2013 Prius C

I've had a couple of C's come through our shop for parts. Very nice car, I'd buy it in a second if I needed a high mileage, compact commuter car.

It is an excellent car. Most buyers are also reporting much better than EPA ratings. High 50's combined is most common. Many are reporting into the 60's or even 70 MPG range in more controlled situations.

For me, I couldn't justify trading the Yaris in for one in my situation. I'd be gaining maybe 15 mpg, maybe more, but the $20k or so price wouldn't add up for a car that offers no more space than my Yaris.

My next car will be an up-size from my Yaris as we are starting a family. The Yaris is fine but looking forward we'll want something a bit bigger but just as efficient, if not more so. I would consider a standard Prius to fit that role. Although a next gen Corolla would be a strong contender. Can't wait to see what Toyota does with it.
