after driving from KL-Cyber, Cyber-KL..the itchiness of modding suddenly come back

probably will add bars for better cornering when it release

driving constantly 110-120 using MEX h/way

certainly is more quiet than Insight

but damn...I don't know how to play with the player...cannot adjust the bass and treble setting?

Never goto KL city to show off your Prius C especially to girls? Test the cornering & acceleration.

congratulations... hope mine will get soon. what color u get?

Get back black colour although black hard to maintain but my previous Vios also black and doesn't have any bad luck

since when u book your prius c ? im book on early march, don't when can get the car.

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.

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?

choi! is depend how we define what bad luck is

Prius C owner building up.. no more Honda boy here recently liao geh?

no full link hybrid?

I just confirm with my SA. Need to wait 6 months for it. Got the Orange with DVD unit ^^ . Anyone realise the reverse camera have no line one TT..

What u mean no line, is it wireless connection to the reverse camera..?

I might consider Toyota's OEM optional Panasonic DVD-AVN after comparison with outside ICE installer.
Reason: 1.Although we can get cheaper or better set outside, but not all workmanship is pro n some is also quite messy. Some prefer factory fitted.
2.Not really cheap as I thought bcos for better quality branded units 6.1"-7" touch screen with bluetooth, usb, ipod, aux without GPS n reverse
camera is around RM1.4-1.6k. With add on GPS n HD reverse camera is RM2.4k, just different of Rm600 fr toyota's Rm2,990.
3.If we replace outside; our standard unit just can only keep as spare unit or as standby for install it back when we sell the car or pass it to
other toyota cars. This is due to the toyota's standard unit must connect to its car connectors n it will not works on other cars bcos it's an OEM
unit design only for UMW toyota.

Two Options: Install the toyota's optional DVD-AVN unit which is expensive n forget about the standard unit
or install outside n keep the standard unit as spare.

The problem with the toyota dvd, it can only function when the handbrake is on. This can be modified for it to works but will void the unit warranty.

deleted double post.

I don't know this can fit to Prius C or not, it has GPS, Bluetooth, DVD Player, Touch Screen at only RM1688.

The missing Prius 1.8 Voice Command Control on "C" steering wheel is due to UMW's cut cost factor. So you've chose the optional dvd-avn...
Does the 6.1" touch screen hv the Voice Command.? If got, at least not too bad.. The VCC only exist in the US market, Jap version steering
wheel is the same as ours.

We are lucky bcos our Prius C spare tyre is a full size alloy rim not like US 2 specs for spare is a steel rim cover by 2 foam which is fragile,
brittle n easily crack. Another spec is without a spare tyre but comes with repair kit sealant + electric pump (just like our local Jazz Hybrid).

The one features that I missed is the essential "TPM"(Tyre Pressure Monitor) features which is reallyy cool. Only available in US market, sigh..

When did u get yours n how long u waited? What's the color n any discounts or freebies?
Mine booked mid Feb n will be gettin it next week, but I prefer to take it later on May bcos waitin for car registration no.
Let's form a Baby Prius C club..

Getting a spare tyre watever type is ok lo... Some car not even come with spare tyre now... Lol

Thks, wil chk it out..

Oh not to sure about the voice command. As seem when you dial need to press the screen. Hopefully they got voice command.

I think malaysia version is better than USA as we have motion sensor alarm. Meaning when u off ur car. if somebody break in it will trigger the alarm. U can try by winding down ur window and lock the car. And wave ur hand inside.

I book mine last weekend. My SA say I need to wait 6 months. TT. Orange colour. But he told me the one without AVN is ready stock ^^ but i rather want with AVN ^^ .

Wow.. i didnt know about the TPM.

Freebies is antithief tint and cash discount. How about u guys ?
