Review
I bought the Prius C when it was launch in March '12 and I absolutely enjoyed driving. I will leave my Beemer at home when I drive to Orchard Road. This car is superb when you are driving in heavy traffiic conditions. The aircondtitioning is good, no woriries about overheating, no wastage in fuel as the engine is switched off automatically in a traffic jam.
For normal driving, it is more fun than the average hatchback. Lots of grip, because it got ABS, ESP(Electronic Traction Control) & VSC (Vehical Stability Control). VSC is usually only in more expensive cars. It makes handling in the wet so much safer compared with its bigger brother the Altis.
At a reasonable price, I think Toyota will be able to sell many of these if there is more advertising on this fastastic Hybrid Car
Simply love it!
What I like
Nice Design, Sporty Looks, and very Economical
What I do not like
Hard Dashboard

Review
Often you'll find yourself with many damaging jolts to your heart driving under gantries or seeing the fuel tank empty between trips to work, picking up family and friends. While a small car series is very pocket friendly, nothing cuts it quite like the hybrid in letting you know you still have 700km to go.
The only obvious competitor to this is the Honda Fit Hybrid. However, the EV mode sets the Prius C as the clear winner as for the most frugal lot, it lets you roll downhill and ride around free as much as you can on zero petrol.
The other big problem with hybrids is whether they can have enough acceleration and passing power when you need to quickly overtake or cut in. Thankfully there is no gear changing lag like the Fiat Punto or dying acceleration in Chevrolet models before the Cruise. This bugger is fast!
What I like
The EV Mode - if i can roll down Genting and charge my motor, i will be able to reach KL without even starting the petrol engine. Hybrid on the other hand may require some drops of petrol for the speed breakers.
What I do not like
Lack of sports seats. It's too family friendly, and it's the era of sports hybrids. This clearly can qualify based on performance, but for some reason the interior is too "thanksgiving-table" traditional.

Review
When the Prius C was launched, I couldn't help but put myself in for the launch update by Borneo. And I've never regret since the sales person call me up and update me on the launch.
1 week after launch and massive info searching online, I pretty much decided on the car except the need to test it out in flesh.
Yes, the car is a hybrid - so what? fuel price isn't exactly at it's cheapest today.
Yes, the car does not drive excitingly - this car isn't built for such abuse. It's meant to be abuse for long distance driving (yes, that's right)
It's lacking in space & comfort - not to me, try putting 4 full grown oversize adult with 1 day pack and drive all the way to Penang on a single fuel tank (well close to single, I did not risk it at Taiping so i fueled up there). The size was perfect, front passenger get a good sleep, back passengers well spread out. Noises are pretty much bearable at 100km/h.
What I like
Fuel efficiency
Good number of specs (seriously, at the launch price, you get bluetooth and stuffs)
Great comfort for the price level
What I do not like
Sound insulation
Wish they could have a "wagon" version like Honda Fit Shuttle
The impending $20k rebate on new car register (maybe time to upgrade to Prius)

Review
Driving pleasure is good. But what is most important is the saving on fuel every month could offset little bit on paying the high COE. It has been already one week driving the car and the myth of burning 36L to get approximately 980km with usual driving habits. I think it is possible to hit 1000km with only one full tank if every time driving less RPM. Overall I am happy with the performance despite the size is little small compare to a normal saloon.
What I like
Fuel saving
Features such as monitoring the performances
What I do not like
Boot space is little small
