What convinced me to get 2nd hand Prius is the engine, transmission and even battery is same as those used in Toyota Cross Hybrid, which is the reason I went to Toyota showroom to try test drive the Cross hybrid, so spare parts availability shouldn't be a problem for 3rd gen Prius over the life cycle of Cross Hybrid. The 2nd and 3rd gen Prius have very strong DIY group and modders worldwide, so a lot of support even locally.

The only thing is I can't find one mechanic to help me check the car, my regular mechanic is anti-hybrid/EVs.

look for private seller, and ask seller to meet there at the workshop

I can't drive the car that far to Klang to be checked before buying, and no mechanic will abandon his shop to go with you to check the car out without compensating him appropriately. That's my struggle.

step on it.
throttle response were dampened for FC purpose, but if you demand it will give.

3rd gen Prius feels sluggish, need to change to Power mode to feel adequately safe for exiting junctions/entering roundabout. BRV 'feel' like having better power to weight ratio even when compared to Prius in Power mode.
