2012 Toyota Prius c - 2012 Prius C is an excellent vehicle.
The Prius C has been an excellent car. The excellent mileage is a major bonus that we appreciate, as my husband and I do a lot of driving, and therefore we save money on gas. The car drives smoothly and is comfortable to drive, with good visibility in all directions. I appreciate driving a small car, especially because we live in a city so it is easy to navigate and easy to park in small spaces. Bluetooth is a wonderful feature, as it makes it possible for us to listen to music or podcasts on the road. We also like that the back seats fold back. Again, this car is fairly small, but we are able to gain a lot of space when moving large objects by folding down the back seats. The interior is simple but stylish, and we haven't had problems with stains or other issues with the interior. The... (more)

The interior is simple but stylish, and we haven't had problems with stains or other issues with the interior. The best thing about the Prius by far is that it is a Toyota. My family has always owned Toyotas, and my parents had two of the early Prius models when I was a teenager. I then bought my own used 2003 Prius and was so happy with it that when my husband and I needed a new car, we bought the 2012 Prius C. We knew that this car would be reliable and would last for many years, which was especially important to us. There is no doubt in my mind that I would buy this car again, and I expect that the next time that we need to purchase a car, we will look for whatever is the new model of Prius at the time we are shopping.
I once tried to get into another person's car because they had a car that was the same color as my Prius C and also had Ohio license plates.

The fuel economy is one of the most important benefits of the Prius C. We get excellent mileage per gallon in this car, far better than we could possible expect from a non-hybrid car. This results in huge savings on gas, which is very valuable. Additionally, the Bluetooth connectivity, stereo system, in-car GPS system, and overall electronic system all function exceptionally well and are very user-friendly. The car is compact, which is very convenient, but the back seats also fold down in order to create space for moving large objects. This is very convenient and is a major bonus of the ha... (more)

The car is compact, which is very convenient, but the back seats also fold down in order to create space for moving large objects. This is very convenient and is a major bonus of the hatchback design. The car is also very easily drivable, with a small turning radius and sensitivity to steering in a way that makes it comfortable to drive. The biggest benefit is the reliability of the car. In the several years that we have owned this car, we have not had any significant issues with any of the mechanical, electronic, or other features of the car. This saves us money in the long-term and also creates peace-of-mind and a sense of stability. I feel comfortable trusting Toyota because I have seen their vehicles perform well for a long time, and I have found the Prius C to be very reliable and comfortable.
The Prius C is fairly small. I find this to be a good benefit, because I appreciate driving a small car. However, I expect that some people might feel that the small size of this car is a negative, because they prefer large cars. The small size of the car affects a few things. First, it is not very comfortable for multiple people. We once drove with three adults in the backseat, and they were fairly uncomfortable for the four-hour drive. Additionally, the small size means that, even when folding down the back seats to use the space in the hatchback, there is only so much space for transpor... (more)

Additionally, the small size means that, even when folding down the back seats to use the space in the hatchback, there is only so much space for transporting things. I have not found this to be an issue as I rarely have to move large things, but people who do that regularly might be dissatisfied with this car. With nothing to transport, or only small children in the backseat, this is unlikely to be an issue for someone. I can't think of any additional negative aspects about this car.
2012 Toyota Prius c - Affordable, functional, and comfortable
I love the fact that the Prius C is able to hold five people total in the car and still have room in the trunk to carry items. It's a functional car that is able to carry people, cargo, and get great gas mileage. It's a comfortable car with its synthetic leather, well-designed suspensions, and low maintenance, which is only oil changes and tires. The quality of the ride is superb, but the power lacked. Maintaining the car is super easy because it's only every 10,000 miles for an oil change and 5,000 for rotating the tires. My only gripe about that car is I wish it had a bit more power, but otherwise, it's a fantastic car for the price. This car will get passed by just about any car on the road if the driver wants to pass the Prius C, but with normal drivers, the car pulls just fine and... (more)

This car will get passed by just about any car on the road if the driver wants to pass the Prius C, but with normal drivers, the car pulls just fine and has enough torque to get around town.
A fun memory for me is when I achieved 88.8 MPG with my Prius C, which I was completely going down hill or crawling in electric mode for about 5-6 miles because traffic was so awful. To this date, that is my record for best gas mileage, and I find it fun every time to drive to see the best gas mileage I can achieve for the driving environment I am in.

Top things about the car is the ability to get great gas mileage with being able to carry four passengers and carry luggage in the trunk. The size of the car is perfect for the city and still functional to carry any item needed unless its furniture or large items meant for trucks to carry. The gas mileage varies between 40-50 mpg for myself. I see that other drivers can get above 50 mpg on a normal day, but I have a bit of a heavy foot. It still gets better gas mileage even at 40 than my previous cars that I've driven in the past.

The only negative to the car is the horsepower and torque. It has 99 horsepower, so it struggles a lot getting past other cars with higher horsepower, but it's an economical car meant to get high gas mileage so it's expected. Do not try to speed in this car because it does not have the horsepower to do so. It can keep up with traffic, but it cannot pass a sports car if that driver is attempting to pass you. The brakes are normally the problem for hybrid vehicles due to the regenerative brakes that are on the car to help recharge the battery. The top portion when you press down on the brake... (more)

The brakes are normally the problem for hybrid vehicles due to the regenerative brakes that are on the car to help recharge the battery. The top portion when you press down on the brakes feel light, like there is nothing there, but when you press down past the 50% mark, it feels like a normal brake pedal on a standard car without regenerative brakes.
