Cracked Windshield Issues

2016 Toyota Prius Four 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
9 of 10 people found this review helpful
What Toyota has known about for awhile and failed to address, and what is currently a class action suit against the company is that the windshields on the 4th Generation Prius models (2016 and 2017 years) are faulty and are very succeptable to cracks, making them a road safety hazard. Furthermore, Toyota has known about this issue per the class action summary and has failed to act. On top of this, Toyota is hiding behind the “road debris” exclusion of the warranty which is forcing customers to pay out of pocket for these issues. My wife and I bought a 2016 model Prius IV, and within 4 months, we had 3 chips on the windshield and 2 cracks over 12 inches in length. The 4th Generation model has been plagued be issues including an airbag recall and windshield problems, and Toyota has been inadequate in their response to these issues. If you are looking to buy a Pruis, I would recommend an older model, or look to another Hybrid vehicle as the 4th generation will disappoint.

2016 Toyota Prius Two Eco 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

This car is fun to drive. It gives feedback and rates your eco driving on the go. Actually, it teaches the driver to proceed with economy. The car's driver visibility is a tremendous improvement over older models. The screen is a great improvement over the previous generation. We are impressed with the economy of this vehicle.

2016 Toyota Prius Three 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful
As a first time Prius owner, I'm hooked. It does take getting used to and I haven't learned all the features yet. Getting gas comes three weeks instead of 5-6 days. It's so quiet, I few times I left it running and only realized it when it beeped me as I walked away. It's a push button power-no keys. I'm hooked.

This is the first car that I have owned that exceeds the mileage that is expected by what is on the window sticker. First two fill ups, 58.4 miles per gallon. A very nice surprise.

I ended up with a Prius due to a strong, strong recommendation from a family member who swears by them. I took a data-driven approach to justifying the purchase, showing that the Prius is the car the minimizes lifetime cost for a set of safety, reliability, and size characteristics. Here the Prius has lived up to my expectations. So yes, the Prius does often make sense for your brain. However, make sure that it's really the car that you actually want too. A bunch of things beyond the numbers really bug me about it. The outside is really ungainly, and the inside's high contrast color scheme isn't my style. The center speedometer I thought would be fine, but when I hold my hand around 2 o'clock on the steering wheel, my hand blocks it. Without a doubt the Prius is an incredibly well engineered car, but that's not all there is to a car purchase. If I were doing it again, I'd choose one of the many other cars that is also well engineered but looks and feels a bit more conventional.
