I have had CC2s on my 2020 Prius Prime now for about 40k miles... I love them, they are quiet and handle well. They have been good in rain and I did only get to test them in snow twice which they did really well... So with running them year round and 40k miles on them I have about 45% tread depth left.
I have the true start now. Previous one is yuasa from 2004 that lasts a good 17 years.
Our 2007 has the classic Toyota horn. No issues with it at all.
I am partial to the Akebono ProACT ceramic pads. Akebono is OEM supplier for a lot of brands, and they make good quality stuff. I've had their pads on a number of cars, and never a problem. Quiet, low dust, stop well.
The inverter water pump is a fairly common failure on the second gen Prius. The pump runs anytime the car is on, and it just wears out.
Fair price for paying a shop to replace your OE struts with Monroe OESpectrum quickstruts.
On my 2016 prius, I bought kyb structs and shocks for $400 installed it for 350
The biggest difference in stopping power for me was installing hawk hps 5.0 pads. I have a lot more confidence driving my prius fast with these pads. I feel like I’m slowing down faster than I ever thought was possible. Honestly have to watch it cuz if you have people behind you they can’t slow down as fast. Someone break checked me today and it was a non issue stopping faster than the car in front of me but I have good tires as well. (avid ascent GT) Only problem with the pads (for gen 3) is they were too thick for me to install both pads with new EBC rotors so I had to rotate the pads in with one old oem and to shave them down (or you can sand them down)
My HG went bad around 180k, with no EGR cleaning by the previous owner. It started to consume coolant pretty quick and smoke came out of coolant tank lol
Replaced HG is a few weeks, cleaned air intake manifold and EGR. Now, I’m hoping to get many more miles from it :)
my 2009 had an optima and it only lasted 2 years
