Thanks for you advise.  Will definitely out the Prius C when I am back home.  I will not consider the Insight  & Jazz Hybrid as I find the IMA not very impressive.  Not very interested in Korean car( although I must admit that the recent Korean offering absolutely put the jap to shame) because over here in Sarawak, the Korean cars have very poor after sale service and the service centre is really second grade and that somehow translate to very poor resale value.

I don't really need to buy a Prius C unless it really impress me to the extend that I want to let go the Altis.

We'll see.

Just went to show room, after comparing the cars with other model, few this is one of the most worthy car to buy. As it offer push start engine, smart entry, cruiser, 7 air bags, VSC, TRC, colour dashboard display & etc, which Altis, Vios, Fiesta & others don't have it. It will be so much if you add up the cost to install.

If you are going for compact car, probably is a good choice. Only if you don't mind the bad design of interior which most of us complain about.

i saw both the jazz and prius C. for me, both are very good, but the jazz is a much better looking car with better interior. for once, hybrid cars dont have to sacrifice the car's headroom and legroom.

however, i still prefer the prius' HSD over the jazz.

I am very excited about the Prius C because of all the features you mention above and even have telescopic steering wheel which my Honda Odyssey don't even have.  Cars like Camry in Malaysia also don't have telescopic Steering wheel if I am not wrong.  But for most people including myself, I find it difficult to pay RM100k for a compact car unless it is truely exceptional.  Again I could get a Myvi for half the price which is even more spacious yet it serve the same purpose.

not sure about other... this CBU car some part really a bit different from local assemble car... 

for example..  the bonet to the bumper line.. there is rubber in between to seal air/dust going in from there...

Prius C vs Jazz Hybrid

Wonder if any of you guys face the same dilemma ?

With a very simple to choose Prius C, HSD is much better then IMA. Prius C have EV mode which Honda don't have. You can cruise quietly in neighbor hood with EV mode. (won't wake up your wife/mom when you back home late )

cruising quietly also has some cons, ppl complain in mall car parks,
when using HSD EV mode, pedestrians simply cannot hear your car coming, can cause accidents.

Then probably Jazz is the best choice for you. I can sense you prefer Jazz hybrid, but due to Prius C have more pros that make you confuse. Probably at 100k you can even opt for fiesta, Peuguot, Madza which run on petrol & much more fun to drive & cheaper.

As I rather cruise in EV mode especially indoor or swapping car at home. Really waste of petrol when you just need to move & park your car.

That's why Prius C Japanese version has pedestrians warning system to generate car driving sound to alert people when in slow moving EV mode. Malaysia version seems doesn't have it!
