    Recently promoted and now have to make a 190 mile round trip commute until relocating. Picked up a CPO 2012 Prius One last night to meet those needs. I had purchased a new pickup 5 weeks ago, but that was not an option as a daily commuter. Looking forward to learning more about the Prius!

    Have a 2010 Prius One and put 500-600 miles per week on it for three years. Still running strong! Car will outlive me!

    If I drive the Prius every day, I'll put about 800 a week on it. Plan on relocating in 3 months or so.

    Welcome to Prius Chat (y)!

    Excellent choice on color. I took a liking to Barcelona Red back in August of 2009:).

    I do 80 miles round trip each day and have 153 k miles on our 2010 Prius II and going strong.

    How many miles on the Prius?

    If you are a DIY type, check out the Gen3 maintenance section. There are some simple jobs that can help extend the trouble free miles the Prius can deliver.

    Has 70,590 on the clock currently. Definitely a DIY'er, so I'll get right on that.
