1st gen Prius has been acquired as a replacement. Still cheap, simple appliance, but way nicer interior, exterior, and 50% more fuel efficient.

But but but, it's a prius!
I'd also worry about the battery pack being any good.

Not sure what you're getting at with the first comment.

Battery reliability issues are a way blown out of proportion myth, and as far as major repair expenditures go, they are quite cheap (~1000 rebuilt with gen 2 cells), and require extremely little labor to replace.

Hell, at 149k miles if the car were in California the batteries would still be under warranty.
