    Been a while since my last post but I recently retired my 2010 with 314K miles and purchased a 2015 Prius II with 34k miles. Are the any differences to watch out for? I am hoping the oil burning that my 2010 saw after 100k and even the replacement motor once it hit 100k is not happening on the later Gen 2's, topping of the oil every 750 miles was a bit annoying to be honest.

    2010 issues encountered:
    abs booster at 95K (Toyota later reimbursed me which was nice)
    Oil burn 1 qt every 750 miles (2 engines)
    clogged egr
    head gasket failure at 180K
    water pump failed at 300k
    mpg dropped to 39 at 311k (was getting 42+ form 220K and driving heavy footed)

    other than that great car hoping to get have at least a similar experience with the 2015
