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

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..

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

Actually, this is more like second car for city commuting.  I have a Honda Odyssey that take cares of moving people and cargo. 

My wife is happy with any car and the Altis is fine with her too now.  She drove 60-70km everyday going to work and fetching 2 kids to school and tuition. Its just me who like to try new technology and I find the Prius C have most of the goodies like 7 airbags, cruise control(which I never use), telescopic steering, Keyless Ignition and entry, ABS, etc.  But what really excites me is the 53mpg which most reviews say its easily achievable on the Prius C.

I won't buy a Prius for 40k more.  I rather buy an accord or camry at that price. 

I won't buy an Insight because I really hate the low roof of the passenger seat. and also the "second class" hybrid technology (this is a fact so no need to flame anymore).

Look like more or less u r firm... go for it i would say bro...

My brother in law went to test drive the car yesterday and came back disappointed. 

Sound proofing very poor...can hear wind and tyres sound very clearly.  Dashboard quality very poor and the very small cabin(smaller then Vios).

Basically he said not worth it for Rm99K(in Sarawak).

you are basically paying for a myvi with hybrid technology . get CR-Z la. Dashboard quality  handling  but cabin space  girls also go  opps, forgot you're married

Ehk, seriously? I thought the sound proofing and the dashboard are pretty good to me when I was test driving. As for the cabin, I would say it's just nice for a compact car - not too small, not too big.

Your bro in law comparing with Merz or something big ah? Or I guess different people have different opinion about it

Better try it yourself. I would say soundproofing prius c vs vios is about the same. But vios engine noisier for sure.
Also test Jazz hybrid, Insight, or include forte 2.0 and inspira due to price similarity (though their FC way off).

Scouting for a new car is an exciting activities. To be fair, try cars from the same class or price back to back. You'll be surprise how a world class, well known manufacturer kid us with their strippedown model.

for reference...

What da.... so fast the car got WWW 8888 already?! the salesperson told me WWW will only open for tender in early April lol

that is right.. the WWW only available from 1 April....
