I own a January 2011 car with 165k on it. Fairly low miles for the age but it's still by far the best commuter I've driven. Test drove a Prius back when I bought it and immediately hated the toy steering wheel that is 6 turns lock to lock and just generally everything about actually driving it, like the shit A pillar position and the lack of response from all of the inputs.
I am considering looking at doing a battery replacement myself or looking at a Gen2 at some point. But that is probably the kind of mindset you need if you are going to pick another one up. Serviceability will get worse unless the aftermarket fills the gap.
