Why did they even bother with the rear windshield wiper, the blade is shorter than a dollar bill. It's so cute, but sorta pointless.
It is pretty pathetic but at least it's something. Being such a low hieght window and having the brake light up tp, they couldn't really make it much bigger though. It is the smallest wiper I've ever seen that's for sure lol!! I am curious how much of the window it will clear when it snows here in Wisconsin.
My Prius C one does not have it an the glass gets very VERY dirty very quickly when it rains, i think even a tiny wiper is better than nothing.
Toyota was that cheap to not even include a rear wiper standard on the one?!? That's why I switched to Honda for quite a few years cause with Toyota, everything is an option. I said it would take a pretty special car for Toyota to lure me back so I guess the C is pretty special lol!! But I still hate the way Toyota makes you spend a fortune to get the even the minor things you want.
I laughed out loud when it rained a couple of days ago and I turned the rear wipers on for the first time!
Reviewers have already said it, but I think the One only exists as an advertising tool: Get one under $19k. No cruise control, intermittent wipers aren't variable, no engine immobilizer, no center console, no split rear seat, no cargo cover/light, etc. The Two, Three, and Four should have been the One, Two, and Three.
And the new Four should have had: backup camera subwoofer two speed seat heaters HDD Nav Radar assisted cruise Lane Keep Assist Optional solar roof for ventilation AND NiMH battery top-off Wi-Fi capability for all the Entune bells and whistles LED headlights and other lights power front seats homelink option to get liftback battery pack option to get those sweet australian mags The One should have been the Zero.
Yes, it's really small. I am a little embarrassed to even turn it on if someone is behind me! I think there should be two rear wipers to cover the width of the window.
Yep - when I turn it on in stop and go traffic I can almost feel the drivers in back staring and snickering.
My rear spoiler is different from what you guys have and I do seem to accumulate a surprising amount of rain on my rear window. It came as a bit of a surprise. Yes, the wiper is a tiny little thing but I need it!
