Just paid a visit to Subang Toyota showroom, saw an orange color Prius C already display in the show room, but it is not allowed to perform test drive, test drive is only available in March.

My First impression

The prius is definitely bigger than Myvi, it is not like Myvi which is fat and short feeling (No offend to Myvi fan, just personal feeling), the body shape is more streamline than Myvi.

Cabin space is slightly bigger than Myvi, but feeling not as wide as Vios, back seat leg room is quite good, I'm 172cm and it still has around 8-10cm space when sit in the back seat, head room also pretty ok, felt like still has 8-10cm space in between. however, it is still a small car, fit in five persons will be very tight!

Dashboard is kinda simple, quality feel like so so only    Prius is way better than it.

Build quality looks good and solid.

The only disappointing part is the hybrid battery warranty, it is only 1 year warranty, *** !!!  car itself is 3 years or 100,000KM warranty.

Retail price is 94,307 without insurance, those who has 55% NCD will only need to pay 95,5xx to own this car.

Maintenance is 1K,5K,10K,20K,30K interval, maintenance cost is around RM100+ per service.

so overall, it is for single or young guy who doesn't have big family, wanna try the high tech driving and save the earth, don't mind the small boot space and interior, than it is the car that can seriously consider.

The waiting list of this car is currently around 3 months, I paid a RM800 booking fee (fullly refundable), if test drive is good, will get it in May/June.
