✅ Owner Feedback & Reliability
The Prius XW30 generation (2009–2015) is renowned for reliability and longevity — many models easily surpass 200,000 miles (300,000 km) with regular maintenance

Common issues: ABS actuator failures in early years and coolant system concerns in some examples; Toyota issued recall repairs early on

“The 2012 was BY FAR my favorite ever by a long shot...”
“World's most reliable car, not kidding.”
