The body on the other hand.... not so good: two fan resistors, a couple window regulators, trim breaking, moonroof leaks.

The cost of the routine maintenance was also way higher for the diesel. 120K of schedule maintenance on the Prius was about $600. For the TDI it was $1900 (I did all the work on the Prius myself. On the TDI I did everything except the timing belt)
