well, i did it. im going to get the 1st c to come to good ole nashville. it will be the model three and will be black sand pearl. should arrive monday or tuesday. believe it or not this is my 4th prius . i am not a greenie(no offense) i have a harley and a benz. i just love the technology and mileage. to me it is just light years ahead of just about anything else cant wait. fred from nashville
Pretty darn well considering. Got studded snows on it and it does just as good or better than another other front-wheel drive car I have ever owned. One of my favorite shots that I am sure many are sick of....
Although Ive purchased 4 New cars from Beaman Toyota, Ive called them 4 or 5 Times, and not a single salesman has bothered to get back to me about the Prius C. I called and Left 2 Messages for a sales manager and never received a call back.... I tried One more time today, and a salesman there was actually arguing with me on the phone that the Prius C was either a plug in or a special edition Prius. Congrats on your Selection. My 2010 Prius is the last one I will be purchasing in Nashville.
Congrats and pleeeeeaaaase post pix when you get it! I am either getting the Black Sand Pearl or Absolutely Red. There just seems to not be ANY photos of the black C anywhere online. Toyota certainly didn't use it in their tests or advertisements.
netclub they have 2 cs coming in. im only dealing with a guy named don lott. he is very thorough and will call you back. mention me. act fast. the other one i believe is a grey model four. it will arrive next week. not everyone is as knowledgable as don. not really a plug for him, or maybe it is. he has been outstanding for me
Hey Fred, Don Lott here. Glad your excited about your new Prius C. Im excited to get it for you. If you or anyone on the forum need anything just let me know. Also Netcub, I sent you a message, let me know what I can do to help and get Beaman back into your good graces. I'm enjoying the forum, you guys seem to have more info than us salesman do LOL.
still keeping my fingers crossed it arrives monday and i can pick it up tuesday. ive tentativly name him "shorty". hoping its at least a tiny bit bigger than yaris. also, quietly hacked that the advertising seems to say its for young folks etc. well, im 67 and i dont give a damn about that agism crap. lift weights, work everyday, ride a harley etc . please... no age crap.:rockon: oooops venting. i am not a victim of anything except of my own doing. i hope i remember to bring my camera. also, will look at the wheels to see if they will look better without hupcaps. i will also be able to answer the question as to their color. remember, this is a three. oh, let me know if you have any questions i can address when i pick up the car. ill do my best to answer them. fred from nashville
it here its here (kind of)! just got a message that my car has arrived and that don lott will deliver it to me in the am. great news. the truck had been about 2 days late. since i cant go to the dealers he will bring it by! will give a full report and try to take pics asap. unfortunately the weather in the morning is supposed to be rainy, thundery etc. stay tuned fred from nashville
congrats fred- can you please try to find out about the backup camera -if it does or does not come with any of the prius c trims ? (was so hoping for a camera as our 2010 with the nav pack has one and we love it! Really didnt want to have to go with an aftger market one .) .
i will be answering all questions today and tomorrow after i get the c. im positive it has stamped uglyass black wheels and no camera though fred from nashville
Test drove them last night. Loved the car but here is what I immediately noticed is indeed MISSING that my 2010 regular Prius has: back up camera, HomeLink, lights on the visor mirrors, leather steering wheel....
strange, we have all this on the midgrade european Yaris ?! http://priuschat.com/forums/toyota-hybrids/102578-yaris-hybrid-reviews.html
very very first impressions with only 5 or 10 miles. well, my great salesperson, don lott, delivered the c to my house while i was at work. raining cats and dogs and his day off. when i got home ran out and jumped in . still raining cats and dogs. went to my favorite joint. stiff ride but very pleasant. no mushiness like my regular prii had. quick acceleration to a point. pretty quiet. radio etc very complicated or needing more study by me. sound system better than hoped. no big thrill but nice.seats thin but comfy. great small back support. good vision forward. not so good out back window. i will be removing those huge back rests from the rear seats asap. i never carry anyone in the back and the blockage of rear window is more than significant. not pics from me yet because of weather. however my salesguy did take pics and will post. sunday im taking a nice ride up into rural tenn including flat, extreme curvy and slightly mountaneous terrain. i will give a very detailed report complete with pics. car size small but looks bigger than yaris. VERY roomy in front. cute but cool fred from nashville
Thanks for the first impressions. Looking forward to your review. Have a great time! Glad you find the c very roomy. As a matter of fact, it's about the same size of a Yaris, and the cab-forward built of the latter makes it even a bit roomier. Both are very roomy for their class. And the c is a Prius... Jan :focus:
