2018 prius 4, my a/c stopped working, dealer charges $150 fee, then tells me the compressor is not working, new one $1200 w/o installation. A month later my heat stops, again diagnostic test $150, bad news coolant level low, kkand leking internally to the catalytic converter. To fix with labor $2,229.85. I did not get either fixed at this point. Purch for $24k,500 12/12/19 car had 3,549 miles. Spent $3,017.95 maint and have 89,056 miles on now. Never thought I would get a lemon with the 4th gen hybreed

Another satisfied Prius owner

With over 65K miles on my 208 Prius, I'm getting 52 mpg over the life of the car. No major mechanical problems. I recently replaced the battery (the regular one), which I expected. The original tires had to be replaced at about 25K, which was surprising to me I hadn't realized carmakers deliberately put cheap tires on their new vehicles to keep the sticker price down. I've gotten used to the retro black-and-white dashboard, but the white color does reduce cabin heat in the summer, I suppose. Overall, I'm happy with the car because of its excellent gas mileages and overall reliability. i plan to keep it until a repair would cost than the car is worth.
