From what I've heard, first gen Prius have a potential issue with the transmission/drive motor going bad, I have one friend who parted their Prius out after having this issue and I saw a Prius transmission that was pulled apart at a repair shop because of the same issue, not sure if this was an issue with a single year/batch or if it's something that will just happen after a set number of miles.
From what I read about 2nd generation Prius is that the taxi drivers who have them love them and find them to be very low cost to own with very few repairs.
