    I originally planned to buy a full-size Prius. I liked the exterior styling, the technology etc.. But to me it felt like driving a barge or a big old bus! They had a Yaris Hybrid (Prius C) so I took a test-drive and instantly liked it! Same economy as the bigger car, but much more fun to drive and easier to park on tiny UK parking bays... The UK version also has a much more conventional and un-Prius-like instrument panel, and disk brakes all round.

    I like the c. It's kind of the closest thing to the classic Gen 1, only with two later generations of powertrain advances backported to its 1NZ engine.
