    Well I bought an 02 Prius to part out as it was hit in the front but I tested it out and liked how well It drove . With over 200 on the clock I thought it would be slow and noisy , it was not , had no lights no issues and still drove like a new car . Started taking it apart and found not only are they easy to work on but how well thought out and engineered it is , now I see why the parts are so cheap because they hardly ever break so now I Am hooked and would like to buy another one might even take one that needs a major part like the battery , engine , or trans I will fix it with the parts I have, and sell off my other parts .

    It is really odd how the Prius has an almost otherworldly power to suck you in.

    Cant explain that part but It's a very good piece of engineering that's for sure , I think it would be a very inexpensive car to operate for anyone with a few mechanical skills .
