    Congrats to all the new owners of the c. It's quite exciting to follow your exchanges here from Europe.

    In a press release about the Prius c's european techno twin, the Yaris Hybrid

    Toyota Yaris Hybrid (2013)

    I read

    Such an excessive increase on any Prius model has often been criticized in the past.

    Please tell us how you judge this aspect of driving the Prius c, now that you test drove or possess a brand new one.

    I'm sure many here would like to know.

    Interesting. If you floor it, it'll probably behave the same.

    Yes, there are already some reports confirming that, but how about more normal acceleration or hill climbing?

    Please let us know!
