What Owners Say
""My catalytic converter was stolen last year. Last week thieves tried to steal the replacement too, and damaged it. I wish the design didn't require so much precious metal.""
Anonymous, CA (2013 Toyota Prius Five 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)""After about 2020, the navigation system cannot be updated. Toyota has the option to do this or not. I even contacted the navigation system manufacturer and they could not assist. Not being able to have the navigation system updated can lead to major problems on the road, especially when traveling. For this one reason alone, I will probably not purchase another Toyota.""
Anonymous, (2013 Toyota Prius Unsure 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"The seal on the sun roof has dried out and has popped up. No leak as of now. Hood paint is now pock marked forswear and the Sun. Not too bad right now."
Anonymous, MA (2013 Toyota Prius Three 1.8-L 4 Cyl hybrid)"I have a very slow oil leak from (I think) an aging gasket, which so far has not effected the car's drivability, fuel economy, or safety. Also, a sensor in the exhaust system needs replaced. Estimated total cost of repairs were over $3K, at the start of 2025. I bought the car used in 2019, so don't know whether the prior owner did anything to contribute to the overall wear and tear on the car before I bought it. Aside from that, I had one flat tire (which I fixed). But in any event, the car still runs well and still gets great gas mileage, even with the oil leak and sensor issue, which has yet to be fixed."

""Check Engine light comes on regularly and the dealer says it will ultimately need a new catalytic converter, which I can't afford. It started about 2 years and 10000 miles ago. No performance problem so far.""
