    for those who have both: which one is getting better MPG? Also are they driven the same way? and if they are what type of driving they see: city, highway, long trips, etc

    Ahh. I just thought ETC(SS) wanted to see real photos of your car and not ones from the internet, that's all. It's all good.

    I've had both, but I only have the C now. My Gen 3 hatch did have better fuel economy on the highway, but the C is way way better in city. They average out close to the same if you have a mixed city/highway commute.

    BTW yellow wasn't my 1st choice; unfortunately Toyota has $395 surcharge white, so dealers don't stock it. Blue had really cheesy interior, and what a diff black and grey can make in looks!
