Just got home with my PRIUS C 2.....LOVE LOVE LOVE IT, 51mpg, on a 100 mile trip, on hwy going 65 per hour,,,,,,,,Its so much more fun too drive than my 2010 Prius..........:welcome:
Hi James, Thank you for posting and congrats! Could you let me know your impression of the car in high speed and crosswind situation? Does it feel light if you need to pass a container truck? Thanks so much!
Yea I'm starting to realize that the EPA seriously underrated the hwy mpg on this car. OP, I'm getting consistent 60 mpg on the mid going 65 mph on the fwy. Try and beat that
60mpg average or 60mpg on the instantaneous display? There is a big difference. My GenII could easily pull off 53-55mpg average is speeds were kept below 65mph. The c will likely do better. :rockon:
NO Problem with crosswinds or trucks next to you on the highway.... I also own a yaris, this car is much quiter and smooth.......perfect car
I also came from a Yaris five door , and wholeheartedly agree with James, no problem with cross winds or Semi trucks. The Prius aerodynamics really work! BTW even at speeds 70-75 I got 46-47 mpg! Not too shabby!
Yay! I'm going from a 2010 Prius into the Prius C! Can't wait! I agree that even from my little test drive, the C felt way more fun to drive than my 2010. Congrats!
^Same here (upgrade-wise). The only fun I'm gonna' have is seeing how close to 80 (mpg, that is) and beyond I can get, lol.
Actually Vinnie, yesterday on a short 2 mile ride home from the video store I managed to get an amazing 89.2 mpg's fo real!!!!! I was blown away!
update over 350 miles on my C..... getting 60mpg in the city, 53 on the hwy.....best car i ever owned, better than my 2010 prius....:rockon::rockon::rockon::rockon:
Awesome to read this!!!! I should have my C in about a week. It really feels like I can't wait any longer
I'm glad we got ours when we did, I have a funny feeling there's going to be a supply/demand issue for awhile with the C!
Well James, it was cool to drink some coffee and bond over mpg's and Prius C's today lol! I loved the Habenero color and please don't take offense if I call it The Great Pumpkin or Orange crush lol! Wish I knew how to upload a pic of our two C's side by side from my phone. I'll play around w it later.
