    The up side is that you got a Prius. At least your operating costs haven't increased.

    Aside from his conclusion ["other than that im sure it is a great car"], the OP could get a job doing reviews for Consumer Reports...

    We've been a bit unkind to the OP, but I'd actually be interested to hear from him again now he's (presumably) had the C for a few days.

    No relation. I would think F8L is fatal, but ftl is faster than light!

    Whatch it! F8L is short for Fatal Foo. Someday I may tell the story but in short I earned it after kicking a guy who was trying to swing at me from outside my car door while I was still seated in the driver's seat. Try and wrap your mind around that one. LOL

    We may never hear back from tevogel because he is still trying to finish a multipoint turn. Hear those c's have a terrible turning radius. :p

    Really? You would think they would have better than the hatchback. Or is it a joke? :/

    i had the prius c for 5 days.it is uncomfortable and not much room compared the normal one.it would be fine for someone younger who doesnt haul much in it.i would never own one for myself though.

    Thanks for the update!

    By contrast, I rented a liftback for a week last year and found it to be bigger than I like, a bit detached from the road, and with poor rear visibility. Good thing Toyota makes several different models now :)
