I worked as a Foreign Auto Mechanic at several independent shops for over 10 years, mostly in the 70's. Then took a step sideways to work as refrigeration mechanic/commercial HVAC mechanic. Recently retired. I remember seeing the first Toyotas to arrive at Midwestern dealers. Currently driving a 2015 Prius V as my only car.
Welcome to PC. A friend of ours recently replaced their only vehicle 2015 Prius V with 2019 Rav4 Hybrid. He seems to be liking it. I looked for a used V for the replacement for our minivan, but could not find one the fits our bill. Ended up purchasing a used Nissan SUV Pathfinder Hybrid.
