I'm a super newbie. I recently had to move very very suddenly to take care of a sick family member and now commute over an hour each way 6 days a week and work 9-10 hour days. I WANTED to get a Prius but now I NEED to get one as the car I commute in is terrible on gas. I work at a fast paced job without much time to do research at ALL, so I'm really hoping to get some helpful feedback and make a decision fairly soon. I appreciate your kindness and understanding. Life isn't easy right now. I have brought it down to these 2 I'm trying to choose between. Hoping to learn about longevity, reliability, time before needing a new battery, and anything else you can think of for each of these.... A. The Dark Grey one - 2013 Prius c Two at CarMax.
