2008 Toyota Prius Hatchback Touring 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Worthwhile purchase!
 I've waited a year to write this so as to have some experience with the car.Was very hesitant to buy due tofear 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.
