    Read the equipment list carefully.

    Pretty sure my '17 C-4 does not have heated seats.
    But in Florida, I don't care either.

    I was hoping for auto headlights and adaptive cruise......but those things are missing too.

    The 2017 prius c level 4 does have heated seats...level 4 is a big improvement from a level 2...

    Thos with a lot of highway driving might be bebtter with the Prius Liftback instead of the Prius c, which is designed for city commuting, IMHO.

    Sure 'nuf. Right there below the parking brake lever, along with some other switches that I never use either.

    I moved up from a 3 so the difference wasn't that big.

    I drive 60 mph speed limits on the highway everyday. I'm averaging around 58 for my daily commute. It's bringing my lifetime back up. :D

    You can hear the CVT over the wind noise or the radio? Man... you ride silent, huh...

    I have a 2014 C3 and I wish I had more space in the back for the occasional trip to the hardware store and for carrying a mountain bike without having to buy roof racks. Also it's interesting that my highway mpg is almost 60mpg compared to the town mpg that is closer to 45mpg. I commute daily close to 70 miles, about 90% highway, the average speed is 60mph and I still get that high mpg. I don't like the road noise when the asphalt is bad but otherwise I find it to be a decent little car and very stable at high speed (100mph).

    In my experience with two C's, that cruising speed is real near to the "sweet spot" for max. gas mileage.
    If you up it to 70, you might lose 10 MPG.

    Have had my 2016 C2 since July. Still love it. Yeah, the gas mileage has slipped a bit now that the weather is colder but that's to be expected.

    I have never purchased a car with power in mind. My first cars were Mustangs with 2.3L and standard transmissions. Then as I needed space for travel / flea markets my next 2 vehicles were minivans. "Traded in" a 2002 Honda Accord (again 2.3L standard) that I got 320K miles out of at nearly 40mpg highway.

    I am also in TX. True about there being trucks everywhere. Luckily mine came with an alarm.

    I regret not buying the 4 instead of the three. I ended up putting jdm reverse camera and other things. That rear map light would’ve been in handy also. Just wasn’t digging the stock rims but came to be okay with them.
