Wife had an 06 Prius and now a 15 Volt. The Prius holds more cargo and back seat is more comfortable. The Prius battery was replaced(dead cells replaced) at 200K. The brake actuator went bad too which is a very common problem with Gen 2. Dealer wanted $3K to replace it but I found a local shop did it for about $1K. Still a really trouble free car. The Volt only has 20K on it as we live 1/2 mile from her work. Other than replacing a 12 V battery and oil changes, it's been reliable. It has some quirks but I like the way the Volt looks a lot more.

edit - the Volt does about 38 miles on a charge. Hardly ever put gas in it.
