Hi Looking at buying a Prius around 2010. I hear they can have inverter problems and a few more issues. How widespread are these issues?

In a 3rd gen? Around 50-55 MPG.

Yeah. That’s decent in fairness.

At 100 km/h it'll be closer to 60 MPG.

Pulse and glide isn't effective at higher speeds anyway, as with the gen 3 the ICE is always on at speeds over about 74 km/h. I just use cruise control, which can be fitted easily if it doesn't have it (just need to install the stalk).
