    I have to admit my Prius has really surprised me. This is my second one, but my first was only a year old when I got it, so I expected a lot more out of it.

    The fact that my 13-year-old car runs and drives 95% as well as my 2013 did when it was a year old is amazing. The build quality on these cars is fantastic. People see the odd shape and assume it's a little, but I believe they are properly classified as midsize cars in the US. It certainly has a larger interior than my 2014 Ford Escape did, with a little less room behind the rear seat because of the sloping hatch.

    I believe there is an extra zero in that number. Still impressive.

    Oh the shame...........I obviously meant 450,000 miles.....

    I believe there’s a Gen 2 Prius in Germany that has done 1,000,000 kilometres though.
    Watched a short video about it on YouTube

    ... which is 621,371.192 miles (according to Google).

    I figured it was a typo and was surprised nobody else caught it.
    Or perhaps they thought you were serious? o_O

    The Prius is much larger inside then the exterior seems.

    The stickers are from a FB page shown in a previous post on this thread :)

    I drove a lot. And drove far. I don't drive as far any more. It was a horrible time. Which by the way, has everyone here in California seen the .50 cents price hike in gasoline within the last week? Makes me happy I own my Prius.
