Most trouble free car I have ever owned

I have loved my Prius C. I have never had one complaint. Zero problems. Zero headaches. Comfortable, convenient, reliable. Every time. Not only that, but you cannot BEAT the fuel costs!

Best gas saver I've ever owned

This car is perfect for me. I have enough leg room & i love the stereo system. I save gas like no other & i love the electric motor. Never owned an electric vehicle until now and i'm highly satisfied.

I LOVE THIS CAR

This car is great for the price! I got it for $12k with all the taxes and fees. It is a 2015 but has almost 100,000 miles. It has been great! The little battery did die on me which cost me $500 to fix, just because I wasn't sure if it was the big prius battery or not, as I am new to the prius owning business. So I was just recommend reading up on everything you can about the prius so you are fully prepared. I like the C because I like little size, I love the trunk cover (it keeps everything from becoming sunbleached, since I live in Florida), I love how easy it is to park, AND I AM COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH THE ORANGE EXTERIOR COLOR!! It makes me so happy everytime I see it. I also made sure to get one with the touchscreen on the inside. It makes me feel like I am in a really expensive car, but I didn't have to pay the expensive price. I only have the C II though, and I wish I could have gotten the III or IV. The III would have navigation built in which would have been nice and the IV usually has leather seats, I think they are heated, and a sunroof, which is what I really wanted. But my Prius C II has everything that I need and I couldn't be happier. It makes me feel like a successful, fun person!

Until You Have Owned One You Will Just Never Know

I love the Prius C , I had owned a 2013 Prius C but then I totaled it in 2016, now 3 years later I was able to acquire a 2015 Prius C with less than 23K miles on it at Las Vegas Subaru. I love this car so much, it's the last "Great Prius C" , anything newer than 2015 and you'll get plastic interior parts that scratch super easy, and now Toyota has taken the Prius C and turned it into only two options L and LE both of which lack heated seats and let me tell you, nothing feels better in the winter months than Warm Softex Seats and the newest ones still use the horrible glossy black for the console and steering wheel , again it scratches and in a year looks awful, no no no the Prius C 2015 is the way to go, if you can get your hands on a low mileage one like I did, you are going to love it. This car will last forever if you take good care of the oil changes and service it as necessary, use a full synthetic oil that lasts 10K but always change at 5K This car is not super fast however I can drive from Sacramento to Reno and Back and still have gas to drive around, I can drive to the bay area and stay there all day and drive back on one tank, it is so amazing and your wallet dosn't get hit as hard so you can go further with less cash, its perfect for those of us who like to take the long way home and get lost, but if you want to get lost, the Prius C will always know where you are at whenever your done getting lost, open your maps app set your destination to home and boom, its super easy. So I have a 9.5 gallon tank and when it is filled, I get 390 miles so that averages to 41MPG however if you take advantage of the Eco Scoring and Hybrid/Eco driving system and you are a good driver you will soon find out the sweet driving spots for me it is 61mph on the freeway you will get an average of 65mpg and when you drive in the city under 25 you get about 80mpg but once you master brake regeneration you will find that you get even better MPG. Also, there is a lot of interior noise, and you can hear the road very well but just connect your phone via bluetooth and turn up the tunes, that will fix that problem every time. It's a great car but it is not for everybody I love my Prius C because I utilize all the functions to the best of my capacity to maximize distance and if you want a car that can go the distance and save you money on gas, this is the vehicle for you. I used cars.com to find my Prius C in Las Vegas , Make Sure You Do Your Research! Dealerships in California tend to Raise Prices on Used Priuses and they will always give you the " These are popular so cost more" speech don't fall for it, there are so many well priced priuses you just have to look all around, check every dealership it is very much worth it to do your research, I paid 13K for my used 2015 prius C with 23K miles on it, in California it would have cost 16-17 easy so use Cars.com to find the best deal and don't be in a rush

Most reliable and efficient car I have owned.

This car has been fantastic. At 53 combined MPG, I have never owned a more efficient vehicle. Being what it is, the C still has enough power to accelerate on an on ramp. I love this car!

The best MPG / Style in the Hybrid market period!

With a combined 50 MPG and the best looking Prius on the market with the most reliable Hybrid engine on the market at this time combine together to make the Prius C the best hybrid on the market hands down.

Car I just bought

It's a great commuter car. It does lack a bit on the c model. The car feels like it's missing some things. Gas mileage is great.
