I bought my Prius new in 2004, so it's now 13 years old. The only problems I've had have been with the starter battery (not the big expensive ones). The mileage is still low--just creeping up on 100,000 miles now, and I have it serviced regularly at the dealership. The power outlet may be going bad; I'm not sure yet. The car is reasonably comfortable and, of course, saves a lot of money on gas.

This is by far the best car I've ever had. Even still 8 years later my mom still gets in my car and tells me how much she loves it. The gas mileage is great. We have taken our Prius on a road trip around the country and it easily held everything we needed for two weeks. We even had extra room. We were shocked but it passed our expectations.
