    Poll- feel free to post and vent.

    Bought my 4th Prius today.
    My first, 2008(04-09) was great until some old NY bitch lied to police after t-boning it. Instant 5-10k loss.
    2nd bought for my wonderful daughter: 2012 C w/190 on clock, now 210.
    3rd. Gen3 with 130k Mild issues, today 170k.
    4th 180k on clock, very clean.
    Still own all except for the t-boned 08….

    Works for you, less the t-bone of course. Still working on 51,000 miles with our painless 2012 v Five.

    We bought a used V last month. It seems okay, but the gas mileage doesn't seem up to par.

    If you can even find a new Prius to buy. The dealer lots here are fresh out! Our one used hybrid car lot seems to have plenty.
