crap, I am running down to get one in Black Sand Pearl.....Fill her car up once a month..OMG ! the saving will = ashitloadofmoney
Now I just need to figure out which truck to trade in...her 2010 4runner Trail, or my 2010 FJCruiser Trail Team Edition...? I think I would need to Man up her 4runner with lift/tires/bumper/winch/sliders though.

design wise i like it a lot better than the Prius. plus...it looks really good when you throw some JDM tuner style wheels on it...





as a commuter car this would be great.

Those wheels give me a whole different perspective about the Prius C and I have to say it looks good.

I saw a Prius C in the parking garage today ....
its like a Price-up Yaris+battery pack..

While my car is not nearly as fuel-efficent..
I am happy with my 35-40mpgs mix city/hwy average.

Would you rock a Prius C as your daily driver? [VIDEO]

Given that our 86s are already very efficient and quite practical with the folding rear seats and deep trunk, having a separate daily vehicle is not entirely necessary.

But recently I was driving around in the Prius C for the following video review and it got me thinking. It can't replace a sportscar, but if you can have two... this seems like a pretty good, super efficient, super practical daily driver. The hatchback also made it really easy to load and unload camera gear. Very affordable too.

- Would you rock one of these? Or is it too slow or too dorky?
- If the 86 isn't already your daily driver, what IS your daily driver or 'practical' car?

I'm not sure the model of Prius, but I did watch a friend get his ass handed to him by one while trying to show off in his FRS... Rather amusing lol

So the slowness shouldn't be a factor... And yeah, I'd rock one for my commuter if I could afford a second commuter car like that

After following the 86 over the years and reading so many mod posts all I kept thinking about was... what sort of mods would I make to the Prius too!

Some super light wheels and lowered ride and side skirts would actually make that car look rather cool imo. Being an IT man I rather dig the interior / gadgets.

F150 is my other car when not driving the BRZ.

A Prius cant haul around sleds, atvs, fishing boat and other manly things of life.
