2002 Toyota Prius 4 door review from North America
"Not recommended"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas tank broke
Six tires needed replaced despite rotation
Windshield housing broke off
gaskets needed replacement
transmission broke.
General comments?
Price of transmission repair $8400 after only a little over 75,000 miles. No repair covered under warranty. Primarily highway mpg ~ 40, but takes plus gas, so not much cheaper to run than a Corolla.
