I don't need a car that big anymore
Plus at the very least I could give the car to my little sister once my income allows it

Then yes, Prius C is suitable for you. You can also try looking for used Jazz Hybrid. However, I know nothing about Honda hybrid series but in comparison with Prius, it's totally different tech. Parallel Hybrid vs Series Hybrid.

Most are SC related issues and there's other places to replace the cells for the batteries.

Other than that I don't see other issues regarding that

What made you decide to buy the gen 2 instead?

Didn't buy,
sis bought a new car since mum's car (Gen2) died 2x in highway

Repaired it - wiring/fuel pump/coil

so essentially get a well maintained car for 1.5k
Mileage is only 70k km


Money is tight nowadays. Not to mention only drive ~1/2 a week

Ok, understood. So you never decided NOT to buy the prius, you just got a better value deal instead. Ok, thanks, bro.

Yeah, better deal.
If didn't have it, was torn between it and S50
which was a letdown when they released it as S70
