I need information on a Toyota Prius?

I live in Los Angeles and I drive about 40,000 miles (vast majority on the highway) per year. Would a Prius die out on me? How often would I change major parts on a hybrid? I've heard about major defects with the gas tank/gauge. I need to know as much as I can before I pay.



If anyone has any alternatives to the Prius, please, let me know your suggestions and information on the model. Thanks!!!!!I need information on a Toyota Prius?
The Toyota Prius should serve you particularly well. Not only is the Prius accorded Consumer Reports' highest predicted reliability category based on infrequency of serious problems over the three most recent model years, but is on AutoOnInfo.net's Best of 2008 lists based on the infrequency of serious problems over CR's 5-year and 7-year Reliability Verdict histories. Furthermore, it is on Consumer Report's list of top ten vehicles that are good bets for the long run - candidates for multi-year ownership.



With regard to fuel economy, the ACEEE ranks it 1st in fuel economy, with 48 miles per gallon inside the city and 45 miles per gallon on the highway. The Honda Civic Hybrid places 2nd, with 40 miles per gallon inside the city and 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Daimler's Smart ForTwo places 3rd, with 33 miles per gallon inside the city and 41 miles per gallon on the highway; however, if this vehicle is akin to other Daimler products, it may be something of a reliability disaster (see the Greenest Automobiles of 2008, http://www.AutoOnInfo.net/GreenestDozen2 ).



The Honda Civic Hybrid appears to be the only good alternative. It too has a solid reliability history; however, by its 5th year, the Honda Civic had fallen to CR's second-highest reliability rating while the Toyota Prius earned CR's highest reliability rating for all 7 of the model years in its reliability history.I need information on a Toyota Prius?
The Prius will not break down as they have been (Toyota) has used since 1996. they are ONLY hybrid car. All others are gas with electric boost to aide in torque taking off from stop. It has a 8 year warranty on batteries which I have never seen 1 go bad since they came out. It gets 48MPG in city and 45 on highway. I just saw ad for Chevrolet Envoy Hybrid or so-called which gets 20 mpg. A hybrid? Toyota Tundra gas gets 17 and 21 with 381 hp 5.7engine.
It doesn't make sense for you at this time. Firstly, a new prius will cost you MSRP sticker price plus at least $3000. So most models will be in the 30, 000 range. Since most use is hwy, the toyota yaris will get nearly 40 on the hwy, compared to prius at 45. and it is 15000 less. Lets do the math, It will take you many years to recoupe the 15000, thats buys a lot of gas. Or wait a year Toyota is supposed to increase production alleviating the demand and price spike. Also, I believe oil will fall in half, and your fuel efficiency needs will be lessened, good luck
The prius is very reliable hardly any problems
