If you compare the base prices of the Yaris and the Prius C they are both about the same except with the C you get the Hybrid battery worth $2500-4000 depending on the price tag by Toyota. The Prius C is a great bargain. If I didn't want the Pip more, I would buy one.
Just a question. Has anyone ever seen a Prius c 1? Anyone Buy one? Toyota says Prius c starts at $18,950 but it seems those entry level models are pretty rare. I would just be curious if anyone has been able to purchase one. I've never read a post from a Prius c 1 owner yet.
My dealer offered me a Summer Rain C 1 a couple weeks ago - I turned it down and am still waiting for my SR C II - reserved 02/17. I also saw another C 1 at the dealer in white - the non-split rear seat is a deal breaker for me. Seems like Hawaii got a mix of Cs.
Do you need child seats? If you need 3 seats I'd suggest almost certainly not. 3 in a Prius liftback requires 2 narrow child seats and the c is narrower. Otherwise it would depend on the size of you and your children. And for comfort, the frequency of traveling fully loaded. Find a dealer with one and take the family. Tell them not to say anything while you're on the lot because salesmen will try to up-sell to a larger vehicle, using everything they can, including whining children. PS I was a child in a family of 5 (dad 5' 11", mum 5' 4", 3 children grew up to 6' 3", 6' and 5' 11") and rode mostly in the back of subcompacts and compacts and I don't hold any resentment towards my parents for the squeeze. (I don't know how my brothers feel, though. ) Just stop with reasonable frequency to let them stretch their legs.
Yeah I'd say it's a bad idea. Not just because of passenger volume, but because the trunk is so tiny you'll be unable to go anywhere farther than the nearest shopping mall as a family…and even then you'd have nowhere to put your purchases EletricMe — there's a separate thread about whether a One is worth it, plenty of owners on there with Ones. I test drove a One myself about 3 weeks ago.

Could anyone advise me how much to discount for 3300 mile on Prius C off the MSRP? Dealer called on my new Prius C Trim 2 inquiry and offered one that came back from a month++ sales
I just registered to post. I drove home today a new Prius C Package 4 Super White came with 15" Wheels w/Sunroof Sunshade, Carpet Floor Mats/Trunk Mat, Rear Bumper Protector and Cargo Net for $24, 042.24: is it a good deal or I got ripped off? I've seen somewhere people posted they can get over 100 M/gl: how's that possible?
I have been driving one for many months and with a very slow light foot the best I get is 75' which is no complaint my motorcycle gets about 50
In January 2013 I bought a prius C type 2 for 19,650, out the door. This price includes everything but sales tax and registration. I have 3000+ miles and I like the car. The car was purchased in northern NJ.
