We bought the 2007 Prius pre-owned with some hesitations as it's previous owner had used it as a company car and had racked up around 172,000 miles driving all around California. I'm happy to say that after 2,000 more miles too and from doctors and hospitals, we've only had minor mechanical issues and that is imperative to enjoying these long distant, and very important, trips. The worst issue being it's reverse beeping function. After years of owning many standard non-hybrid vehicles with half the miles on it, (and with them malfunctioning to the high heavens.) The Prius has really stood out from the rest as a very reliable and hard working car and I am glad to own it.

I love the fact that it is extremely fuel efficient. Also, the sound system on the car is exemplary. It is also very sturdy, extremely safe, and I know that it will last me for a long time. I only dislike the outer shape of the car. I have used this car for more than 7 years.
