Thinking to trade in my 3 years old Vios for pc.. My vios only able to reach max 460km++ for 38 liter ron95 in kl city+highway drive.

The best offer I get for prius c 2012 was 8k discount. Feel very confusing right now should I change it.. Need some advice from you guys.. @.@

I travel about 10k for 4 months.. 

walao...should i changed other model instead of pc?? it's seems like alot issue...

Complain from an owner in Tribe forum. Is it anyone from here?
really a big disappointment, the prius cabin isn't that "silent" as i expect it to be.. the car looks pretty solid but in fact NOT! my 3 months old prius dashboard start making noise and some in the luggage area.. when i first got my car, i find that it is very bumpy and there are already some noise too.. my first thought was it might be the tyre pressure too high..so i head towards a petrol station to check and find out that the tyre pressure was 300kpaso i reduced it to 220kpa as recommended.. after that it is not so bumpy anymore.. but the riding comfort and sound proof still no way to compare to my previous ride camry..ok i know camry is totally different category with prius so just can't compare with it.. but i just don't expect a 97k toyota car cabin to have the plastic rattling squeaky noise like our old proton car! even my friend's pesona cabin is more quieter and feel more solid than me ..what a shame!! not to mention that we have a very high tech hybrid engine in our car but we don't have and can't have a simple auto door lock security feature which the entry level vios already have it!!! and i've done some research on the internet and find that rattling is a common issue for the gen 3 prius.. another common issue is the smelly air-cond when you first switch it on.. some folks sold their prius just because they can't stand the "salted fish" smell..and it will get worse and worse later on.. this car is totally CBU from JAPAN itself and yet to have such a low quality built! wondering what is happening to the toyota nowadays.. btw i am going to the service center and complain and have them get the job done..wondering anyone here have the same issue with me? if so please share your experience here, tq

i have a 100% same case with you, that's is just a minor issue where i can accepted, the rating sound is actually come from the "hanger/joiner" among your door and the car body (same to the back sit). drive to the ts and apply their grease will do. my car did not have salted fish smell but the smell more like ketiak smell. put some fragrance into the car can solve the problem. More thing u have to suffer when u start facing toyota SC
others.

i found this "fuel suction plate sub-assembly" = RM298 in our 4th service, any one know what is that?

Rattling (front) and squeaking (back) sounds, yes. Sent for repair in July and posted in this forum.
Smell, yes, mine is a kind of sour smell, like those silicone glues. Forgot to complain. Normally I wind down the window and turn on the fan before using the air cond.
Currently, I still have some noise, seems to be from the glove box. When I open the glove box, the. noise disappears but the vibration noise of the glove box latch appears

walao...should i changed other model instead of pc?? it's seems like alot issue...

Wah, those problems sound bad. You guys got those problems since day 1 of having the car or later? So far mine has no such issues yet, hopefully never! Could those be batch-related?

at the price of 150k and below, which car doesnt make any 'plastic' sound at all? sumore Asian cars, not euro/german

U guys should strip down Prius C n Prius interior first . Both car got minimum sound proofing to cut cost and weight . Prius more noise due to no bonnet cover at rear . All this can be improve just go to any accessories shop to do the sound proofing want good quality go o autofoam k.l full packages around 2-3k only but cannot do it 1 shot need to go step by step

hi bro, mind to share where u got 8k discount? i got offer in KL area

Alots of issues?? huh...oh...you meant those rattling, squeaking sounds (recycle plastic rubbing against each other) and silicon smell from aircon (smell of glue which trying very hard to keep those recycle plastic together).

Well, if those are the minor issues which you're referring to or talking about. Yes, you better use another models instead of Toyota hybrid car. If not, it will make your life miserable everyday when you heard those sound and aroma smelling of glue, recycle plastic with paper and rubber. Those painful feeling which I know you will be very hard to bear with.

I vote "Yes" to you to change a different car Don't want you to suffer, bro 
If you think on the bright side. All those money you save on the fuel every month can ease your pain on those issues than consider PC. If not, forget it. That's my 2 cent.    brother.......

I totally agree with you, bro. 

I was facing those unbearable sound from my exora since last week when I start to clean up all my stuffs in there. Those loss plastic gaps generate alots of crazy sound. it will drive you 

But I saw one Australia forum about those sound in their PC and this guy got it fixed by himself. Putting gasket in between those plastic gap and tighten up all those bolt & nuts at the dashboard. Amazing huh... Best part is everyone over there in the forum asking his advice and got their fix as well. Cool huh?? There is no problems unfixable, only thing is do you know how to fix it. 

Alots of issues?? huh...oh...you meant those rattling, squeaking sounds (recycle plastic rubbing against each other) and silicon smell from aircon (smell of glue which trying very hard to keep those recycle plastic together).

I do encounter rattling noise from the passenger side when driving at certain rough road surface, it is not always show up, but quite annoying, I think the assembly quality of this car is not so good

Hi wankf, could you provide a link to this site? I'm very interested in reading how he fixed these issues.

Bro can pm me their address.....
Later(updated).....
OK bro, I found their website http://autofoam.net/autofoam/autofoam-benefits/

Total cost around RM 2230 (as you mention) and add weight of 13.5kg to the car after add in those soundproof stuff. Cool.....add in to my PC install list 

Can use all those discount money from UMW to addin those stuffs....

Wxx 6193 your PC, bro?? Fixing AutoFOAM n SP works there.....
Saw it on their facebook page.....

Mine WWY orange going for autofoam next month . Currently my wife drive it try to settle it in 3-4 years and get another facelifted PC for my wife and I drive this first edition model . Usually Toyota will launch new facelifted model in 4 years .

the problem not as bad as u all think actually, the rating sound can be hear because our PC consider no engine sound. most of the asean made car have much more problem such as gap of the assembly part. PC so far i only have 2 place got rating sound, is it consider bad? the ketiak smell not 100% sure is sillicon smell or not, but it's look like the smell like recycle material. if you always switch on the aircon while driving, u shouldn't smell it.

different people got different needs on the car, if you look for a very good fc and with those trouble free. LEXUS CT200 ?

my PC sometime ago can achieve 930km for full tank, that compensate me for everything unhappy already.

about the Sound Deadening.. i will not consider it, Sound Deadening = air deadening. if you fart in the car, the smell will forever there.. kidding... some sound is important while you driving, eg if car too close on you or people hon you.
