but the average mpg is 39.9

It is certainly an impressive package for a mini pickup.

But if we’re only fixating on the MPG and 0-60 time, there are lots of options with those metrics nowadays.

We did replace the battery at 130,000 miles; a Prius indy came out and installed a new Toyota factory unit for $2800. So much for catastrophic battery replacement costs.

Packs for the newer models are significantly more expensive; the increase started around the mid 2010 era. Anecdotally, the packs in the newer models seem to last a lot longer.

Wisconsin Republicans jacked the registration fees on hybrid vehicles because they're "woke."

Politics is a no-no dude.

That battery will be under warranty for the next 10 years. I can find used factory batteries for a later model -- 2016 -- Prius for a few hundred dollars

Oops, sorry.
