QUOTE(Kalist0 @ Mar 15 2012, 09:18 PM) yeap, hahaha and i have to sit like this \ instead of like this | lol. i even asked my mum to put back the front seats to its original place and i feel like suffocating. you wouldn't last a 5 minute drive to the mamak  one thing i dont like about crz is it doesnt have the hand holder thing on top of your head(dono what its called, when ppl drive fast you grab on it for your dear life). the car is kinda low and if i drive an old person, it would be hard for he or she to get out of the car. That's the grab handle. The rear is really cramp, i guess crz is for 2+2 seater.

I think it is undisputed who has the better hybrid technology so no point arguing over that anymore. With the launch of the Jazz Hybrid in Malaysia and the pricing which favors more towards the Prius C, I can see the Prius C gaining more sales now.

But Jazz still have its market, even though technology wise still not as good. Tomorrow gonna test drive Prius C, hope the performance & feature won't turn me off.

-Toyota announced today that the Prius C sold 1,201 units in just the first three days it was on sale, outsells monthly totals of Chevy Volt, Nissan Leaf in three days. -If anything, those 1,201 sales are not as impressive as the C managed in Japan (where it is badged 'Aqua') – Toyota obtained 120,000 orders in the first five days it was on sale. -Prius V sold about 8,400 units in the U.S. in the first ten weeks. http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/16/toyota-...lt-nissan-leaf/This post has been edited by cody1508: Mar 17 2012, 03:47 AM

But how long will the gov't give tax exemption to hybrid?

I've tested both Prius C and Honda Jazz Hybrid, and now I understand why alot of people cancelled the booking on the Honda Jazz (If that's what I read correctly in a few earlier posts  ). Honda really dont have the true hybrid yet and with that Honda Jazz price, I would rather (definitely soooo much rather) save RM3k+ more for the Prius C because of its technology.

Can you give more details of the test drive and the comparison like comfort, built, cabin size, power and sound proofing etc?

They know that the ima is no match for the synergy hybrid. The only reason the Insight can sell is because there is not competition back then , but the ball game is changing with the launch of the Prius C.
