This is our third Prius C we own ( all my daughters have one). Great car, super easy on gas, easy to park in the city as well as maneuvering through the city. Seats easily fold down for a lot of extra space.

Reviewed a 2013 Toyota Prius c on Oct 20, 2022
Toyota Prius C’s dash board and the control setting panel is very crowded compared with the regular Toyota Prius. This particular car that I looked at appeared to be good from outside at the first glance, but had good amount of rust on the wheel rotors and drums,. There was rust under the hood, as well as on the support bars of the rear hatch. The braking would create abnormally high pitched sound. Like every other car in the Toyota Prius C family, this car too had problem to quickly accelerate from zero to 30 mph. Not a good value for money, in my opinion.

Why it stands out
The 2014 Toyota Prius c stands out as the smallest and most city-friendly way to get into the Prius family. It is a subcompact hybrid based on the same platform as the Toyota Yaris, but it adds the Prius name and a more attractive, fun packaging that helps it feel like more than just an economy car. Toyota also positioned it as a more affordable entry point to the Prius lineup, which makes its appeal easy to understand for buyers who want hybrid efficiency in a compact, urban-friendly package.
That focus on value and maneuverability is the Prius c’s main strength. The source also notes a price of $19,080, which helps frame it as a relatively accessible hybrid option. At the same time, the comparison to the Yaris suggests that shoppers are paying a premium for the Prius badge and hybrid drivetrain, so its appeal depends on how much those traits matter to the buyer.
