We've put over 73K on it and no complaints. My research also showed it has one of the the lowest costs of ownership of any car. I just filled up at Costco today - the trip odometer was at 970km and it cost me 34$ to fill. Because Alberta's electricity rates are among the lowest in Canada, charging it at home costs me a little over a penny/km.

I also have my eye on the Rav 4 Prime. Due to it's electric range of 75km, it qualifies for the $5000 federal rebate. But I'm also giving it a year or two as I want to see how the VW ID all-electric series of vehicles shakes down in Canada. I used to own a 1989 VW Westfalia camper van and now have my eye on this:
