QUOTE(mkhor7 @ May 4 2012, 07:52 PM) 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. 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.

QUOTE(vey99 @ May 4 2012, 08:18 PM) 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. 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.
