Your a jackass, 100k miles for a battery? The cars haven been out for 10 years and you wont find anyone who has replaced a battery due to wear. Dont you think in 10 years people have gone well over 100k? Kinderhook Toyota has a customer with over 300k on the original Hybrid parts. And Im not the Toyota salesman of the year, I havent sold cars in about 4 years. Im just stating what “I” know about the car, i dont need to post articles from nobodies to prove a point, i could find just as many articles lying about good things for the Prius as you did bad.
