Prius C / Yaris / Honda Jazz

The Fit and Prius C are good the Yaris not so much because of driving while selecting stations etc. Owned all three tho I can't fault reliability of all of them. The Prius C is best on mpg.
However, a better alternative may be the Nissan Leaf SL all electric car which I also own for Mon to Friday gofer duty. Outstanding, roomy, drives well but fidgeting not great either. The ability to drive into garage plug in and go about house duties is superb. And electricity costs a lot less than even $3 gas; reliability is also outstanding. And a lease is cheap. If you drive less than 65 miles per day, can't beat it.
Better, no maintenance needed other than checking tire pressures but a 240v charging station is almost required but there are designated providers for the Bosch one.
My Prissy has been relegated to weekend duty - and that is great. Lot less miles.

The Prius C is most econical but having all 3 here I think she needs to try them for entrance and exit. I can't tell the difference.
However, I do offer another choice: Nissan Leaf SL. all electric so no maintenance and driving into the garage and plugging in and go about house dutuies. If she drives lrss than 65 miles per day or away from home can't be beat, even if the gas is less than $3 a gallon. Plud its roomier and a little higher off the groundso enter and exit is better for me and Im 77.

Mahout... STAHP!

 

And the Leaf is a lot more roomy and as its a little higher off the ground, its easier for me to enter and exit - and I'm 77 too.

 

so is the Leaf

 

I owned a 2007 Yaris (loved that car!) and now have the Prius c. While the dimensions aren't supposed to be that different, both myself and my mobility-limited 80 year old mom found the Yaris easier to get in and out of. The c seems to sit lower and even though I'm only 5'4", I seem to always be tapping my head when I get in. My sister-in-law has a 2008 Yaris, and when the Yaris and c are side by side, the Yaris is definitely taller. The new Yarises (Yarii?!) may be different.

 

Does your C have a sunroof? The sunroof's drop the ceiling height.

 

The comparison is between different generations
