Used Priuses, especially the Generation 2 that were made from 2004 to 2009 are becoming a bargain to buy, especially for the MPG and features you get in return. Power steering is electric and as a result we don’t need to check the power steering oil level as there isn’t any. Priuses can burn oil. How did it all start?
