Good review of the Prius c by a self-confessed muscle car owner

great read, thanks!

 

Took a test drive in a prius c w 4 people! It was Soo slow! took over 20+ seconds to reach 60 mph on a uphill on ramp! After 70 mph forget about trying to pass ! Its a death trap on the freeway! OK for city !

 

The C is not everyone's cup of tea, but I stepped down from a liftback to a C with no regrets. It has been fun to drive and has suprised me how well it does on the highway as well. Nice write up.

 

I enjoy the C, it fits my lifestyle and design style.

 

It's good for what it is...a commuter car.

I have a Z28 w/350 hp and a 300hp F250SuperDuty 4wd V10. I go fast in the Camaro and haul things in the truck. The C is my daily driver and I've got over 31k miles on it.

I get about 20mpg in the Camaro and 11mpg in the truck. I'm halfway through my current tank on the C and am averaging 52mpg on it. My best tank was 61mpg. I've taken 8hr day trips in the C with no ill effects. It's a good car. The problem is that people have unrealistic expectations for it.

 

I have taken my c on the highway and have never had a problem. This is a great little car and I feel it does well on highway or in city. My daily 22 mile commute includes highway and city and it does great.

 

I love my C but on the higher speed highways and quick on ramps, its a bit slow, even with 2 people. The city driving is great and I love it for that.
