That too, but I touched on that with durability.

The guy who sits next to me bought a used 2001 Prius. Got a few years out of it then had to replace the battery or a substantial portion of it - 3 grand. That didn’t entirely fix the problem, it needed a new tranny - another 3 grand. Wound up dumping the car for $1000 plus a refund on the battery. The scrapper probably made a killing.
