Buying Prius C tommorow, not sure if One or Three

what do you like in the 3 that is not in the 2?

 

Based on your info using zip code 10025 "as a random" in NYC use this Regional configurator to decide by equipment and price. Happy shopping.

Don't know your exact Dealership, but you stated area is the Gulf State Region, which has many C2s. In the DFW area we have them. Don't rely on you Dealerships in-house inventory to make your choice. They will get you the one you want or go with another Dealership. Dealer trades are done daily.

 

For the record I has used two different Toyota Dealerships in DFW and they both did Dealer trades to get what I wanted. PM if you want more help.

 

Tell them to get you a C2. Usually takes 1 to 3 days depending on where and what. I show quit a few they can trade to get and you still get your deal with them. Here's a random for OKC.

Be advised I work nights and although it's my day off, it's nap time now. Will check in later tonight if you need it.

 

That's great you got the 3. I got a 1 for cheap (so I can't really complain). But man.... Toyota really cut some corners.....no rear speaker (not even wired for speakers). Can't put a baggage cover, so groceries are in the open..and no engine sound deadening. If you can afford a3 go for it. The little car is fun though... turn the ac off and go through some turns with the Windows down and in electric mode... it's a super golf cart

 

Congrats GaryHere. Stop by and have your dealership check the alignment and wheel balance.

 

just double-click the open button to do all 5 doors. also if you use the key, just unlock it twice to do the same thing

 

You know that you can just grab the driver's door handle to unlock the car, right? Well, you can also set it to unlock all doors - here's the section from the manual:

Not mentioned there is that you can open the hatch with the fob in your pocket, and that also unlocks all the doors. And it's easy to miss the small button to the right (when you're standing behind the car) of the hatch contact pad - this locks all the doors.

Now you have the car you should edit your profile to list it as a Three - makes answering questions more reliable!

 

Plastic instead of fabric on the sides in the back is what sold me on the 2, because dogs. CC is nice, and my iphone has nav so I didn't feel the need for anything more.

 

Enjoy the c3. I test drove one back when I was deciding whether to get a prius c, and I was interested in it, but the dealership wouldn't budge on the price too much despite it being a 2012 model in March 2013. Another dealership offered to sell me a 2012 c3 for $500 less than the lowest the first dealer offered, but ultimately I chose a c4 that a third dealership had. The fog lights and heated seats/mirrors are very useful in SE Wisconsin.

The GPS navigation is free, as is Entune (other than whatever data usage you pay for on your smartphone), but it's really limited compared to a dedicated GPS unit, and I usually don't bother using Entune. That said, it's also really nice to have one built into the car just in case you forget your phone or the battery is low/no service.

Watch this video, keep it under your favorites on youtube and watch it from time to time. Though Bob Wilson (a regular poster on these forums) is talking about a Gen 3 prius in the video, almost everything he mentions (aside from a "power" mode button) applies to a c as well. You really can hit 60 mpg on average in the warmer months (expect 41-47 mpg in the wintertime on average) if you utilize these techniques.
