Hello all! Just bought our first Prius yesterday (2011 TWO). We're hopeful that everyone who has commented regarding "few issues with high mileage" are correct, as our new (to us) single-previous-owner MPG-slayer has over 150,000 already. Sure looks and drives nicely. Looking forward to learning a lot about our new car from all of you. Regards. Dave
Well, allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your wise choice! You've certainly come to the right place to learn all you'll ever need to know about the amazing Prius! I bought my 2009 Gen II back in January, it had 83k on the odometer (has just over 90k by now) and I just LOVE this car. It has a name (The ChuggyPig) and it's averaging ~55mpg at the moment. I bought it when my 21 years old Toyota Corolla DX Wagon failed inspection (sills/rocker-panels rotted out) but the car had 292,000 miles on it (hey, it's a Toyota! …what did you expect?) - anyway - I love my Prius, and I'm certain you will love yours! - Wil
Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride Dave! Hope you got a swinging deal on it. Not that these cars can't go many miles but the batteries do wear out. What is your current, measured fuel economy and what is your commute like?
