Amazing car but tiny trunk.
Has been a great car. I haven't had any mechanical issues and I bought it in 2017 with 15 miles on it. The main reason I got it is because of the s great gas mileage. I do wish the trunk was a bit bigger because it is seriously the world's smallest trunk and that's my only issue.

I love the size. The gas mileage is great. It is easy to drive and has a sunroof.
It is perfect for me.it is easy to park and small enough to parallel park in places that suvs cannot.

Toyota Prius c white non-gas guzzler.
My Toyota Prius c is incredible. The most important feature for me is the environmental impact. Because I cannot afford a tesla yet I went with a Prius c. The features on it that tell you the percentages of what is being used by the electric motor versus gas is great. It is the perfect size for me. Not too huge like a massive SUV but not super tiny like a smart car. It is easily maneuverable and has a smooth drive. It was odd to first turn it on and hear nothing but I got used to it. Now I think of it as an extra benefit to not using as much gas.

Fantastic Prius c. Too bad they are not making them anymore.
Great gas mileage, surprisingly quite a bit of room for the size. Easy to drive. Good resale value. Easy to find parking places where other cars do not fit. Seats fold down for easy caryll. Easy to fill up the gas tank. Never over $20 to fill it up.

The Prius C is the best value car you can buy
You don't have enough space for me to write all that I think about my car. I LOVE my Prius. It's worry free, extremely affordable to maintain and so easy to handle. What's not to love? I get over 50 mpg and fill up about every 3 weeks. And I've been shocked at how much we can actually put in the car... It's like the Tardis... You never seem to run out of room. All the amenities I need- nothing "too" fancy or extra complicated in terms of features or add ons. What can I say? I love my car.

Fuel efficient and good for the environment
It's cute and comfortable and very fuel efficient. It's a smooth drive with a comfortable interior. It's low maintenance and easy to park.

It's cost effective and a eco friendly. It uses fuel effectively and the music sounds are amazing
My car is very simple but comfortable I don't like the touch screen of the radio section it looks too fake and above all I love the smooth ride

It's bigger inside than it looks :)
I love the size, how it drives and the gas mileage. The basics (cup holder placement, steering wheel positioning, dashboard, etc.) are great as well. If I were to change something, I'd make the gas tank a bit larger to make the infrequent stops even less frequent.

The car gets great gas mileage but has a stiff ride.
S and cons. Capable of 50-plus miles per gallon. Interior is surprisingly roomy, given its small dimensions. It is nimble and easy to park in tight spaces. Offers a complete package of high-tech safety equipment. Rides stiffly and uncomfortably over rough roads. Interior materials look and feel a bit cheap. Wind and road noise is noticeable at highway speeds. Acceleration is slow, even for a hybrid.

All around a wonderful gas saving, spacious car!
My car is wonderful! It is very spacious and very quiet. When opening the driver and front passenger doors there is a light coming from the bottom of the inside floor to help you see a little better. When I say this car is quiet believe me it is so quiet. Sometimes I will forget I turned it on or if I am at a light I sometimes make sure the car didn't die or something. Haha. Not that has ever happened. This car is very reliable. Super easy to get the car under maintenance. Whenever fluids are low or a tire is low. The car will indicate such needs to maintain the car in great condition. Has a backup camera which is great! All around a great car.

Interior is awesome! It is the main reason I bought the car.
No problems. Drive is great. Saves on fuel. Drive on highway is great. Not too fuel efficient on road trips. Has enough speed to get going. Handles weather great. Not the most spacious trunk, but it is a small car. Would highly recommend for those that love in cities.
