[Dr. Sivana]

I'm confused, because of your earlier post.<
br>We’ve driven Prius cars since the first one sold in Maine (mine) in 2000
I typically buy cars that are ten years old or older, and I have heard many people who don't like hybrids complain about the cost and lifespan of the batteries. But I hadn't heard from someone who bought a Prius and held onto it for a long time to get some first hand information rather than conjecture.

That was a quote from the Waj comments.

Prius have been in production for over twenty years.
Consumer Reports and others have compared the performance high mile used with new of the same year. Minimal loss.

“...So we hooked up a 2002 Toyota Prius with nearly 208,000 miles on the clock to our testing instruments and compared the results to the nearly identical 2001 Prius we tested 10 years ago.

Conclusion: We found very little difference in performance when we tested fuel economy and acceleration”
