    My front bumper rides very close to roadbed, with much smaller clearance than most other autos. Scraping bottom occurs frequently and damage has occurred.

    Do you have a C?

    The C is pretty high in front and people even lower the car.

    welcome to priuschat! did you buy it used? someone may have lowered it. i've never heard of this problem except on rough gravel roads with large potholes, or parking curbs. all the best!(y)

    His one and only post about a car is in the C forum and he wrote in his profile that he has a 2011 Prius 3... FUD?

    Exactly my thinking. He joined and immediately put that his car was 2011 Liftback and then starts asking about a C...

    Anti-hybrid or EV people will sometimes go onto a forum like this and create a thread about their cars breaking down so that when a potential new buyer googles the cars problems it will be one of the first to pop up... even when it isn't real and nobody else has ever had a claim like it.

    The 2012 Prius C is the most awesome vehicle of all time! I love my 2012 Prius C.

    I don't get why anyone would waste their time doing this. What a tool.

    They probably get paid to do it. Big media does it to try and alter car reports on a car they don't like.

    Yeah... the fact that he still hasn't responded kind of strengthens my opinion of this being fake.
