This has been a tremendous car for me. Nine years after I purchased it and at 170,000 miles, it still runs great. The technology is old as compared to new hybrids, plug-ins and full electric vehicles but it still gets tremendous gas mileage. I paid this off in 2015 so now have had 4+ years without a car payment, combined with low fuel costs and (knock on wood) little to nothing breaking on the car I've been very lucky. It performs great and has a smooth ride on both highways and in city driving. I've taken it on long road trips and commuted with it for nine years. It really is a great car. There really isn't anything I dislike about it. I'd buy another Prius again when I need a new car if I don't get a full electric vehicle.
