Agree that smaller car easier to maneuver & park. I also mostly drive alone also & always feel waste of petrol driving alone with big car.

Think of the Tax Exempted, it is quite worthy to buy it. If after Tax, definitely it will cost over 120k.

I really like the current Civic when compare to the Altis and since pweic would trade the Civic for a Prius C, I guess I should have no problem doing the same for the Altis.

Will probably be home on Thursday and it so happen that Toyota will be having the Prius in Miri this weekend. Will definitely go check it out.

Basically all Toyota NVH is better than Honda (Except Avanza / Innova) their vios/altis/camry has better NVH no doubt so not surprise Prius and C has better NVH...

Honda R and K series Engine has a very rough V-Tec roar which some might like it some may not

Overall I think all Hybrid has a very quiet characteristic be it HSD or IMA so far I found all Hybrid very quiet on engine part...

Sorry pro... I found the engine very noisy in ur be love car....

saw one prius C on the road dy.

looks wide.

Dont know bout you... my ride is pretty quiet until I get irritated by the item in my glove compartment moving around...

u guys should get a room....

He is a TOYOTA SALESMAN....

oh... shi* I think I insulted him.....

I heard Insight has a really noisy engine.

if you rev insight engine till 4-5k rpm yes cause of the VTEC implementation and the swirl in the cylinder head... can notice...

but generally if you maintain low rev cruising say between 2-3.5k rpm you will enjoy quiet ride... overall I found the tyre noise is very high Honda uses low resistance tyre which is very hard in nature and the noise surpass the engine noise...

Bro.. Just go n try it out.... Experience it by ur self better than Honda fanboy tell u million of time...

Later u heard those full link hybrid term again....

Congrats! When did you make the booking?

Mine is in the loooong waiting list

honda car with vtec engine is suppose to give u the roar/engine lover sound -.-" if got anyone complain about it, then the car is not for u
i havent seen any prius c in ipoh yet haha...still waiting ^^
anyone driving one in ipoh?

no1. I did say Generally Hybrid car is much more quiet compare to non hybrid be it HSD or IMA

no2. Yes Honda Engine is more spirited well it is their DNA anyway some like it some dont... but generally if you rev all HONDA engine you will notice a certain ROAR from the engine it is design that way... some like it some dont... OLD folks dont generally thats why you see old people like Toyota more...

no3. yep I insulted him....

Btw, the backseat and cargo are sort of limited compared to Civic, so if you have children riding along it might not be suitable.

from the design itself already show that prius c is meant for style rather than spacious feel.. honda crz and prius c go hand in hand..roughly that kind of slight limited space but it's sufficient for some people..

AGREE.... thats why PriusC and Fiesta Hatch out of my consideration (JAZZ / CRz Hybrid too) .... but not willing to pay additional 40K for a Prius... what to do...

That why i wonder the c suit lightning or not... think the prius more suit...

U mean, those hate Honda is an old man?

Anyway, Prius C, as i mention earlier if u can get over that whining brake sound, its all yours.
I cant get over my altis gearbox whining last time hence, change car.

Well generally one must admit and move on hahaha.... tell me you now prefer much more confortable / smooth and quiet ride compare to the good old days where we buy car for handling / performance / sweet sound of the engine hahaha

Added on March 20, 2012, 10:41 amI think priusC has the boot space similar to Myvi maybe a little more same as Fiesta and Jazz this category car is suitable for secondary town drive car and not suitable for family outstation trip (maybe if you are single and not quite available you can use this type of car to travel outstation for luggage of 2 people) in this category those who hate hybrid can go for Polo / Fiesta Hatch / Jazz or Yaris... and for those who want HYBRID (ala tree hugger) have option for Honda Jazz Hybrid / Toyota PriusC and those who prefer a more sporty feel can have CRz and CT200h

while Prius and Insight offer full boot space good for those who want to buy car as a Main family vehicle (ala primary vehicle) can have option for Toyota Prius and Honda Insight
