My beloved, indestructible 08 touring got the cat stolen a year ago. After the theft my mechanic did an aftermarket setup with a Toyota o2 but the CEL will not go away and was not able to pass my state inspection all this time. We are on the final 3 weeks of the state registration and will turn in the plates the day of. Got this car when I had my first kid and we do road tips to Canada, Vermont, Atlanta, Tennessee and FL consistently and flawlessly. Had little to post here all this time due to the build quality of this wonder. Toyota had to change the steering box many moons ago and that's it. My first front brake change was at 228 000 miles. It has 296 472 now and we are not free for a road trip until end of December. We were looking forward to making the video of the clock turning 300 000 as we have the 100 000 and 200 000 clock turning videos. Couldn't imagine this family without a Pri so two days ago I bought a 2012 plugin with 200 000 miles. This weekend I will scan through the Gen 3 forums and get comfortable but thus far the radio sucks and the engine is louder than I expect. If only Gen 2 had the EV button it would rule the world.
I really liked my 2008 too. My 2011 was also very dependable. I think there is a thread somewhere in PC stating that the Gen II odometer goes back to zero after 299,999 miles. I'll try and find it later today.
The odometer on the 2004-2005 gets to 299,999 miles and then stays there. They fixed it in the 2006-2009.
