Just bought a White 2005 Base Model Toyota Prius used with 35K Miles. I must say it's the best car I ever owned. I consistently get between 45 and 55 MPG. Five days after I got it I hit a semi truck tire on the road and tore up an inner fender, the splash shield, and one of the billets on the grille. I ordered the BT Skid Plate and am looking forward to improving the underside of the Prius. I'm hoping to maybe get some gas mileage change. I love this website and looking forward to everyone's feedback and experiences.
