I am looking at the Prius c 3 or 4 with the moonroof and 15 inch alloy wheels. At first I was set on the 4 but as far as I can tell there isn't much difference between the 3 and 4 besides the softex seats with heated seats and the heated side view mirrors. Is that right? I am doing most of my shopping online to get the best deal possible. I am willing to travel to get a better discount. I am also looking at 2012s because I figure the dealers would be more willing to discount those since the 2013s are out. Is there any reason to get a 2013 over the 2012? The online descriptions are not always accurate. And I don't want to travel somewhere just to find that the car isn't as described. Can anyone with the 3 or 4 tell me if these options are installed? - lighted vanity mirrors - light above back seats - pocket behind the driver seat (I've seen this personally in 3 different prius c 4s - there is a pocket behind the passenger seat but the driver seat is sealed) - fold down armrest between the back seat with cup holders Thanks!
Fog lights... potentially 16" wheels, black dash. There is no difference between the 12 and the 13. Vanity mirror light, no. Above back seats, no. Pocket, no, just passenger. Fold down, no.
2012 versus 2013 differences can be found in the other thread 2012 vs 2013 — What changed between model years? | PriusChat 2013: there are a few changes but most significant is that there is a positive jumper terminal under the hood for emergencies. and that all models now have black dash panels standard.
