As the title states, my Prius has over 350,000 miles on it and is still a reliable mode of transportation. The value of the car is still relatively high considering the mileage. I am able to store quite a bit (a portable sound system: two speakers, a mixer and instruments), despite the size. The gas mileage is typically 43 mpg, which is fantastic! The Prius does require oil to be added frequently, as it tends to burn it as you're driving. I am a 5Õ2Ó, so the distance of the pedals is perfect for comfort. You can drive for an extended period of time without having to fill up, and when you do end up filling up, itÕs cheaper to do so. There isnÕt much clearance, so the car isnÕt ideal to drive if you are going to encounter a lot of potholes. So a very rural area might require a different car. The sound system that came with the car is also pretty good for being a standard system. The audio jack input sometimes needs to be unplugged and reinserted. Sometimes it doesnÕt work altogether. The back-up camera will occasionally not work.

The 2008 Toyota Prius is great car for the daily commute and for those longer hauls. It has plenty of space for passengers and cargo, drives nicely, and gets excellent gas mileage. The ride is smooth, and the car handles very well in all types of weather and on all types of roads.
