My Prius is 8 years old with over 122,000 miles and is running as smooth as the day I bought it. I do take my car in for an oil change and any other routine maintenance recommended by the Toyota Service department every 5,000 miles.

I love my new Prius. I can zip into the narrow parking lot spaces. It gives me a good feeling of safety navigating busy roads. It detects and warns if another vehicle is too close. It detects pedestrians. If I leave my lane, I get a warning and a slight tug on the wheel, especially the blind spot monitor is a huge advantage. And I get plenty of power!
