It's for boring penny pinchers. That's not what life is? about!
boring car.?
It's not for me, I saw one in action the other day....man oh man, it was small? and slow.(I was bored) on the highway I was speechless(not fast or decent) but it will probably please some one else.
I have 8,500 miles on my Prius C and love it. The car gets better than rated gas mileage and? I use it to deliver newspapers. I also had a 2002 Prius prior with 215k miles and that was a great car as well. I looked into the Nissan Versa sedan and Honda Fit. I made the right decision. Thanks Toyota Love Ya.
what does safety? orange mean?
thats kind of high imo I got a 3 with a sunroof mats and allows and ext warranty my final price was 26,400?
hahaha 1:29 shows? fuel economy at 40 mpg.
Test drove the Prius C and found the acceleration dangerously poor for highway use. You can literally slam the gas pedal to the floor and the only thing that happens is the engine makes a lot of noise but? you'll notice that you are going no faster. The only use that I can see for this car after test driving it is in an urban setting where no highway driving is necessary. It would be perfect in San Francisco or NYC. Do not buy this car for mixed use city/highway!
I have bought the Prius C package 2 (same as in the video) the real price after all the fees is ~25,000 dollars. I got 96.2mpg in the city yesterday. I'm really happy about this car, and the plastic is? not cheap, it's decent, and nobody should care about it if they are getting this kind of MPG. On the freeway (going 70mph) I was getting 56MPG.
i dont? know for 5 or 6 k more i rather get the camry hybrid what yall ladies think?
this is the? car until the 60 mpg car comes along...may be in 2016...?
Lo mejor,? está vendiendo más que el VOLT Y LEAF JUNTOS, por algo sera. TOYOTA ES TOYOTA japones 100%
Prius c has more rear leg room than a Yaris, to? the point of making the back seat of the Yaris uncomfortable yet comfortable in the Prius. After 100K miles, the cost difference of the Yaris and Prius C will be paid for due to fuel savings alone, not considering reduced maintenance cost and higher resale value of the Prius C.
Hybrid Drive train has an 8yr 80K mile warranty? in most states and a 10 yr 150K mile warranty in the rest of the states (esp. california). If anything goes wrong with the most expensive part of the car, you should be covered.
That's funny since Consumer Reports tested a? 10 year old Prius with 100K miles on it and it performed as new. The Prius has proven to be a very reliable car.
Golf? TDI, ftw!
It's a sub-20k hybrid.? They had to cut costs somewhere. This thing is going to sell like crazy. No doubt about it.
WOw it actually looks? decent...
Ha ha ha.. your funny!
This car starts at 19K dollars..... and it has a 3-4K hybrid system. Toyota's hybrid system costs more than peanuts to manufacture since its a planetary system. OH YEAH... and the car is built in Japan, and makes it a pricey import due to appreciating yen
Until I see other automakers adding synthetic stitched dashes and plush door trims to sub-20K hybrids, you can shut your mouth and appreciate the car for what it really is: an economical and practical car for the 99% ?
I? love this prius.
i agree?
I couldnt agree more with people here. I saw this at my local? dealer. I not too crazy with the styling but when i saw the interrior it's hideous...1990s all over again. I don't how the Scion has nice interior and Toyota doesn't . U guess they hire the European for their Scion brand and left the Japanese on the other side...Get with the program Toyota.
The? upcoming 1.0 Ecoboost engine will destroy this complicated thing
