Does Toyota Still Make Good Cars? THIS 341K Mile Prius Inspection is SHOCKING!

So Does Toyota Still make good cars? We inspect a 2019 Toyota Prius Prime with 341K Miles that is in immaculate shape to see if they still do.

This Prius Prime is not only a testimony of Toyota reliability. It's also testimony to Toyota Hybrid technology and Plug In Hybrid technology.

The owner of this 3 year old Toyota Prius Prime drove 341k miles and as a mechanic I had a very hard time to find anything wrong with it at this mileage.

The brakes are original on this car! So is the rest of it. Only maintenance items were taken care of throughout the ownership of this car.

This goes to prove that taking care of a car properly will make the car take care of you as well.

This is my car...Thank You AMD for taking the time to fully inspect and service (what was needed). Anybody in the Chicagoland area with a Toyota or Lexus should really get in touch with him for any of your car needs. I personally drove almost 800 miles to see him after following and learning from his many videos for a long time. He was excited as I was to make the video and do the inspection. He is really as honest and genuine as he is in his videos and it was nice to get his expert insight to the overall condition of my vehicle.

I am going to go through the MANY comments and try to answer as many questions as possible. Like mentioned in the video, I am a courier based in the mid-Atlantic US and am on the road quite a bit so it may take some time. One thing that should be noted is I drive closer to 2k miles a week on average not 4k. Just a small edit that was missed, not a big deal. I have driven 4k and more in a busy week but it is not the norm. I have almost always driven over 100k miles a year for the past 18+ years being in the business.

If anyone is interested, I post regularly on reddit under the same user name and update the car and my driving 'adventures'. Thank you again CarCareNut for your hospitality and it was truly a pleasure to meet you.

The owner posted an update on Reddit about two weeks ago. 473k miles and still trouble free. Impressive.

I think this owner deserves a small interview from you to actually inform everyone how he drives and looks after his car so well. It is the recognition he truly deserves.

The Prius is recognized as one of the most reliable vehicles ever made. It’s one of the consistently most likely vehicles to hit 200k, on the original powertrain and EV battery.

[-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-]

This should be Toyota's advertising campaign. They shouldn't waste a dime on anything else.

[troot]

This should come as no surprise as Toyotas are so reliable. A few months back I took an Uber ride from a man with a 2015 Corolla. He had 429, 000 miles on his Corolla and still ran like it was new. Toyotas are still as reliable today as in the past!

[mikechiodetti]

I own a RAV4. I'm not a Prius lover but I sincerely hope this owner gets hundreds of thousands of more miles ! ! !
OBVIOUSLY, the owner does primo maintenance to this car. The body shine alone is amazing!
The vehicle is also a testimony to Toyota's quality!
Fantastic!

Well I guess it’s safe to say the 4th Gen hybrid system is extremely reliable.

[charger]

I think the Toyota Prius is definitely in the Top 5 most reliable cars made today. Superb engineering, design and build quality. Toyota really did their homework when designing the Prius. Amazing car!

And my Chevy on the other end of the spectrum - a day out of the 3/36 needed $6k worth of work that took the dealership 113 days to repair. I’ll be looking at a Toyota to replace it.

[davidrouleau]

As a car mechanic I understand the joy of having a car like this drove in the shop and i can just say thank you to those who devoted themself like this owner of keeping a car not just clean on the outside but sound and safe too.

[jaimieconroy]

I am very impressed with the car you presented. It looks like a new car. It is hard to believe that it has 341, 000+ miles and still has the original equipment. Thank you AMD for showing the potential of a well maintained car.

[tntrich]

Sorry for your loss. I missed your videos, in your absence. Great to have you back, as always Great video. 341k wow! GOD BLESS

[Clamlifenc]

My Prius 2007 is 230k now, it’s still keep going. I started to take care of it the last 4 years and it’s still running amazing, no rust, 43mpg. I will get another Prius in the future!!

[ThomasFaller]

Reading the title of the video is enough. The fact that the car was able to drive 341k miles and still exists is incredible

My son has the 2002 Prius that I bought used at 102K miles. It needed it's first repair beyond tires, wiper blades, a couple of windshields (Arizona is the land of flying rocks) and 12 V batteries, at 198K miles when the inverter cooling pump died. At 208K miles it needed a hybrid battery rebuild, and soon after that the forward fuel/air sensor. That's it! The interior is in fabulous shape at 20 years; the legends on all the dash controls are perfectly legible. I'm sure if Toyota can make cars like that other manufacturers can, too... they just choose not to.

I am Corolla Hybrid owner from Turkiye. I've been driving this car for almost a year and my experience with hybrid technology is very good so far. I was worried about battery life in the begining but after seening videos like that have no concerns at all. I am doing regular maintenance, cleaning up hybrid air cooling filter and thats it.

Thanks for sharing videos like this. Keep them coming. Best of luck.

[kevinyoung]

4, 000 highway miles a week is not a problem if you maintain your Toyota as this owner has, but most people have a much lower % of highway miles. Most of us have a high % of stop and go short trips and that is very hard on a vehicle, even one that is well maintained. Good on this owner for choosing the right vehicle for the job and taking care of it, Bravo!

The Car Care Nut is the mechanic we all wish we had.

I have 2013 Prius v with 774k. My original 3rd gen engine was swapped @ 167k due to high oil consumption. My current engine was pulled out of 18 Prius prime plus. It had 12k original miles before the wreck. The fourth gen Prius is a beast.
