    Hello All,
    So I've got 156K on my Prius, Bought it used with 36K so I've so far put 120K on it. I'm getting bored with it, but it's been a great car and there's no real reason to move on. My commute is about 65 miles a day so about 350 miles a week or so. It's about a tank of gas a week.
    I've done the major stuff,that goes wrong, and wear items. Such as inverter coolant pump, shocks/struts, brakes, tires, had local shop do the ABS/Brake accumulator, did the plugs and egr valve, and other than that oil and filter every 5K and air/cabin ever 15k or so. It's been a great car. Oil consumption is up a bit, but not a huge issue. More than likely I replace this prius with another in a few years.

    When I get a new prius, I think I may get a model 4, with adaptive cruise control and lane departure.

    Thanks for reading my thoughts.

    The Prius truly lives up to claim of saving gas. :)

    Since the middle of Model Year 2017, all trims have had both ACC and LDW. No need to go for the higher level, unless you want to, of course.
