Is Prius a 10 year automobile?

I think the Prius is a 10 year car when looking at the real-world info on TrueDelta where you can compare the reliability of the Prius with any other automobile. Even comparing with the Camry the Prius still looks very good. http://www.truedelta.com/results-dispatcher.php?results_page=1&pvw=0&brand_1=Toyota&model_1=272&brand_2=Toyota&model_2=264&submit_pretty=1
When comparing with any other make the Prius looks excellent! Oh yeah:rockon:

 

@usnavystgc - I apologize, I was very stressed at time of posting. I feel that there were a number of repairs that were unusual or defect of design. And you're right, Toyota really isn't responsible for the issues I've had with our local dealer. I shouldn't pass the rudeness on.

My wife called me out on it too...

So just wanted to apologize for being an ornery.

My experience is that time is the major factor in batterry life. I purchased my 2001 Prius in October 2003 when it had 17,000 miles. In January 2009 the battery failed at 197,000 miles. My mechanic replaced it with a new battery from Toyota for < $2,000. My sister-in-law bought a 2001 Prius in 2005 with 40,000 miles. In September 2009 the battery failed at 127,000 miles. My mechanic replaced the battery for about $100 less than mine becaue the battery price had dropped during 2009.

I think that this explains why the hybrid warranty went from 10yrs or 100,000 miles on the Gen1 to 8 yrs or 100,000 miles on the Gen2.
