    I just got my Prius this last weekend. I wasn't expecting to, honestly. But here's how I came to it:

    I needed a new(er) car. So I nailed down some requirements. It needed to...
    • Be roomy enough. I'm 6'4", so legroom and headroom is a must
    • Make sense economically - either from gas savings or low payments
    • Have a warranty (I'm super tired of fixing cars lately)
    • Optional: Not be boring, like a sedan
    So I made this Excel sheet to compare a TON of cars. I limited my search to new or certified used cars, and plugged them into my spreadsheet to compare legroom, estimated gas & payments, etc. And in the end? I was surprised to find a Prius C the winner in all the categories.

    So, here I am!

    Nice. I know the feeling, I'm 6'5 and 260 lbs and was surprised when we test drove our 2012 c that I fit quite nicely. We recently bought a 2015 Prius 2 just because we have our second child on the way and needed more back seat room for carseats. The C was a nice surprise when we got it though. Congratulations on the purchase.
