A good car for people for travels a lot.» Read More
Very fuel economical.. on average I use this car > 3000km/month.
Reliability was good.. never really have big issue except the mess cause by the authorise service centre that spoil my brakes.
This small car is good for small family with good agility but the handling was not that good, thus need further upgrade on strut, ARB, tyres, shock or rims..
Anyway enjoy riding on this car...
Previously was using Honda Fit.. -
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.» Read More
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! -
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.» Read More
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! -
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.» Read More
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.
For a decade and a half, the Toyota Prius has been the leader of hybrid cars. And it wasn't until recently when
Toyota decided to manufacture a smaller model of the Prius which would offer an even higher mileage compared to
its predecessors.
Due to its compact size, this hatchback variant to the Prius sibling has been created to excel in getting great mileage and manoeuvrability in tighter road conditions. The 'C' at the end of the name badge stands for 'city' implying a Prius based city car.
The car continues to boast efficiency figures – not surprising when it is powered by the same hybrid powertrain as its bigger twin. The Japanese marque knew that a good way to ensure the longevity of a particular model was to continuously create more innovative iterations of an already successful model.
Despite sharing a similar silhouette to the Yaris, the hybrid hatch is instantaneously recognisable as a Prius, thanks to the signature hybrid blue Toyota logo and 'hybrid' badging. The Prius C is akin to a newborn baby - friendlier, younger and cuter from all angles.
The Prius C bears the same fascia with similar styled sharp headlamps flanked by triangular foglight apertures while the rear end sports its very own chopped off design. From any angle, it's hard to fault the car and the same goes for its interior, with its dual-toned dash, straightforward dials, leather upholstered benches and multi-functional steering wheel.
Despite the acres of plastic used, the cabin is a decent place to be in. Everything is solidly put together with absolutely no indication of insecurity. There are ample of cubby holes that provide front occupants the convenience of placing their loose items.
Despite its compact dimensions the Prius C is generous with space with credits going to the battery pack located under the rear seats. This opens up additional room for passengers and boot space, while simultaneously improving the Prius C's handling.
What really took us by surprise is the list of standard features available - Bluetooth, Aux-in/USB port and a myriad of safety features such as the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Traction Control (TRC), Hill Assist Control (HAC) and Vehicle Stability Control (VAC).
Starting up the car does not provide you with flashy theatrics but just a simple welcome note from the Multi Information Display. There isn't a single sound from the engine that gives itself away. Still, the car proves to be quite a lively little thing on the open road.
The 1.5-litre hybrid powerplant can produce a maximum of 100bhp and 111Nm of torque. Not a performance machine from the start, what's more important is the way it sips fuel while being driven hard. With figures such as 27km/L and 77g/km of CO2 emissions, the compact hybrid hatchback is one of the most fuel-efficient cars here.
The Prius C is targeted at the fun and younger audience. The fact that it's effortlessly efficient, and is in a perfectly practical package, is just icing on the cake. This compact hatch of a hybrid has such a lively attitude that it shows even when it's parked.
