[quote=Freeman]I've had my 2006 Prius for over 6.5 years now, with over 100k miles on it. The only part I've had to replace has been a headlight bulb, and that was around the 95k mark. I plan on driving it until it dies at this point. I'm 6'1", and I sit comfortably in it.(Just an infant car seat in the back for now) The battery warranty is long enough that it covers the expected life of the car, and even after that, the failure rate is low enough that I'm not worried about it.(Odds are that something else will kill the car long before the battery has any issues)  To buy a new battery replacement would cost in the $2200-$2600 range, but it would be silly to put that much money into a car at that point. Fortunately, there's a decent market now of used batteries that cost as little as $500 and make more sense for older vehicles.(They are available relatively cheaply because of the surplus of good condition batteries that outlived the rest of the car, which is a good indicator by itself)

As for space, I'm not sure what kind of stroller the PP had that she didn't think would fit, but I routinely fit both a stroller and groceries(Plus whatever other stuff I'm picking up on normal errands) in the back with no problems. I know I can fit the stroller and one Corgi, although I haven't tried putting both Corgis in with with stroller yet. It really comes down to how much space you need, but that's true for any car.[/quote]
