1) Spare Tyre: not a big issue, after all who care to use the spare when there is 24hrs on call service offered by insurance companies. Also the spare tyre is meaningless for ladies.

2) Air cond: if u need the air cond, just off the Econ mode, then the engine will re-start back very fast. But with air cond mean consume more fuel.

3) 120km/h? sure no problem, this car can speed from 90 to 130 real fast. over take at high speed no problem! in addition, I done that with ECON On for my Insight...

I drove my Insight for 1 year plus, felt happy. No after tested Prius C & Jass Hybrid, I decided to get the Jazz Hybrid for my wife. During test drive, I'm impress that Jazz can reach 100km/h with RPM at around 1000 plus!

Long term maintenance I not sure, but thinking of Toyota is having additional component called PSD and hybrid air-cond pump, really make me worried!
PSD unit still I don't known what the hack is that. But for air-cond compressor, normally will kapuk around 5-8 years. Normal compressor will cost RM800, recond mb RM400, but Prius using Hybrid type compressor which it not widely use & hard to find recond replace. Cost how much? just estimate yourself la...

Prius C - got spare tyre .Jazz Hybrid - don't have.Prius C - service is cheaper than jazz hybrid.Prius C have better mileage than Jazz Hybrid.Prius C has lower CO2 emission than Jazz H.Prius C engine is 1.5 and Jazz H is 1.3.But Jazz wins over appearance and interior

PSD is Power Split Device, it is also act as electronic CVT, PSD has less moving part, hence longer lifespan.

Prius C uses DC inverter compressor, just like the household inverter air-cord compressor, it should be quite long lasting.
