Best car I've ever had.

I've had this Prius for over five years which is a record for me.
It has everything which are only now becoming standard on top spec models from other manufacturers. I particularly like the reversing camera and wouldn't buy a car without now.
The car has never let me down and any work, which mainly relates to recalls and a water pump, has been done under warranty. I've changed the tyres, small battery and wiper blades and had it serviced yearly. I don't think I've ever had to replace a bulb. (I had to replace the tyres due to cracking between the tread!) The car is very well put together.
I use the car mainly for short runs and mostly around town, it's only done 26,000. I average about 46mpg, this has increased on longer runs. As it's reasonably sized car and an auto, I think I'm doing ok. I don't really try and get high mpg.
Overall I think my Prius is well suited to its name.
