    I am curious what cars people are coming from.
    I have found little information on where these sales are coming from. So I thought I would ask the owners on this forum.

    Many thanks for your time!

    My prior car was a 2002 Prius. This is Gen I, which was not a hatchback. It had over 160,000 miles, and I was worrying about the traction battery dying. The nature of that beast was that everything would be working fine, but one day you would try to start it, and the display would light up with fault indicators. So I traded up to the PiP before that happened.

    Had it 17 years since I bought it new. 200,000 miles when I sold it and was still running great. Didn't want to sell it. But, except for being fun to drive, it couldn't do anything the PiP could do better.

    Little 2008 Yaris that had never had to be repaired and a 2002 Dodge Dakota that was falling apart and spent as much time in the shop as on the road were traded for my 2012 PiP.

    There is a school near me called Pius. You go there? ;)

    Had a regular 2012 but I lost it. But before, during, and after the regular Prius I drove a Chevy Colorado.

    06 Honda Civic Hybrid. Battery was almost completely dead. Wonder if Honda has improved their battery tech? The car lasted 6 years.
