Oh thankyou for giving me the opportunity to answer my favorite question!

Which I have done time and again as many people here will remember!

Buying a Prius C is not cost effective. You will never make up the difference in gas saved unless gas is like $9 a gallon.

I also suspect the car is not as handy as a 2 door Yaris. The rear vision problem you mention is only one area. Im thinking you cant get as much stuff in the Prius. Also if it breaks later on it will cost more to be fixed if it can be fixed at all. I note Toyota hybrids arent known for such problems however.

If I was rich I would buy a Prius however. I think its important to do everything we can for the environment. Also we need to stick it to the man the oil companies or we will be paying $10 a gallon for gas.

However, if everyone drove a Yaris that would do it!
