So my 2009 Prius has been a very reliable car since I bought it in 2009. It is a very low maintenance car. Most of the parts are sealed, so there isn't much maintenance to do. The car is great on gas. However, as the car has aged, I definitely don't get the same mpg's as when it was new. The car is pretty nice looking, I have the blue version. The car is not the most comfortable car to drive. The steering wheel is awkward to hold onto for long trips. I'm only 5'5, but when I sit in the car, my head nearly hits the roof. I wish it were more comfortable.

I love my Prius. It is cheap to run (~45 mpg), and it is cheap to maintain. I have only put new tires and routine maintenance into it, even though it has 120,000 miles on it. I have never even put brakes on it for the +60,000 miles I've put on it. My only complaint would be its poor performance in the winter. If another car is produced that gets similar gas mileage but is all-wheel-drive, I will make the switch away from the Prius.
