Consumer Review Video - 2017 Toyota Prius Four 1.8L 4 Cyl.

Common problems and easy repairs on a 2017 Prius

The 2017 Toyota Prius Four is an easy car to maintain. The engine air filter housing can be disengaged without the use of tools, allowing for quick and reliable filter access. Connecting your phone via Bluetooth isn’t a problem on account of the straightforward instructions on the touchscreen menu. Both the interior and engine fuse boxes are easy to access, and the latter comes provided with a fuse puller for your convenience.

However, the 2017 Toyota Prius Four has a handful of downsides. The entire rear bulb housing must be removed to access any of the tail lights, which will require tools and won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. Accessing the petcock may be a problem as you must work upside-down while underneath the vehicle to first remove a large panel. This Prius only comes provided with a compressor kit, which may be ineffective in the event of a serious flat.
