I had a 2015 that I put 310 k mi on before I'm not so serious accident finally totaled it. I kind of abused it by going way too long between oil changes, sometimes 20 to 27,000 mi. Nevertheless, everything kept working and I only had one unexpected repair - replacing the electric coolant pump at 220,000 mi. Front brakes lasted 125K, rear brakes lasted 225K. All maintenance and service and repair costs seemed pretty reasonable to me.

I drove Uber and Lyft for 31,000 trips, about half a million miles. I did it all with two 2015 Priuses (standard, front wheel drive, non plug-in). The first Prius I gave up after 40,000 because it was totaled by F-150 that crunched me from behind. The dude's truck was quite messed up and he was unconscious. I was fine but the back end of my Prius was pushed in about 13 in. The second Prius I drove for 310,000 mi and all I needed to fix on it was the electric coolant pump that I had replaced. Everything else was just fine. Of course, I had to replace the front brakes twice in that time (they last about 125,000 mi), and the rear brakes once (they go about 230,000 miles). Replaced tires every 50,000 mi. Oil change every 10 to 12,000 mi. Wipers every year or so and headlight bulbs about every 25,000 mi. The 12 volt original battery lasted 6 years, and I replaced it myself for $130.

Priuses are fairly popular for Uber and Lyft driving here in Minneapolis, but not as popular as somewhat cheaper sedans. I drove to 2015 Priuses for half a million Uber/Lyft miles - 31,000 trips. I cannot praise those cars more. Overall, they were very reliable, good in the winter, cheap to run, and at the time I bought them, relatively inexpensive to buy in finance as a low mileage used car.

In other markets it's called the Prius Alpha and it also has a little brother called the Prius C /Prius Aqua, they're the most reliable vehicles known to man. Also the Toyota Prius doesn't have conventional CVT but rather a pair of tandem planetary motors that operate like a transmission AKA eCVT. Basically the whole thing is bulletproof.

Toyotas are generally built better than just about anything else out there but I'm just not interested in hybrids or EVs even if they are built by Toyota. The only hybrids I like are locomotives. I would rather have a 30+ year old Chevy Sprint or Geo Metro with that wheezy three cylinder of course only if it was in decent condition. Those things are very basic but they were pretty reliable, easy to maintain, and you could get 50 mpg+ on the highway.

I occasionally drive a prius C for my job, personally I don't like how it feels to drive, it's kinda clunky when you accelerate from a standing start, this seams to be because the driving electric motor is trying to propel the vehicle whilst starting the engine at the same time. I also don't like how when your accelerating and trying to get it going the engine is always reving its head off, this is probably because of the CVT. Another pet hate is what's the point of EV mode if you can't drive it at more than I think it's 20mph/30kph before a warning flashes and says you can't drive it faster IN EV mode then it kicks you out of EV mode. Personally I'd wouldn't own one even if you gave it to me free! And don't get me started on the interior, the most uncomfortable car I've ever driven, and ive owned 10 cars in my 35 years of driving,(I drive 10 hours plus when I'm driving). Sorry scotty, other than fir fuel economy, the prius c is pretty horrible car IMHO

Hi all! Is it worth buying a 12+ years old hybrid toyota/honda? i really like the toyota auris 1.8HSD/honda jazz(fit) 1.4 CVT They are quite expensive but they say both reliable cars in general. But They are quite old now, in car years 2010-13 so 14-11 years old cars.

Absolutely not! Unless you have $20,000 to replace the batter that is guaranteed to be too old for a full charge. Scotty is being paid by Toyota to promote their products, but a used Prius is one of the riskiest purchases you can make, which is why he's paid to make 10 episodes a week about how great they are, despite bashing them for years before all of a sudden he loves them in every new video

How many calendar years do you get on the hybrid battery? Are the 200,000+ miles run off in 10 years? What happens when one of these is 20+ years old?

My 2006 Prius had over 350k miles. After 285k the ABS pump burned out. Replaced it and barely even 50k miles later it burnt out again. Researching that generation, a defect in the wire harness was burning the pump out. I was willing to fix the car but it also had the issue starting at 250k miles were the dashboard wouldn't turn on. BUT over all amazing car, bought it for $3500 at 180k miles so I got my monies worth.

A customer at my mechanic bought a used Prius and said he still runs it but the battery died at around 200k miles. Can anyone speak on how that is possible?
