1 month report comparing my "old c" with my new liftback Two

well, about a month ago i turned in my black c 3 for a black liftback Two.why in the world would i do that. the c is still very cool. its a great size, handles well and gets great city miles. but....... it is rough riding. will knock your false teeth out over pot holes. is (comparatively) very loud inside. has (just a little) wind noise the faster you go. the seats are thinner, but after breakin do give good support. the engine whines even more than the regular prius.so...(only in my opinion) it was not ready for prime time. i do expect that the complaints ive had will be addressed through the years. i have to remember,too that the chassis is a modified yaris, so its quite short. i was able to keep my bike in it with the front tire removed.
now, on to the phantom (my new Two). first, i named it the phantom because, compared to the c, it is ghostly quiet. the ride is extremely smooth and quiet. at higher speeds no wind noise. the engine is not straining most of the time and the sound is much more subdued. it is much more comfy for me.another subtle difference appears to be how long i can go either in ev or before the ic kicks in. for lunch i can sit in the bigger prius without the engine kicking in for almost all my lunch time, compared to s shorter time in the c.
is there anything i miss from my c. yes, it had the nav system and cornered well. like ive indicated, in the future this will be a great little car, but for me, for now, im loving the phantome. any questions please feel free to ask
ps i forgot to add the most controversial. in my opinion the c is underpowered. i know im being very controversial, but it is my feeling especially over about 30 mph or so.

thanks mark. believe it or noti always get confused on that . thanks

 

thanks chunker. whenever that was brought up in the c forum, the response was like well, the car is not for you or it is not a sportscar. whatever. when i took my big trip to daytona from nashville, i REALLY noticed it. the two on the other hand although not a quick mover, will get out of its own way and does not feel like it is at the edge of power alll the time.

 

thank you 2nd passed. i do want to add that c forum is full of very nice folks who always treated me good. you are also right in that many folks in that forum are quite content with the acceleration limits

 

thanx for your reply az. the thing i noticed immediately is the difference in smoothness and quietness.

 

i have to agree prox.i found that on the highway the c did not do as great. around town i dont really notice a difference. of course the c is no slouch but like a say its always on the edge
