Many issues

I just took it in for a third time to get sensors dialed down. My horn alarm goes off after a rain. Horn goes off while I’m driving. Horn wouldn’t stop until I dismantled it. This has to be fixed by Dealership. They have tried 3 times Dealership in Tucson is not honorable.

Vehicle not for everybody.

We purchased this vehicle because 95% of our driving is local and myself and wife or both. Economy is prime consideration and the car delivers that. It has enough room for a couple of additional, i.e. grandchildren, and allows us to do our shopping needed. It does not ride that well and if people are inquiring about the vehicle I tell them if your bigger then us you probably don't want the C. My wife and I would be considered small people. I kept an older Sienna so if traveling any distance or have other adults riding with I take the van. The car works well for us.

Great car, great mileage, surprising room for a small car. Fun to drive. The only negative...excessive road noise.

2012 Toyota Prius C

Pros: fuel consumption as advertised (55 mpg), comfortable ride, excellent steering (minimal under- or over-steer), Synergy Drive is good and works very well with the cruise control. I consistently get above 55 mpg using this combination on extended trips. Cons: Heater is weak and the controls programmed by a confused mind, the headlight options are mysterious (same designer as the heater??) and the price (2014 model) steep given the listed cons. The packaged options are maddning.

Great gas mileage

This little car gets great mileage of course, when driven correctly. Don't gun it.. just go slow. I don't like how the doors sound when they close, it's not solid sounding at all.. I have had some fender benders in it and it survived.. no air bags deployed.. but kind of crumbles with a bang.. so not the safest on the road.. I will hopefully get a safer car soon.. But i do love the gas mileage.. ;) That is what keeps me smiling cause my other car ate the bank account.. this one saves it but i'm a little scared on the road with all the big trucks and cars and just feel like this car would compact with a big collision-- Other thing i don't like is the way the maps thingie- gets a glare from sun- so often times hard to see directions. Hills are very slow to climb. It handles well but not over 65mph.

Extremely reliable on gas

The Prius C is not a muscle car. As the smallest of the Prius offerings, it has very little space to spare, and no built in ability or structural capacity to handle a heavy load. The Prius C shines on the savings you get in gas. As an average I achieve 50 miles to the gallon. So even though the tank is small, 9.5 gallons, I can go 450 miles on one fill up. As a person whose place of works is 50 miles from my residence the Prius C is my choice for the drive on the daily grind.

Trade

I've just traded in my Prius C for a brand new 2015 Prius. The best place to purchase an automobile.

2012 PriusC

I love my car. Average slightly over 50 mpg over the 80,000 miles I have driven it. It is comfortable even though I am 6ft and 210 lbs.

My Prius C

I love this little car! It is great getting such wonderful gas mileage. If I had one negative thing to say, it would be, that it is not a car that I can drive in the snow, so I have been unable to take it on some of the trips I would like to.

Prius C

It has a very good gas savings. I have gotten with normal driving about 60 MPG on a fairly flat surface and over about 10 mile distance. I is a nice size for me, and it would sit four people nicely and fit in MOST parking spots.

Awesome car

I love my Prius C, best car I ever had, of course there would be some things better, like defrosted mirrows or so, but only very minor things. Will buy another Prius when it is time.

Lube service

The service was fast and and they did what the car needed and that satisfied what I wanted done. The employees KNEW what the car needed to keep it running correctly. When they saw something thar needed additional service they told me what was needed and gave me the options to do it now or to wait for another time.

Dependable and efficient.

I have been completely satisfied with my Prius C. I use it like a truck, hauling items in the back by lowering the back seats. I have been astounded by how much I can carry. The mileage consistently averages around 50 MPG. At near 80,000 miles, I have only needed oil changes.
