I live in South Africa and have a March 2005 model Right Hand drive [Similar to United Kingdom B version] done 21000km/13050 miles so far with service intervals of 15000 km [9350 miles].
I have a 120000 km [75000 mile] / 5 year full maintenance plan [excludes tyres], which then goes to a 195000 km [122000 mile] / 8 year service plan - all at no charge - included in the original purchase price - which was a lot higher than USA prices. Only 12 Toyota dealers nationwide [of about 400 in total] can sell/service Prius. Toyota is the #1 passenger / RV brand here.
Our country only receives 12 cars a month and the Prius only was introduced in March last year - I was one of the first to obtain. By end of July 2005 only 45 had been placed - as up to then - Toyota only allowed renting for a
5 year contract - as we had a strict "do not expect warranty if driven on unpaved roads causes damage" clause in the contract. From then on, however - Toyota allowed outright purchase. In Johannesburg we are at 5000 feet/1525 meters and summer max of 35'C/95'F with winter lows of 0'C/32'F Mine is a dream car and has had zero problems. Average fuel consumtion is about 5.6 litres per 100 km = about 42 miles per US gallon. I do a lot of city driving.
