It is what it is - 2013 Toyota Prius c
By mgoods24 - October 22 - 11:05 amI have owned my PC2 for 6 months now and have put just over 7k on it. I purchased it to be my commuter vehicle. I wanted something simple, reliable, and efficient. The PC is all of that. My wife and I took it on a 1500 mile road trip and found it more than comfortable enough for two people and gear. The only disappointments I have with it are some rattles coming from inside the dash and I have not achieved the fuel economy numbers others have mentioned. Averaging 44-45 over the life of the car. This is a small complaint since very few vehicles can get that on their best day. *Note to residents of colder climates. I notice about a 10% drop in fuel economy under 40 degrees F.

love it - 2013 Toyota Prius c
By jummy - January 8 - 7:55 amIve only had it for 3 days, but Im in love with it because of the gas mileage. This is my first hybrid, and Im kicking myself for not getting one sooner. I drive about 120 miles a day, and Ive been averaging close to 60 MPG local, and have been right at 50 MPG highway. These are the mileage numbers from the onboard display; Ill check them when I fill the tank, but if theyre anywhere close Ill be saving about $100 / month in gas compared to my current car. The Prius C cost about $1500 more than the Honda Civic I was considering, so Ill break even on price in about a year and a half; sooner if gas prices go up. As a plus I get to drive in the HOV lane on the NJ Turnpike.
