3 years, 104,000 miles in my 2005 Prius

Submitted By: Eddie G. - Oceanside, CA

For the longest time a Mercedes owner, I had a feeling gas was heading up so on July 1st 2005, I traded in the Benz, and bought a brand new 2005 Silver Toyota Prius with the Nav Package. On July 1st 2008 to date I have currently logged over 104,000 highway miles with no major repairs other than changing my oil with synthetic and change in tires. I've not even a brake change yet, or sparkplug change, everything works like a charm and air conditioning blows cold. I average 49 - 52 mpg. Truly unbelievable, since my other prior cars need maintenance much sooner. I plan to put another 100k or more in the next 3 years. My goal is to be the first to log 1 million miles in my Prius. We shall see!
