    I have had all three Generations of the Prius Models in the last 2 months. I just picked up a 2011 Prius Two, not II since uppercase Roman numerals were only used in 2010, with 22k Miles! In mint condition and plan to keep it for years. I learned a lot from the Gen 1 (01) and Gen 2 (06) in the last few months. Doing Suspension work , CVT Fluid Changes in both and Traction Battery in the 01. I did the work as a hobby to learn about how these cars work. Sold Them cheap for those in need. I really like the Gen 3 design! Matt in Annandale, VA

    Time to get it on my lift and play with it.

    cheers for the welcome! In time this will have 170k . I like what I have seen so far underneath it. Lots of diff stuff compared to the gen 2. I was surprised to see an electric water pump! Car was originally from Erie PA and I knew there was going to be some surface rust underneath. I need to wash underneath some when I have a hot day in the garage. I really love the mint interior and how it is layed out. I really wanted Navigation but car was too clean and priced right to pass it up! 20150706_213450.jpg 20150706_213556.jpg 20150706_213617.jpg 20150706_211006.jpg 20150706_211110.jpg 20150706_210519.jpg 20150706_210749.jpg

    Beltless engine is a nice feature, no serpentine belt to ever change.
