My previous Vios, 2 of my friends' Vios, my mom's boss punya old Camry and Altis also get from him, so we kinda know him very well already  whistling.gif

Added on March 26, 2012, 6:22 pmumw tmn midah have car for test drive..

That showroom biz so good, I went for half an hour with my father during weekday, no body entertain us. Told me Pruis C need to wait 6-7 mths, around October.

So rather go to other showroom(although further) but we customers deserve better treatment & maybe better discount & waiting period.

Prius C should be excellent for city driving with its very low fuel consumption in start/stop traffic and good pickup acceleration.  As a mid hatchback, it has good maneuverability in crowded places like a small Myvi but in a better body designed for greater safety and comfort - the back seat is wide and deep almost like a home sofa.  The doors can open out big for smooth access of children with heavy bags.

Unless its price AND maintenance are considered not affordable, Prius C has almost a perfect balance for your purpose.  We are taking delivery of a Pearl White Prius C this week mainly for my wife to send and fetch our kid (Primary 1 too), replacing our Peugeot 206 which is 6inch shorter.    Our current other ride is Kia Sportage 2011 which is a good value buy with its many modern features.

"The prius C has no belts.  It has a low friction timing chain of metal that last longer. 

The C has an electric power steering, Electric water pump, electric Aircon pump.  NO belts here.

Very little rubber to wear out in this Prius C engine."  The Bad here is that only Toyota trained and equipped workshop can service it.

You sound like a SA, explain so professionally.

The only issue of Prius C is cost & the poor interior design.

With the increasing oil price we facing, think is a smart move to invest in Hybrid car. icon_idea.gif

This is our first Toyota.  God bless us with a small good income and we think it is time to change car due to our kid now in Pri.1 in a city school.  The fuel saving benefit may take many years to recoup the extra cost of this new car.  Thanks also to duty free for hybrid car, and the Japanese government incentives for a less polluting car.

The interior design is very subjective.  It is made from eco material to be long lasting and easy cleaning.  The off-cut design is to create balance and visual space for both left and right front passengers, and I think it succeeded well in this goal.

What colour you booked? When your beloved car be arrived? Or you already driving it?

Please give a review and feedback of driving Prius C, especially on handling, speed, and fuel consumption.  Do you know how much per service and how long between service?

TQ  rclxms.gif

You should go & have a test drive, then you will feel all of it. Then further question can just ask SA.

ok la....driving highway, what do you expect? plus now need to adjust it back cuz it's been one month I was driving civic 1.8 to work  whistling.gif

salesman only pump RM20 for me only. not even half tank.

@hawk.

you should test drive yourself, but for sure I always compared with my vios cuz my vios handling very good cuz of all the bars i put in...so now i am waiting bars for Prius C  whistling.gif

Service is follow the normal car service. 1k, 5k, 10k.....no specific for hybrid car...just follow how you normally service your car.
*
Last time I test drive FC was about 15km/L, but if comparing to my Saga BLM manual FC is about 12-13km/L (not much different), and Saga BLM is more powerful & feeling the handling almost the same for Prius C. (maybe due to manual tongue.gif)

Now I'm struggling whether to change Prius C (2.5 times expensive of my car), cause I love my Saga BLM (low maintenance & cheap to drive) & lost 15k if trade in.

Only reason to buy is show off & more comfort & safety to drive.

Just got my silver prius c from kajang just now. Drive around town till midnite lol. I must say that the spec of the car itself is nothing, very common, but the technology really wow me. The door alarm lock like iphone, can play swipe2. Haha. Still cant get used to it every time lock/unclock the car with just swiping the handle.
Can get around 20km/ltre if light footed. But i dont think my mom knows how to control the footwork.
On the road, i get really distracted when reading the info on the screen, although usefull, i cant give a damn bout it when driving or my car start going to another lane. Or maybe im still not used to it
The rest are pretty common and similar like how the other forumers has done their review.
All in all, the car is relly worth it. And most importantly, my mom loves it
*
Wow.. when you book it? Heard SA said, currently all booking will need to wait for 6mths.

A little envy to those who got their Prius C

Our Prius C is imported from Toyota Motor Asia Pacific Pte Ltd  with AP granted to OTOMOBIL SEJAHTERA SDN BHD, a subsidiary of UMW.
On the customs declaration form, FOB cost is RM66,198.43 plus Freight RM3,009.69and insurance RM58.88.  10% Sales Tax of RM6,926.70 is payable while  Import and Excise duties are exempted.
Total cost is RM76,193.70 at Port Klang.  UMW has to add local distribution and marketing costs.  Selling Price is RM93,967 (OTR is RM97,000).  It seems the margin for Prius C could be below 18% !

If no exemptions,  30% Import Duty is RM20,780.10 , 75% Excise Duty is RM67,535.33 and then 10% Sales tax is RM15,758.24  for this CBU car!

Full CBU Japan except for local Reverse Sensors and Alarm systems with cabin motion sensors, and the stick-on number plates.
Audio headunit is oem from Pioneer DEH-M8247ZT a 2009 model with 4x40W output and value about RM220 online.

Wow, where you get this such detail intelligent information? laugh.gif

18% margin for UMW hmm.gif
