What Owners Say
"Front under guard needed to be replaced."
Anonymous, NY (2016 Toyota Prius Four Touring 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The front bumper and the undercarriage shield are prone to being scraped and coming loose because the car is so low to the ground that they scrape the road when going through dips in the road or speed bumps even when going at extremely slow speeds"

Anonymous, CA (2016 Toyota Prius Unsure 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"Trim by rear windows plastic started to peel off. Two years after purchase. After four years paint on the hood, peeling and paint on the spoiler and roof faded."
Anonymous A., FL (2016 Toyota Prius Unsure 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)""The paint suffered from the sun and I happily had it repainted. I love this car; my wife had leather seats ordered for the dealer to arrange before delivery to us; it has a 6 CD player, power windows etc and its fun to drive, which is something to say since my 2 previous cats were a vette and a Mercedes. The only repair we had to do was fix the 6 CD placer in which someone had loaded 7 CDs and replace a catalytic converter some asshole stole.""
