 I had a Rav4 a number of years ago, drove it to 223,000 and was pleased at its reliability overall.  Then, I bought a Corolla and for the first time in my life, traded the car in WELL before 100K because there was some intermittent mechanical problem that Toyota could never figure out.  The dealership got tired of me complaining about the car and so offered to let me trade in the car and I got a 2010 Prius.  Wasn't crazy about the interior, but was interested in the gas mileage savings since I do a lot of driving.  It doesn't get even what the dashboard settings say it does, much less what the sticker said.  I would say it was more like high 30's to lower 40's depending on time of year, weather conditions and how much weight was in the car.  Earlier this year, I started having issues with loss of motor oil.  It has continued and if I were to keep the car, I am told I would be looking at a repair of at LEAST $3K.  I told them I would never put that kind of $ in a car with just over 100K.   I think I'm going to go look at Honda's.  I'm sick of Toyota not taking care of their customers!  The dealership told me yesterday when I was in for another oil change that they have had repeated issues with the Prius's burning oil but that there was no recall coming out that he knew of.   SHAME ON TOYOTA!!!
