2007 Toyota Prius Hatchback 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
A wonderful friend
 We bought this 2007 Prius new and have never had any major problems with it. We had to replace the 12-volt battery once & the wipers a couple of times - in 10 years. We love this car! Plenty of cargo space & back seat leg room. And NEVER any issue with the hybrid batteries or function. We still average 44 MPG, combined. My spouse thinks it lacks a little for ground clearance, but we do drive in rough country (graded roads) sometimes. Great car!NOTE: We sold the Prius to a relative inCA in Dec. '16; she needed a great mileage getter (drives 50 mi. to/from work) and we had a rare opportunity at a new Subaru Outback for 1/2 price.  And we love this car, too.
