I tried lots of cars in the class/price range. Prius C felt right. Here's my thinking:

Ford Fiesta - nice exterior look, nice comfy seats. Good size engine and a good ride. Inside boring/nothing special.

Kia Forte - packed with gadgets. Liked the big 2.0 engine but maybe too powerful for city driving (for me). Thought things not so well designed/put together. Design looked nice a couple of years ago-not so sure now. Worried big time about poor resale value.

Honda Jazz - Liked it a lot. But masses of space and huge windows - pro's and con's! Inside nice but dash nothing special and no GPS module available. Engine 1.3 was not huge. Did not feel great when test drove around bends in road. Over time felt my thought change- was too plain, not enough gadgets -but does have good safety features. its the best selling car for pensioners in parts of Europe - a big put off!

Honda Insight - hated it first time. Sales person also tried to put me off and go for Jazz Hybrid. Second time trying it i liked it. Nice drive. liked the boot size, small. Bit big and clumsy and lacking special features and gadgets. Only 2 air bags! Seen them around lots and nothing special.

Suzuki swift. Love the outside. Inside terrible. Small boot and cramped with very plain interior. Nice size engine and ok ride. Looks better than it drives though.

Then tried Prius C. Was put off by 4-5 month waiting time. Took another look and was offered one in a months time so grabbed it. Love the simple design inside -plasticky -Yes but simple and modern. Have the built in GPS unit which i like is sunken to avoid too much sunlight. Like the safety features. Like the controls on the wheel and most of all i like the simple display- very effective. Boot size is just right. Feels quick on the road (city driving). Did not buy it for fuel consumption but will welcome a reduction in costs.

For me it was the best package for the price. Good value, good resale value.

Things not so keen on (1st week). Window wiper at back very small. Front one is great but in heavy rain yesterday could hardly see out of the back.

Hmmm, it seems not much response to this TT session. So I've change the venue and time. Cheers

Time is 10.15pm and still no response. So i adjourned this TT session to another date. But if anybody happen to be in the neighbourhood, just drop me a message ya. Have a great weekend everyone and go green

Was driving through Bangsar in my white PC behind a young guy in his black PC the other day. Was pretty annoying- he was obviously trying not to go above 50km/hr....hogging the middle lane..going SLOWWWWW. Not sure what he is trying to save!

Maybe a lot of ant in the road ?? no matter how u drive still save fuel on PC . City drive should be 4-5liter per100km highway is 3-4 liter per100km

Some people just try to create their record, the best I saw was over 30km/l... Damn...

Is the Prius C service every 10k after 60km?

already arrive KL from kota tinggi johor take my Prius C hitam lagi menawan, criuse speed 110-120kmj, twice breakin 140kmj...hehe...so far, so good, full tank rm60, now have 3 more bar my fuel....xingat brp FC td...tapi dlm 20km/l kot...will upload pic later....

So full tank about RM60...you refill when how many bars? Don't want to get RM60 and get the clunk clunk at the petrol pump.

Hi. Sorry bro. As was away during the weekend and didnt check in the lyn thread.

THanks for organizing bro. Ok. Lets set one month in advance. Will it be better this way ?

almost kosong , blink2 indictr start appear at the last bar, so i just to-pup rm 60 only,,,no clunk2...
36liter x 1.9rm = rm68.40...means that not full tank yet...

Today, I tested my car with speed 150km/h, still steady.. woooow~!

10k service after 3rd service which is after 10k on odometer .. at least have to use semi syn as what told by SC on my 2nc service ..

Some people just dont get it, drive as per normal car. Dont hog the road. Wanna drive slow, ride a bicycle.
