Just published on line, this review of the 2013 Prius c is a well-balanced report for once. " Like I said before, Prii have the ability to change even the most hardened car tester’s driving habits. I know this, because although my week in the car heavily featured 70 mph highway driving, a scenario in which the Prius c sucks down fuel with no respite to catch its breath on battery power, I still achieved a 45 mpg average." "As an economical city runabout or an entry point into the Prius brand for a potential first-timer, or perhaps a family that wants to add a smaller member to an existing Prius fleet, the c serves as a solidly recommendable spendthrift."
