Unless you need something that small, the regular Prius liftback (4th gen) gets better mpg, more power, better handling, more comfortable, and has better Toyota incentives. I'd also stay away from the Yaris hatchback (unless you find a manual, the automatics are painfully slow since it's a 4-speed). This is coming from someone who owns a Yaris, and has a Prius c and Prius liftback in the family.

The new Corolla would also be a good choice if you don't want to spend the money on a Prius.
Thank you for these information! Yeah, I've been debating with those cars. Pros and cons and you have helped me eliminate and go down to few options. I realized that having just a small accident can be questionable in a long run. I was talking to my wife with those but she did tell me to get something that I can be happy with. As long as it works out with the budget. I'm always going down to thinking I miss having the twin as a daily.

I would personally pass on that particular BRZ as the price to mileage ratio doesn't really work in my opinion. Plus, there's the issue that it was involved in an accident.

Have you checked craigslist recently? I hate to say it, but there's always a large number of used twins popping up there, some of which seem to have been babied!
Hey! What's up man? I was not expecting it to be so soon. I know it will not be a brand new one but I just miss having the twin and happy with the community that it is part with! Thank you for that information! I will be aware of it through my search.

Here are a couple better possible options I found while I was bored.
Both of these are under mileage with zero accidents. The FRS is Auto, the BRZ is Manual.

@Clipdat is right on the money with the mileage and accident factors. There's plenty out there that haven't been in one at all.
