Best car for normal consumer
 I love my 08 Prius, I have over 215,000 miles on the car, I purchased it with 168,000.  While many of these reviews come from folks that have owned the car for a short time, I am Credit Union Autobroker in Portland OR and have owned and sold over 300 of Prius.    These cars in my opinion are the most reliable car a normal consumer can buy.  I get about 45 to 47 for my crazy all around mileage, and tend to drive it pretty hard.  No timing belt, just change the oil and drive.  Front brake pads, last forever, most of your braking if your normal, comes from the regenerating braking system.  Have seen FB pads go well over 100K miles.  I love these cars and give them 5 stars...my wife stole a V which is the wagon, and not given it back...she love it.  My daughter is in Phoenix driving an 08 Touring model...  Simply the best little rigs you can own.  Jan / 2018 still driving this car...and still loving it..
