The most impressive characteristic about the Prius C is its gas mileage. In freeway driving, 40-55 mpg is about my average. However, due to its small engine, performance is sluggish. The car is very maneuverable in tight spots and great for city driving. Wind and road noises are loud at high speeds but not too unbearable. Cargo space is good for a subcompact. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats can accommodate bulky and long items. I had used this car for house moving twice, and it worked out very well. My car comes well equipped with the latest technologies at the time, such as USB outlets, Bluetooth, and built-in GPS. Interior trims are nothing fancy with the feel of cheap looking plastics. Head room is good, even for tall drivers. However, front visibility is hampered by a thick pillar looking left. The rear window wiper covers very small area, so it is almost useless during heavy rain. Headlights are very dim even with high-beam during night driving. I would recommend halogen lights upgrade, if available. Overall, a good car to run errands around town or when you are stuck in traffic due to its hybrid capability.

My vehicle is a Black Prius C with light grey interior, and I am very happy with it. The biggest draw to it was obviously the gas mileage, but that's definitely not the only feature I like. Although the car is compact, it still feels very spacious, and the interior is remarkably comfortable. In fact, I routinely go for long drives and never have any issues with comfort after hours of driving. One thing that always amazes me is how quiet this car is. So quiet that occasionally I forget the engine is running. Even at highway speeds, without the air conditioning on, its very quiet. This is probably due to the build quality, which I believe to be exceptional. After 10 year of use, everything is still in perfect working condition, which says a fair amount, considering this car has spent a large amount of time on rough mountain roads.
