Toyota Prius C, Honda Accord rank on Parents magazine and Edmunds.com list of Best Family Cars of 2013 - NY Daily News
Good thing they didn't get Consumers Reports feed back. After reading CR report I was wondering if I was driving the same car.
Right, its two car seats and no one else in the back, or a car seat and maybe two people, depending on their size. My C wont't work for my cousins with their two car seats and Grandma.
A car seat plus two adults in the back would be *very* tight, but the seat plus two kids who are old enough to use regular seatbelts would probably work.
The Prius C can be considered a family vehicle. I own both the Prius C and Sienna. I drive the Prius C to work (40 miles each way without expressways) and run errands. Additionally, I can comfortably fit two family members with me in this vehicle. My wife uses the Sienna to drive a few miles to work and we use it to take family all over, etc. So the Prius C is a perfect fit to hold costs down and still function in a family setting.
