Hi Prius C owners, I'm silver PC owner here wanted to get to know all of you and sila tunjuk ajar...juz driving it for a month..fanstactic car to zip-zap around..

Just got myself a cargo tray, it's not an exact fit but it'll do for now, there was another one but it didn't fit. My umbrella fits perfect under the tray sides and my emergency kit fills up the gap on the side. I also have a container that still fits perfect with the tray there. Whilst it's not a perfect tray fit it is more than enough to function as one. I will put the other smaller container there just to show you guys how much fits in there snugly. If you are in KK you can get the same one in Kolombong store (sorry I forget the name, but if anyone really wants to know I can go check it for those in kk) near that Survey supermarket (past Towering). The price was $19.90RM, the bigger tray that did not fit (you could probably cut it some but prolly not worth doing that (the cost was $35RM) unless you are really good at that stuff.

The dimensions of this tray are:
H6.5 x W59 x L88 cm
I tried measuring the cargo area and it's about 91-96cm length and 66-68cm width (sorry, I just got general estimates). The height of the tray was fine, just under the height of the cargo lip so it doesn't jut out too much.


You can see the red umbrella at the top right

This is to show the fit on the right side

The emergency kit on the left side

And now with two containers and an old ass Nokia Classic 1680 for size reference (lol).

It's not exactly pretty but if you really don't want crap dripping or whatever in the back this could be an alternative for now (maybe now I can go fishing... not, I don't want to stink the car up hehe).

Btw, I was going around my neighbourhood on my motorcycle for fun just then and I spotted the house of the owner with the only orange Prius C that I've seen in KK so far. I think Prius C owners are concentrated in my area cos I've seen so many, population is growing

I kept my Myvi cargo tray and it fits very well.

What's that look like? Mind taking a pic of it so I can see? I've never seen the myvi cargo tray. Btw, what car cover will fit the PC (preferably one with material that can breathe so it doesn't trap moisture and preferably something not prone to scratching)? I'm getting sick and tired of my cats muddy paws, one of my fat cats is in detention. Looks like I'll have to pull out the vinegar arsenal and spray all around the ground and maybe some thick layers of newspaper on car with vinegar scents (of course none of that will be getting anywhere near paintwork). I just need to discourage all 6 cats from even getting near. I'm sure pepper spray will work where the vinegar fails. I'll even go as far as putting some orange peels all over the place. At least the vinegar also discouraged my dogs too, so no pee attempts on rims either. I only used a lil bit of distilled vinegar but tons of apple cider vinegar heh. No idea if there is any difference but I will stop diluting it with water and make it full strength if it helps with deterring them. I'll let you guys know.

Nice tray bro!

nice tray ^^ I wonder can get it somewhere in KL?

When received our PC, SA should have wash & clean for us. That is good enough, no need to wax.

Is better save your time & energy to wax another time.

I believe in 1st 3 month, just normal car wash is enough. Unless your car super dirty & need another protection.

I wax after 2 weeks I received my car, after waxing, it is easy to clean car, car wax add another protection layer on car paint, and what you need is just use water to wash car once a week, car will be as shine as new.

Dear PC owners, anyone interested or there is already a PC club to organise gathering for all PC owners in KL?

Fully agree. Mine is 2 months old now. Use it daily and wipe every 1-2weeks. Still easy to clean with just a wet cloth and felt slippery. No stubborn stain.

i apply shine and shield at kedai 1 week after i got the car.

Anyone can confirm the Front & Back Tire Pressure (PSI) needed for PC?

I found out the current tire pressure is 46 PSI, seem too high.

The std PSI is written at the side of the door. First car for you?

I believe is around 33-36 PSI.
However, I pump to 42-43 PSI at the moment to save fuel. Will try other combination see whether which combo suit ur style better. The PC mostly carry 1-2 person most of the time. I will try 46 PSI on next fuel up to see any saving.

Just remember don't overpump your tyre sidewall limit can d...I believe is 49-50PSI range?

I saw another orange pc today, it wasn't from the house I saw that other night (different plate). So now I've seen two orange ones in KK.

I seen a lot d so far. Never calculate also

Dunno where can get in KL, but I'm sure there would be more choices on your end. I only waxed mine like a week or two after getting it. When I received my car it wasn't washed at all or didn't seem to be. Plus there were horrific marks on the hood that could only be seen in sunlight at specific angles. I've been having different problems though with cats sitting on my car so I've had to wash more than often. Also I must have the hardest water known to mankind and it leaves the most unsightly water spots if not wiped within 5 minutes or so (even in garage shade). I still haven't done any coating and probably won't be for a while until I save up enough (gzox coating is only available where I am afaik).

I saw quite a lot of PC now in Penang. Mine still no news... :-(

This is not my first car. Yes, normally you can see the std PSI note at the side of the door. But I can't find on my PC. Mind to take a picture to show me?

I will prefer to pump as the standard to prevent unstable in high speed & have even tire wear out.

Now I still not see any of Aqua Blue & Blue Metallic PC other then mine. Seem these 2 colours still rare on the road.

I use half a bucket of diamond filtered water to wipe. No mineral stain.

Added on June 20, 2012, 9:17 amUS manual says 35psi front; 33 rear. My car's sticker says 32psi for both. May the weather here is hot and pressure will raise during use.
