    So my 2010 with 299k miles is in for a paint recalled. I get to drive this loaner for the next 2 weeks or so. The cargo in the back is smaller than gen 3 but everything else is so much nicer.
    2024 XLE 6 miles on the odometer.

    I got a Corolla for a loaner... I liked it a lot, but I was also glad to get back to the Prius after they finished the repaint (it took a LONG time!)

    Yeah I don't think those interiors and steering wheels and all that stuff is going to hold up pretty much very similar to some other hybrids like the volt You know they made to go lots and miles but it'll be sitting on quite worn interior when it gets up there.

    How many panel did they repainted on yours. They didn't tell me how many panel on mine. Toyota is paying $588 for 2 weeks of rental.

    Pretty much all of the metal, as far as I can tell. Took almost a month!
