I've waited a year to write this so as to have some experience with the car. Was very hesitant to buy due to fear of the unknown with the high voltage battery. Can say now that this is not a concern as these fail rarely and with many miles and usually with at least a decade of time. My dealership might replace 5-6 a year on the first generation (2001-2003), but 1-2 on this generation. Not as expensive to replace as I thought, either, as I received quotes of $2500 parts and labor. Realistically, that would be at least 12-15 years down the road. I get about 44 mpg in the winter and 46-49 mpg in warm weather. No repairs have been needed; easy to work on.
Great car

Gas mileage is down about 10 mpg in the winter, but overall it is a great car. Does great in the snow, roomy inside and comfortable. I sold it in 2016. The new owner loves it

Averaging 45mpg. Performance is great for an engine this size and efficient. Paid $16,500 with nav, jbl, touring edition an 36500 miles. The incline of the front of the car causes a lot of bug paint damage to the hood and above windshield. A lot of sunlight inside the car due to the angles of the glass and there is no tint strip at the top of the windshield. Very pleased with gas mileage since my 06 m35 only averaged 19mpg. The car handles better than my $45k infiniti and handles rough roads much better. Seats are more comfortable too. At least the plastic interior looks good for plastic. I love the car and look forward to driving it and with each mile i drive i'm saving for my son's college

We just got our second Prius, an '08. The first one is an '05. We liked the '05 well enough to get a second one. It's a nice car, good space inside, flexible with the different configuration options of the seats, big enough to carry 3 other adults to lunch, plenty of pick up, nice interior, quiet ride. Overall, I'm very pleased (although I've only had it for one day!).
The Prius that could

I am Absolutely In Love with my car!!! I bought it a year and a half ago on a fixed income. It had a little over 200000 miles and ran just like brand new! It was well maintained and all records were given to me. There was 1 accident involving the driver front. No pulling or mechanical issues then. It was used as a trade for a new model. I drive a Lot! Highway travel. Have had No major issues. I contacted a veteran that rebuilds the big battery and he said it was still fine (original)! This has been the best car I have ever had. It now has 250000 miles and going strong. I am going to have a few cells replaced as I have noticed a couple not charging as well. No complaints at all. My son offered to buy me a newer one and I said "No thank you". I don't like the newer ones. The changes weren't for the better in my opinion. I like my speedometer in front of me not the middle and all the storage. I started a saving account in case something major needs replaced. This will be the last car I own as I'm older and absolutely Love her.
