    I bought a Prius C on New Years Day, and have already logged 1500+ miles [my commute to work is 70 miles each way...hence, I bought a Prius].

    Its not bad at all on the highway. Not hard to control nor wobbly; you're not going to get blown around the highway by big rigs. Depending on how you're accustomed to driving the interstates, you'll need to strategize a little more when it comes to passing at speed, especially on an upward incline [avoid doing it if there's a chance that an even faster pick-up truck or muscle car wants around both of you].

    Thanks for answering my question! Your answer Helps a lot. Which c do you have and how much are you paying for it each month?

    Why does his monthly payment matter? It will vary depending on the interest rate, length of loan and amount financed.

    You should never buy a car based on monthly payments. At least read Confessions of a Car Salesman to understand why.

    Scottie, do you mean my car payment to the lien holder [which would be impractical to compare, anyway], or just my cost of ownership expenses from month-to-month?
