anyway, i read every single words, nice 1 bro.

few things here.

1. Prius C shoulder room? wide enough? for 6 footer
2. C's pick up?

no offence to owners here, IMO, C's display is kinda OK, but its looks like video games if compared side by side with Honda's

Finally finished an article comparing the 2 most affordable hybrids in Malaysia:

http://www.kensomuse.com/2012/05/toyota-pr...azz-hybrid.html

Hope you enjoy reading it

Good overview comparison, but I would like to add some comments here.

PriusC starts easily on electric motor that has 169Nm of torque. Jazz Hybrid starts like a regular car with the petrol engine which has peak rating of 121Nm at a high 4800 rpm which is assisted in series by a small electric motor 78Nm for a total 199Nm when pedal is press down to the max. The advantage for PriusC is naturally better fuel economy for everyday driving, and less engine maintenance costs.

Next, figures for 0-100kmh performance has PriusC with 10.7s easily beating JH slower 12.1s . This comes from PriusC having a sleeker lighter body and its 101PS total power which is a higher then the Jazz Hybrid's 98PS that is available near redline 5800rpm.

Hence, I have to disagree with this subjective comment of JH being quicker off the line.

a fair comparison. your angle as practical buyer, jazz will suited you more.

no rpm is no issue for me. i hardly miss it cos i hardly use rpm. this is a hybrid, not a racer. i dont need it to tell me when to change gear or if i am underreving. i already paid for the auto to take care of that part for me.

shoulder room is good. i got 2 big size guy sit inside and it was ok. no rubbing shoulders.
6 footer will find cramp at back and probably in front passenger. if u r 6 footer this car, like many compact hatch, is not for you.

pick up, is reasonable for a hybrid city car.

i havent really did a 0-100, but driving it around, i dont think it can make that figure (with my way of driving).
it does get from 10 to 50 fairly quick, but it really runs out of breath after 90, in my experience. before i ordered, i have also seen various sites quoting around 11.5s

will record a 0-100 after my 1st service is done la.

Hi mkhor, thanks for the compliment. As mentioned, I do not have the full engine performance specification and have no doubt your data is correct.

With such an earlier gap in my information, I could only share what I "felt" in terms of acceleration and does not necessarily translate to real world figures. Apologies for the wrong impression created.

I do hope you can continue to share any irregularities you encounter as you browse through the blog. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks, bro. As stated, each car has its strength and for a full hybrid, the Prius C is certainly the way to go.

I mentioned about the RPM not so much of racing but more to do with reducing engine whine if the RPM gets too high. I attribute this to my lack of familiarity with the car and I believe it's just a matter of getting used to.

fair enough but once you are familiar with the car and know when you would/would not be able to overtake this wont be an issue esp for automatic car.

0-100KM/h in 10.7sec is only achievable by turning off air-cond, econ and with enough battery charge, for normal driving, it is around 12 seconds, some Taiwan's website have tested it.

some buyers need to feel sporty regardless of what they drive. honda, so happens, caters to such a market.
