Service Adviser advised me first 10k used only mineral. After 10k you can whatever type you prefer..

Oh really? But what did you guys go for? It seems like the car doesn't use the engine as much as typical car, so does it worth it to use fully-synthetic after 10k? What do you guys think?

Hmm, did any of you guys ever receive an sms from UMW Toyota that says something like, "Greetings from UMW Toyota: Thank you for placing your order for Prius C. We appreciate & value your support in choosing Toyota as your preferred brand.". Just received the sms yesterday (and no I still haven't got the car yet *sadface*). Also this hot weather lately is driving me insane - but it finally rained lots last night.
*
Me too, i received the sms yesterday. When did you book your car? Mine was in the middle of march, and after receiving the sms, I'm worried if the booking has just been made recently and not back in march. Queue was cut perhaps? cry.gif

Saw my SA today, he showed me the list of cars arriving this month for their branch...mine's not included cry.gif cry.gif so sad!!!

By the way, he told me the TRD body kit is already available...gonna tempah and get it installed as soon as my car arrive (when ever that is). Its gonna make the car heavier right? Wonder if it will mess up the FC at all? Any thots?

How much cost for the TRD bodykit for prius C? I'm still waiting until end of the year. If the trd kit available, can i switch ? or the bodykit counted as additional accessories?
*
he said its about RM1800....don't know the exact price. Its an additional kit...so maybe u can ask your SA to get it installed once your car arrive, b4 u collect it.

Congrats to all who just received their PC...so jeles laaa....

For me, cry.gif huwaaa.....loan approve so long already, plate number succesful already....but car delivery...none existance...stress!!

Anyway, for those who have been using PC for quite sometimes, have u guys ever have to park under the sun? Do you think the car takes a long time to get cool in the cabin? I always have to pasang aircond almost to full blast a few minutes after parking under the sun for my vios..wonder if PC is easier to cool down.

Get a good tinted, sure it will help & PC have a good air-con system, so didn't really feel entering to an oven. Probably you should get a white or silver PC which good in reflect heat.

Since you got the car plate, what is the outcome if your PC didn't get it within 30 days? You really trying your luck.
*
Yup, I will be getting a tinted and most probably RayTech since my SA will give a voucher just like my vios previously.

As for the plate, yup i'm trying my luck hehe, coz I've been pushing my SA to do wutever he can to get me my PC in July.

My Prius C can cool down in one minute when parking direct under the hot sun, of course I have my wind screen and windows tinted with 3M, when the car start, the auto aircond will full blow for a minute, then temperature drop and lower the blower speed to middle speed.
*
Thank for the tip. Hopefully RayTech tint can do a good job too since I should be getting (and will insist) a voucher from my SA like my vios previously.

Kinda cool idea...should make that into a bumper sticker or the yellow thingy people always stuck at their car's cermin belakang. But then again...its kind of an internal jokes for us no? people might not get it. hehe.

I was a bit sad yesterday as I let go of my first car...but i was rejoiced to finally (after dreadfully waiting for 5 months) get my Citrus Orange Prius C rclxm9.gif . At first I was a bit worry with the orange color, but when I get mine, I am glad that I chose this unique, can-spot-from-the-moon-also color cool2.gif .

My first ever trip was so bad tho hehe blush.gif from the dealer, back home.

My 1st impression: WOW! drool.gif
However it was a bit tiring driving the PC for the first time. Maybe because I'm such a noob that I was thinking too much of the ECO Score and FC. I was trying too hard with the cruising and stopping score while also avoiding the 'power' region. But i always get full for starting even tho I just tekan as long as in the 'ECO' region.

Anyway for those who r still waiting for their PC, I reckon keep on waiting, for me it was worth the wait rclxms.gif

12.4 seems alittle low when your battery level is so high, alot of hill climbs?
*
Well there was 2 hills, but I'm not worry coz its a few KM drive and it was my first time. Today when i go to work, around 30km drive with jams here and there, I got 23.7 km/l. Maybe it'll improve further as i go along...

Sorry for talking out of topic but this is so cool, Prius +...if only our Prius C has the pre collision (5:23) and dynamic radar cruise control (6:40) features...

I prefer Prius V, 7-seater which is good for family and FC as well

I think Prius V is Prius Plus, only with a different name depending on the region in the world. Anyway, somebody asked about how the back skirting of my PC looks like, here it is:

Added on August 7, 2012, 8:18 pm

No man, tis orange not the 1st one with skirts...2 months ago i ady seen one with TRD kits in Kajang..white PC..but not in this forum n tribetoyota..wonder who is tat..
*
Yeah muffler would make it more sporty, but nah, i kinda like it clean like that whistling.gif

Actually I'm the third one to install the kit in my area, and the second orange one. The first two were the people working at the dealer, white and orange.

QUOTE(RegistraCHAN @ Aug 7 2012, 08:23 PM)
the first one to reveal here and got a few detial that can be discuss here...

P/s bro, i tot those spoiler r original.... Izzit
*
Nope, the spoiler came with the kit. The original one is nicely wrapped and stored in my store at home now hehe...but I have to wrap it myself tho icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(PriusC-i @ Aug 7 2012, 08:41 PM)
this spoiler does not seem in the package as ori TRD one..but i prefer tis..tat means the 3rd brake lamp has been replaced together with the spoiler?really dun understand y til now stil no aftermarket kits for PC...
*
I'm not sure if the TRD ori kit come with a spoiler like mine, but mine are based on the TRD (tho when I look in details, not exactly like TRD one). There are even TRD tag on the front and back skirting just like the ori one brows.gif
But yeah, the 3rd brake lamp came together with the spoiler, replaced.

QUOTE(lemonguy79 @ Aug 7 2012, 10:12 PM)
TRD? How much?

Includes front, side, back skirting and spoiler, RM1800.
