    Tomorrow Jan 12 is my 1 year anniversary. 25,000 miles almost exactly, and not one problem. The car has survived 90 mile a day commutes, abuse in the HOV lane, and two truck tire tread attacks, $1300 for one, and just elbow grease and polish for the other. I'm totally happy with the car. I added the BT brace and the shark fin antenna. The OEM Goodyears still look pretty good, and should be good for at least 40,000. I do want to upgrade to Micheleins via Costco, some day, no rush. Mileage has been consistantly just under the magic 50, with a couple of 50+ weeks. Overall I'm thrilled. Its also my first automatic tranny, and first 4 door. The parking brake is funky (reminds me of rental cars), but otherwise its all good! Thanks to Priuschat, I bought the car almost unseen, and never looked back. My Subaru mostly sits. I've driven it less than 1,000 miles since I got the Prius. I should sell it, but its so much fun. So is the Prius, but in a different kind of way. Performance comes in many flavors! :) :p B)

    I passed 3 years on 1/3, and I'm still happy. I'm not sure I'll like the cost of the 60,000 mile service coming up soon, though...

    That's awesome! Congrats. I hope I'm as trouble free in a year, too.

    Yesterday was the 1-year anniversary for my 06 Prius, also with no problems. But I do have a very short commute and have under 4,500 miles on my black beauty. Guess I need to get out more. :rolleyes:

    I hit one year this week, 16,000 miles. My only problem was picking up a nail in the sidewall a month ago ($61 for a new tire). Averaged 51 mpg for the year!

    This is a sweet ride!
