Four year update on 2005 prius
 

HI ALL !
I haven't been here since May 6,2006. Got my Prius April 26,2006. Got an email today requesting an update. OK here it is ! Still love my Prius. I've got 89,000+ miles on it & have never had any problems at all.Gonna have the 90,000 mile checkup on Thurday. I've gotten 52-55 mpg going from Philadelphia area to Boston,MA & average in the 40's commuting to work. It's a tough cookie ,too. I had a huge tree branch fall & crush the roof while I was driving in Philly. Branch landed about 12" behind my head but I was saved because the area over my head didn't buckle at all. The back window was totally shattered but I was able to drive it home. It was good as new after repairs. I plan to stick with the Prius model. At the present time there are about 3 or 4 Prius in my neighborhood, & several more in one of the choirs I sing in.

Thanks for the update :)

I also own a 2005 but I have only 40,000 miles on it (bought it in 2007). Did you have your Inverter Coolant pump replaced ?

I don't think so. Has there been a problem with it & why does it need replacing? Is it a regular maintainance thing like oil filters or has it caused problems? If so I can tell them to replace it tomorrow.

Mine was OK, but I need a new remote & that's $195 ! Know any way I can get one at lower price?
