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 smaller, more city-friendly way to get into the Prius family. It is described as a subcompact hybrid based on the same platform as the Toyota Yaris, but with the Prius drivetrain and more attractive, fun packaging. Toyota also positioned it as a more affordable route into the Prius lineup, and the “C” in its name is said to stand for “City,” which fits its urban focus.
That positioning makes the Prius c appealing to buyers who want hybrid efficiency in a compact, easy-to-live-with package rather than a larger Prius variant. The tradeoff is that its appeal is tied closely to value and city use, so it is best understood as a practical, budget-conscious choice within the Prius family rather than a broadly luxurious or spacious one.
