My 2010 Prius is still going
My 2010 Prius is still going strong with 205K miles on it. Very reliable. Only needed regular maintenance visits. It even survived a collision with a deer recently, with only minor bumper damage.
Because it has lasted as long as the previous 3 cars I owned combined, the extra expense in the beginning was well worth it.
It has been so reliable that I just purchased a 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime plug in hybrid electric vehicle. Toyota hybrid technology has been tested over the years and is reliable.
Not only that, my new RAV4 Prime is the best car I have ever owned, and is great fun to drive--with exceptional acceleration to highway speed for all those difficult merges.
