Hi all, I read somewhere (do not remember where) that some of the Prius c levels have a different steering ratio, or something like that? Does anyone have any details about what it means, and about which levels have it, and what it means for the driver? thanks!
Thanks. So, if I want the Four, do I *have to* get the different steering ratio? I do not want 16" tires: I prefer a smaller turning ratio.
No, you "don't have to". 16" is an option for 3 or 4, I have a C4 with 15" wheel: one of the smallest turning circle vehicle out there.
The 16" tire option has the "faster" turning ratio. All Prius C's with the 15" wheels have the slower ratio. I have owned 3 Prius C's and all had the 15" tires for 2 reasons. First, the turning circle is much smaller with the 15" wheels and second, the ride is not as harsh with the 15" compared with the 16".
