A new type of car doesn't come along every day. In a market that's already saturated with vehicles, it's not easy to dream up something entirely new. It's yet another challenge to execute it successfully and build that concept into a car people actually want.

Holy shit! A 50 second intro?? Why?
nyak63RUS because he can...
@@howardmanley3388 Thanks, grade 4 level answer.
nyak63RUS ask and you shall receive...✅
You need to stop using that vile expression immediately! Only God is holy. God the Father, God the Son, and of course, God the HOLY SPIRIT. That foul, smelly, repugnant waste product that comes out of your rectum is NOT HOLY and should not be placed in the same category as the Lord Himself. I realize that in contemporary society, some people use that foul expression, but it only serves to malign and blaspheme our true and great creator God. Your words are sinful and will be recorded by the Lord Himself until you repent of that ridiculous expression.

I only started noticing the Uhs when I read all these comments with the people bitching lol, it is still a great review.
uh uh uh uh uh uhm uh uh uhm uh uh uhm....
Understandable
I often get 70+ city AND I find myself driving a lot safer to get better MPG! Lol
I love how it drives, I have plenty of space, and I hardly ever put gas in my car anymore even though I drive a lot. I do have to say, enjoying this car takes a lot of practice though cause you really have to learn how to accelerate, how to break, and how to cruise. I love my Prius C. 💝
What's the back seat like? I'm tryna get one for Uber but don't wanna piss everyone off!
@@levijessegonzalez3629 Roomy
These car great for road trips.
@@levijessegonzalez3629 room's a little tight... U can seat 4 no problem (2 in front/2 in the back), but if u put a 3rd person in the backseat it's going to be a little cramped.
@@levijessegonzalez3629exactly the purpose I want it for too.
I cringed every time this guy said "uh"....So about 4,000 cringes.
He only started at 3:10 :)
No now I can’t stop hearing it 😂😂

It’s not easy to talk on videos.
Great review.
Looking at buying one now for my parents.
You seem pretty tall- mind telling us how tall you are?
Helps in figuring the room in the car.
Thanks!
to save gas, to adapt to the harsh reality of future gas prices. So, yeah. keep putting in that 50-100 bucks every 2 weeks worth of gas in your POWERFUL Car, when you drive within the speed limit most of the time anyways or risk the chance of eating a hundred dollars ticket. I own a prius, and I also own a yamaha R1 that compensate for the "thrill and speed" I seek where you really can't compare with your "powerful" car.
If they made these green cars look cool they would sell more and it wouldnt have a gay stigma. I was going to buy this car. Got over the exterior. Got over the low acceleration. But the interior looks stupid. Wtf. Make fuel efficient cars look cool inside and out! Why makem look gay as fuck...so no one buys them cuz secretly car manufacturers have a thing with the oil companies...
Make an off road capable prius and I'm all in.
They've made one. Toyota yaris cross... 😏
seems like a great car, unfortunatly I do most of my driving on the highway :(
Didn’t any of your friends or family ever told you that you’re using too much of “uh” in your sentences ? 🤔
1:55 hes probably like: well it might be a prius but atleast I don't ride a bike like that guy on the side of the road I just passed there lol
I think its back seat legs space is small and not feeling comfortable with 5 people on long journey
Is this the car the battery cost $1500 to replace? Who would buy this?
im goin thru it now 😡😡😡
owner 2013 prius c 128000 miles almost 4 years. hybrid battery replaced, auxiliary 12 v battery replaced, breaks pads replaced once, now key ignition cylinder need be replaced $ 700 according to dealer some green bills to afford a greener car
Was the hybrid battery replaced under warranty if not how much did it cost. Did the car just stop running or did the economy go in the toilet.
How much are battery replacement?
C'mon meow, playing the "uh" game was almost as shitty as this pile-o-dog-shit car.
0-60 in under a minute. Not bad.
Does anyone know at what speed the pure electric motor switches off and the gas guzzler kicks in?
Has anyone tried taking one of these on a longer journey, as in a good half day or two at highway speeds, across country?
If so, what was it like? Is it still fuel efficient and good to drive, or does it suck back the gas and bounce all around the road like a rubber ball?
I live in Florida and drive an Infiniti V8. My brother in Pakistan has this in 2017 model but it’s called Toyota Aqua. It’s essentially same as US model. I drove it. The fuel economy is as advertised even higher in city. Motor starts to kick in around 20-30 kmh. The ride is okay, not too harsh not too soft. It’s not a performance car but it’s peppy. Regarding longer journey, I drove 10,000 miles in 5 months and took a lot of longer trips. It’s pretty comfortable for 2-3 hrs but then my butt got sore so I had to take a break. So if you take breaks every 2-3 hrs, it’s not that bad. There are no arm rest though. Can cruise comfortably at 75-80mph. Interior is mix of cheap plastic and some nice glossy finishes.
There is a eco score on it?! Wow, the "old" Prius drivers would probably score less than 40. C'mon Toyota you are distracting Prius owners too much...
get this and the rx-8 and we have an equilibrium
Bought a Prius C (4) Fun to drive, saving me $200 a month in gas. Interior looks way better than the 1 & 2. Averaging 53 miles per gallon compare to 14mpg on my previous car. Slow aceleration but it is worth the savings. Only complaint no rear camera. Don't buy the extended warranty and service plus if offered. Over priced. Read your manual for internal service and you will see what I mean.
I just looked at a 2 ($17k) and a 3 with added sunroof and lane detection ($18k). Both left overs from 2016. What do you think?
How do i no which one i got?i have a Prius c but dont no if its 123 or 4
Im waiting for the day when there's a cool, hip, fun hybrid....Prius is not it.
HAHAHAHAAH i read your comment before watching it, and as i watched it i could pick out EVERY "uh". it got so much more annoying
Good review, and video..Thanks
I would love to hear what Top Gear thinks of it ! Well..anyone who thinks they are doing their part for the environment by buying these battery laden cars, they are sadly mistaken, and
ill-informed.
46 uhhs I counted.
He uses "Uhs" for his commas and periods. Way too many Uhs!!! The review itself was very good.
3:36 hate those thick A pillar . Directly in the driver view
Great review, but please stop saying UH so much!!! I had to stop watching...
🤣🤣🤣
According to Fuelly, real world fuel econ is approx. 2-3mpg better for the Prius C (51.7 vs 49.3). It is also cheaper than the regular Prius.
For the price and high mpg, i could probably live with 11.5 sec 0-60 time. Just wish it had awd though for snowy conditions
I cracked up laughing when I realized who you were talking about
Damn you, I was just focussing on the "uh" didn't listen to what he was saying.
Nice selection of filming locations in La Jolla.
Uh
Uh was abused in this..... But it's great great review
i m using this car for 05 years , millage 124000. still didnt go to garage ,
uh i want uh a uh prius uh c uh. uh uh it's looks uh cool uh to drive
ha ha ha ha ha uh ha ha uh uh ha ha ha ha uh ha ha
Even in 2017 not counting the new ICONIC (69 MPG) this is a strong seller- sexy, a mans real car for MPG!
By the time im 20 imma grab one of these mofos and cruuuuuuiise
Review or sales brochure?
This looks less hideous than prius.
It's also called Aqua.
couldn't even watch the review was just waiting for him to say Uh
Test drove this car today! I really liked the cost per kilometer reading, and how it shows when you are being efficient, I got a high score and hit the "eco" rating, which means the car likes you. I really think tinted windows and aluminum rims and this car would be perfect.
Sooo… i know this was like 12 years ago, but I have to ask, did you buy the car in the end?
I've had a 2012 Nissan Titan for the past 8 months and 12mpg is starting to get to me. Love my truck but rarely tow with it and could probly get by with a car.
wow... so this car tells you how much you've saved over "regular" cars...
sounds more like an ego car than an eco car.
Ug lee
C'mon meow, playing the "uh" game was almost as shitty as this pile-o-dog-shit car.
awesome..i could take a vacation with all the gas money saved.
We are going to have alot of drunks after this then my friend.
cause Toyota is known ugly ass exterior and interior for old farts.
Uh😸😸😹😸
Nice review; stop saying UH!
Much better than the regular Prius
We have that model car, and as of this October 2018 had no issues. But, yesterday, the car started to blare its horn intermittently, like an alarm, as soon as we left the driveway in the morning. It stopped after a few blares. The horn did this again an hour later, as I was driving at 40 miles/hour. I stopped immediately, put the shifter in P, the back to Drive; the horn stopped. So, this may not affect the performance, but it’s a real alarm about electronic circuitry.
I like your reviews. they are great.
Winner winner chicken dinner....almost. That interior is hideous. The exterior is ok. Less girly lookin but still wheres the 2 door hatch sedan coupe...starting price of $19k...yeah youre never going to see that at a dealer. Its going to be $23k+. 50mpg is the only cool thing about this. $15k its a winner. Anything higher you need to restyle. Again why cant they make this look sharp. Eco boxes look so gay.
Thank you For intro ?
Uh
On average, typical euro cars have less displacement, because they are more concerned with mpgs that 0-60 times like most Americans. They'll also use direct injection, turbos, and diesel for more mpgs, because they pay almost double for gas. Besides favoring larger cars, Americans don't wanna pay a lot for a compact car (even with better engine tech) because there's a social stigma in small eco cars. There's simply not the same market demand here yet - but it's changing.
uh
Would this car fit a tall person ? I’m 5’10
This guy is the Auto Guide goat! Wonder what happened to him?
Different crash safety and emissions standards, as well as different sized "gallons" (US vs Imperial gal). Plus lower sulfur cleaner diesel is much more expensive and harder to find in the US.
unfortunately Americans tend to be reactive instead of proactive and a hit to the wallet is the only way of forcing them to think about fuel efficiency and smaller cars.
Great review. Great mpg city driving
where do you put the spare tire?
its in the back underneath the carpet
@2012ToyotaLineup Normal people (in North America) refer to MPG as US Gallons, not Imperial. Using Imperial Gallons in the Canadian literature seems a little sneaky to me (it makes perfect marketing sense of course).
What gives these manufacturers the idea that people who want great gas mileage don't care for nice things like sporty handling, sporty exterior or a premium sound system. Why does cheap have to mean sacrificing fun?
Odd about the lower highway MPG for a car that's 500+ pounds lighter than the original. But most Americans seem to do most of their driving on city roads, so this is not a narrow focus car.
Drinking game: drink a shot every time this guy says, "uh"
@jsponson I think his mouth is moving faster than his brain. I couldn't watch the entire video after about 20 "Uhs", I just couldn't take it any more.
@mobilehitch yes..until u realize that we use mostly the same units (and spellings!) with UK and most car manufactures refers to imperial when they say mpg in canadian ads as well...
So true. welcome to the conspiracy that actually true. That's how in Europe clean diesels can get 60 mpg while in the good ol U.S of A they rarely get more then 40.
EPA ratings are different then the European setup. Diesel is good, but they aren't still clean. The Prius C is SULEV. Europeans have ULEV-II diesels.
You wouldn't be able to walk after playing that drinking game and I hope to god I would wake up with my pants still on.
Instead of downgrading to a 1.5, why not just keep the 1.8l engine? I know it's for fitment issue but they could've place the engine further into the engine bay.
Just paid $22,700 for a Prius C option 3 (included powered sunroof and floor/trunk mats) in SF Bay Area. Plus tax and license fees, it comes up to $24, 964.93. Just want to put it out there because I was so tired of making bargaining and couldn't find the correct market price. Enjoying the car so much so far...
How was it
@@jayislander still driving it after 10 years without any major problems! Love it 😹
@@sunnylovemesomuch wow nice what’s the mileage now ?
@@jayislander 50 mpg for city. 60 mpg for city plus freeway... It stays the same over the years.... 💋 Love 😘
@@sunnylovemesomuch 🔥🔥nice
GREAT REVIEW! THX!
Once again... the Americans get a break on pricing compared to us Canuks. Up here this car starts at $20000.
he probably has a stuttering problem and say "uh" keeps him from stutteeerrrinngg.
If you hear "uh" once, you can NEVER unhear uh the uh the uh's
Great review!
Did this dude say gen y LOL around 1:00
Edit 1:04
I think it doesn't look like the one is going to be sell in Italy... does it??
This dude needs to stop adding filler words.
The price is definitely right. I only wish the exterior was less... bleh.
I love Prius, but it's all about dat PHV: youtube /watch?v=X4GCxTd3wB0
From 3:08 to 3:56, the presenter says,"uh", 16 times. In less than 1 minute alone.
He also provides a signifcant amount of valuable info on the car.
and the world's longest intro goes to....
Wenn man bedenkt wieviel % Der Menschen überhaupt das Geld für so ein Sparsames Auto haben :(
Just bought a used one today, wow 480 miles per tank.
Mileage ?
Good review but you havd GOT TO STOP SAYING UH!!!! Your a good presenter but you say uh at the start of every sentence.
Maybe c stands for crap...✅
Oh man, it's from 2012.
Uh
aarrgghh - once you notice it (after I saw your comment) :)
I just noticed the 'Uh's just right now.
Why do they have to make these cars so goofy looking???
and they're selling it at malaysia for 95k. The fuck
In 2015, (according to Topgear Malaysia) they are selling for about RM150k.
*WHAT THE ACTUAL FU-*
And I am here contemplating to buy a second hand unit for around 28k.
