Poor quality

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

After 3 years it's safe to say I will not buy a Toyota again. Paint chips and scratches with as little as a fingernail -(confimed paint defect) random loud clacking noise upon starting ("nothing wrong" according to dealership) trim coming off after first year- cheap flimsy exterior and I'm now questioning the safety and reliability. Will buy a Subaru when they go electric for next car

I love this car! It is so comfortable and has almost everything going for it. I love the general comfort, the feel of the car when driving, the super adjustments of the front seat and the technology. The adaptive cruise control was definitely worth the extra money for the top model. I wish there was back vents for the air conditioning. I have had my car for almost three years now and I still love it. I feel like my body fits into it comfortably and gets me to an appropriate height to see out the front well. The front drivers seat adjusts up and down which is great. The visibility out the sides is much better than my old standard Prius. I have not had any problems with it and besides general maintenance I have only needed to replace tires this year.

I am 6 - 4 and I am comfortable in the driver’s seat. Comfortable, quiet, reliable, great mileage. I significantly upgraded the sound system.

The best time to buy a hybrid is when gas prices are low. Great deal, stellar fuel economy, and very roomy for stuff (comparable to small SUV with 2x the fuel economy and good handling (not great).

in 3 months went to fix 2 times,don't start,the towing guy show me receipts for 7 prius daily,very bad sign, never go to west kendall toyota,very bad customer service,got my new plate after 7 days the temporary expire,fast service department but don't know what happen with my prius v 4,they only have 1 master technician for prius to resolve starting problems and reset software and he is on vacations,keep driving but scare about reliability,good on gas,smooth ride but paying $37.560 for a prius???? its ridiculous,same price that any lexus,no government incentives,just for all electric cars or plug-in,after my last visit now my car don't recognize the key,need to press to open doors and use the key just in front of the start bottom to start the car,even doing that,some times don't start,is amazing,don't recommend to buy a prius,price to high,if you use your car for daily commute you will get your money back on saving gas in 10 years,time to change the car,I driving with Uber and Lyft and only one thing is great ""45 mpg" combined,that's it. still very angry with west Kendall Toyota,horrible customer service,I already trade in my Prius for a Honda pilot,I waited for a GAP,Service contract and Tire hazard cancellation refund for more than 6 month,never go with that dealer again. the Prius V was always broke,my opinion is the same,best thing is 45 mpg,that's it,to much electronic and computers failing. the resale value is horrible,still having 12,000 dollars upside down,the unique toyota that loose value daily. years after I had my prius v 5,my opinion still the same about dealer customer service but the quality of prius v is better now,the future is electric cars but the mile range is to low if you drive uber or lyft,so the hybrid cars will be the best option for ever.
