    Does the Prius C have as much room for the driver as the more conventional Prius? I have a 2011 Prius III that my 6 foot daughter can drive comfortably, but was wondering if she would fit into the Prius C. Thanks for your help.

    it's funny, some tall people have long legs and short torso, and some the opposite. you'll probably need a long test drive to be sure.

    Thanks for your advice. That would be the smart thing to do.

    I am 6'2" and rented a Prius C for a few days. It worked fine for me. I even fit in the back seat.

    I'm 6 "3 and I definitely have enough leg room.... my right knee touches the gear knob though and getting in and out is a pain as I have to literally dip my head under the door frame .


    iPhone ?

    I'm 6'2" and I love it! But I also have owned a lot of smaller cars. Back seats are tight but sight lines are better than the Gen 3
