2014 Toyota Prius C - Review and Road Test

[@BirdArvid]

LOVE my Prius C Four!! Perfect 2nd car. Is it a drag-racer? No, but quick enough to keep up with traffic, it's easy to drive and park; hassle-free driving!

[@foezer5938]

well ngl i dragged w my prius c, its quite fasr

[@rosethornil]

My Prius C (2016) gets much better mileage than shown here. I typically get high 50s, and often into the low 60s. It's a wonderful car!

[@josephmurathi8512]

Hey you still have it? I'm thinking to get 2016 or 2017 one

[@bobshishkabob05]

Your reviews are so awesome! I'm so tired of reviewers that basically go through a list of the car's specs without actually contributing their opinion. You manage to do the opposite while making it super entertaining. nice.

[@EricAtMazda]

I love how you guys said 53mpg a zillion times but the car's MPG display read 37.8 haha

[@hedgehogthesonic3181]

It's actually between 49 / 53 mpg.

[@mooneclipsedragon]

Muzio is the spunkiest reviewer I've ever watched. He makes all the videos entertaining to watch!!

[@MasterYoshidino]

I'm able to get 55 mpg on highway and I have to say a few things. The wind drag noise from low engine noise the driver has to put up with and the frequent need to correct steering is overstated. Typical Corollas have the same issue with their suspension because there is NO cushion. You feel EVERYTHING. It's what you pay for economy.

[@wjlambert]

I realize that I might get the too little, too late award for my comment, but the Electric Motor is not 45 Watts. It is likely 45 kilo Watts. 45 W would barely make an incandescent bulb practical.

[@bendsomemetal]

53 MPG!

[@tgroth2000]

Who feels their dashboard? Why would you do that?

[@dansodorxbfan7076]

When you have relations in your car, you don't want your junk or trunk rubbing up against something cold or scratchy.

[@tomj4731]

My 1997 Mazda Protege had a rock hard plastic dash that was and looked so high quality.

[@Filmsforthefuture]

So...what's the mpg?

[@MrDoofus1000]

+Dallas Dashcam miles per gallon...its imperial

[@ethanvovan]

+Thomas M >doesn't get the joke

[@ryen7512]

I regularly get 58 mpg combined when driving civilized.

[@nobodychannel7315]

mileage per.gallon..means.one leter can.run ur.car 53 kilometers

[@Randze]

53!!!

[@JCJourney]

my 2012 Prius C is 50000 miles now(53MPG). I saved about $3000 gas already compare to my 2010 Civic 30 combine MPG. live in CA. my A/C is turned ON all the time. the only maintenance I've done is oil change every 10000 miles. and one air filter. that is all. I don't care other stuff. I will save $6000 on gas when my Prius C is 100000 mile. will buy a plug-in for my next car. will get more than 90 MPG for the same commuting.

[@josephfoster30]

Driving a Prius C makes you less of a man

[@dansodorxbfan7076]

+Joseph Foster with that last name he is already there.

[@JCJourney]

+Thomas Passarelli it is 9.5 gallons, but you never get to that number unless the tank is dry and that is bad for the fuel pump. the pump is cool and lubricate by the fuel. full tank (I fill up every week and usually 7.5 gallon to 8) - I can go 450 miles

[@MasterYoshidino]

Considering the fuel economy you would probably get strange looks from asking for something like $8.00 on a refuel because of the economy of the car to top it off instead of pulling out a $20. It adds up.

[@zarakdurrani7584]

53 mpg!!

[@gene978]

I got 55 MPG CITY in my 1986 Chevy Sprint 3 Cyl. And 65 MPG HWY. What an easy car to drive and live with. Paid $700 at 55,000 miles and drove it to over a 100,000 miles and sold it for $1500 3 years later and only put snows tires on the front and winter wipers.

[@geo5106]

53 mpg!!!!!!,

[@zj020]

Dont hate on the car, it serves a purpose... and other journalists have seen upwards of the high 50's on their tests so the mpg ratings are attainable

[@MicahMuzio]

I'm curious, in which Toyota commercial do they talk about the car's "low rent" interior, touchy brakes or tendency to wandering on the freeway?

[@MattyH1992]

Cute. Both the car and Micah.

[@2Kriss2Kross]

You made a video of a Prius so fun to watch!

[@perdidonoglobo]

This was a fun, creative review. Made me smile. I wonder what the fuel economy is in the city... :-)

[@CorbinGoodwin]

These reviews just keep getting better...

[@jaykae3952]

What's the city mpg?

[@ryen7512]

53 mpg

[@theguudstuff]

They didn’t mention

[@nobodyatallvallejo3672]

Dental plan!

[@Toyeboy89]

It gets better mpg in city 50-53

[@asmodei]

if u kone hoe to drtive it 80 mpg

[@zj020]

The cycle they use is less harsh and is also imperial miles per gallon which boosts it about 10-15 mpg, still, I agree with you, and hope we see the polo or maybe the vw up

[@KenniTheKid]

I love this video! 53MPG!

[@lglotus1]

I love that part at 3:30 when he cut the big Prius off. That was funny

[@ToyotaforCorolla]

Um, yes it can. Do you have a 2012 civic hybrid? I do. And I monitor the energy propulsion screen like a little baby and I can slip into a fuel-less state where the car is only running on EV. Its possible at any speed but can only sustain acceleration up to 43 MPH... after that, the gas engine has to cut in to keep the car at speed. I think we've been over this before...

[@MrRyuzaki91]

people! 53 MPG CITY!!! It's CITY. Now, I know your diesel gets high MPG rating, but it's only achievable if you're always driving in highway.. About human and animal health concerns, diesel have more NOx and other dirty emission, even if it's a clean diesel and equipped with filters. Those filters usually works during high speeds.

[@willillybab6425]

yes, exactly: the Honda's from way back in the 90's used to easily get the same mpg as this car, and they didn't need any battery pack. ( Civic VX = 50 mpg ). Unfortunately, Honda doesn't build VX Civics anymore, and those old cars only came with manual transmission, and I cannot shift without grinding them to death.

[@S10ent]

I have owned a civic from the 90s three of them and they do not get 53 miles per gallon in the city

[@danielpark94]

hey guys, i did some research on this car. it gets 53 mpg! WOW!

[@Randze]

A pretty good sub compact, I really don't know what much to say about this thing since it's not such a important car. The interior is also very stylish, Beautiful, Nice seats. Would I recommend you to get it? Sure! If you want to go for it, and not spend tons of gas.

[@kendelion]

Most popular hybrid here in kursshiki. Sporty designs are available so cute

[@chux3193]

Wanted to know if it's only iPhone that can be used with the hub. All videos I've seen of this car ONLY emphasizes on iphone

[@oilhammer04]

It's a car built around *economy*, so don't disrespect the plastic interior. If you want a nice interior, buy a Bentley.

[@ToyotaforCorolla]

Don't care. The car still gets 70+ MPG if your willing drive a bit slow. Going the speed with everyone, I can do 61 MPG easily. That beats any car I know out there

[@keswarnathragbar8225]

Toyota Aqua in our region its called.

[@bigjimbrockington]

Great review. Pricing now is very competitive- like $18,500 for the C-#2 Looking at one for my folks- they like easy to drive small cars.

[@xer0dude]

He never told us how much MPG it gets,,,

[@Randze]

LudaCrits 53!!!

[@bril2231]

I hope you all realize that at 1:58 that is the power inverter and not the actual battery.

[@lordrenfest]

Yes, the Civic Hybrid gives you more room, but if you are truly able to get this kind of mileage out of it, you'd manage ridiculous mpg in a Prius C. Check out fuelly.com, if you want to compare the Civic Hybrid to the Prius C in terms of mpg. You give up a little space for better average mpg. Also check out mpgomatic's KZbin channel for a nice example of the C's mpg capabilities...and yes, skip through it, because the video is a bit long...

[@MrCondoriano]

brilliant review =D

[@doctorcosta]

My prius c gives me 19Km/L. And surprisingly it doesn't feel underpowered.

[@oldschool1928]

53 MPG in LONG BEACH!!!

[@gracesUtube]

We're on Google earth too, going through an intersection at Medlock Rd in Decatur, GA.

[@kenwilson5641]

Still love my 2014 Prius c

[@DJTEVAdotCOM]

53 MPG!!!! but sacrificing in all other areas. Hey at least it's tiny bit cooler looking then the rest of family.

[@juschill7]

Hey man, I like your reviews, but I do miss looking at the KBB girl. Where is she???

[@LTF85199]

Excellent Review.. Loved every second.. thx

[@T966ER]

For those wondering the Prius C does about 80-81 MPG under the metric ratings.

[@ryen7512]

This is the most practical car. High mileage, low maintenance, and less than $20k in some cases. I don't agree with the reviewer's shortcomings unless your over 6 feet tall or do a lot of highway driving over 70, in which case you probably wouldn't get this car anyway. There's nothing wrong with the interior unless what you really want is a Mercedes.

[@MasterYoshidino]

Yes. It is cramped for tall people but for average persons that do not care to impress with a fancy sports car and prefer practical vehicles it can't be beat. Edit: You can EASILY pass 70 on level road and still get +50 mpg with this car. It comes down to knowing the incline and keeping an eye on the ECO meter.

[@mikesmith5375]

Well, I have a new Buick Verano loaded heated steering wheel, everything -lol, however, i dont get half the gas mileage=dam it........Yes after seeing this vehicle in person its well built and for the value loaded its great-Oh its a great car PERIOD!

[@justinfox892]

Ikr

[@77.88.]

I drove a 2012 Prius C and was amazed at the pick up when I floored the accelerator pedal and the handling was very positive and sensitive. I give very high marks for this car and that does not count the high MPG this car will deliver ; all and all a very neat power package in a small comfortable box...

[@SalvationinCHRISTalone888]

10/1/2022: I just bought ( Toyota dealer ) my 2014 Toyota Prius C a few days ago. I hate all the electronics. I guess I’ll get use to it as I have all my previous cars. I wish they would build a SIMPLE (w/o all the buttons/gadgets, bells/whistles inside, CONVENIENT, FUEL EFFICIENT, LOW MAINTENANCE hatchback. Know of ANY CAR(s) like that?

[@jayislander]

Yes Yaris hatch or Honda fit

[@jayislander]

How is it

[@SalvationinCHRISTalone888]

@@jayislander 5/29/2023: Okay, I guess. The gas milage is SUPERB!! Okay, I guess. My auto insurance went down a lot too- hybrid. Have a nice day. My 2014 has 95,000 miles on it. I still hate all the gadgets. Miss my gray Mazda, 2013 which had only 44000 miles was on it.

[@misterq0604]

I'm disappointed that the MPG number of this car was not mentioned in this review.

[@modelearth]

check out toyota UK's website or VW. even ford UK and see how much more mpg we get compared to the US equiv. even on the same cars like the focus.

[@MrCpfans4]

Um what are you talking about? Go to fueleconomy.gov and you will learn toyota usually does beat epa stated mpg

[@therayzhou]

The multi-info display in the car says the car is getting about 38 MPG...

[@sonic_genesis]

45 mpg overall. Driving casual in the streets, like driving slow or short distance, mpg are much higher

[@Vuongiam]

How much MPG does it get?

[@modelearth]

well there are quite a few cars in the UK that can do 60+ mpg dont forget that petrol prices here are about 10 dollars a gallon so demand throughout the UK and europe is for very fuel efficent engines. also the European union has stricter rules on emmissions etc so car manufacturers have to conform to higher standards than in the US. that said the US gallon is a bit smaller i think than a british gallon or vice versa - not sure.

[@GhostBoca]

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

[@mikejohn3265]

Quick question....how many mpg.

[@leonroberson6571]

53

[@jojo0827]

Well I won't be thinking of buying a 90's geo in today, will I?

[@stewardlie]

LOVE the video

[@thisisatable1198]

What is this beautiful music? Where can I find it?

[@iamthedutchbro]

I still don't understand why it's cool to put the speedo in the middle of the dash.

[@Spoksy]

Don't be silly, the car has a 1.5 liter engine and delivers 90something horsepower, there is no reason it shouldn't be able to climb.

[@DJTEVAdotCOM]

The same seats are the same one Toyota used on their Yaris...guess we know where they cut corners.

[@justinfox892]

I went with the 2017 Honda fit. Anybody own a prius c? How does it compare?

[@invictaland1983]

Also curious. Why did you end up choosing the Fit? Has it been good so far?

[@willillybab6425]

Go to the Toyota Canada web site (www.Toyota.ca) and try to buy a Blue Yaris similar in color to the Prius C? You will find that the 'Blue Streak Metallic Prius C cost $20,440, while the Yaris is not available with the same nice blue until you upscale to the much more expensive Yaris 5-door SE model. And when you throw in an automatic transmission the cost of the Yaris comes out to $20,255. So really, both of those cars come out at almost EXACTLY the same amount (that’s if you absolutely MUST have that blue color for your car.) So please don’t say that the Prius C is expensive because when ordering that blue color, it’s the same price as the blue Yaris.

[@guitarazn90210]

How is the fuel economy?

[@Jake940T]

Felt more like a Toyota commercial than a review.

[@planedudea380]

I drove a base model of these, and besides the mpg, it really ain't much, cheap interior, even the steering wheel

[@Toyeboy89]

They have to cut corners somewhere with all that mpg hybrid goodness

[@NadrianATRS]

You composed the music too??? Wow

[@mikesmith5375]

The 2019 refresh is looking SUPERIOR!

[@modelearth]

im going by british gallon, not sure how much exactly it differs from US gallon though?

[@fantomtuba]

anyone notice that at 1:48 they are only at 37.8mpg at 124.5 miles? I get better than 53mpg in my 10 insight

[@mb013962]

if you watch the whole video he hit 85 at one point...but he finished at 70....anyway, can you do a video of your civic hybrid doing 70+ mpg? I just want proof...and you will get a lot off views too

[@aleksitanninen]

Yet another fun and concisely done review. I'd rather take VW or Audi TDi anyday though. TORQUE = FUN

[@mb013962]

cool, ill subscribe so i can see when your video comes out

[@lexusfan100]

great video..

[@lawnmowerdude]

So imagine if you put that diesel engine in a Prius. Also are you sure that the fuel economy ratings system is the same in Europe as it is in the US?

[@modelearth]

53 mpg is not that impressive for a hybrid really? there are many petrol engined cars (mainly european) that get that and better. the VW golf 1.4 tsi engine gets about 55 with the bluemotion diesel hitting 60.

[@Kvasiir]

Oh my God micah has the cutest smile.

[@Mojomotdot13]

What’s the song? Also... 53 mpg!

[@Alantris]

I can tell you it does... I own one hehehehe. Combined driving, u can get 21-22km/L easily, that is 51MPG combined. And in the city, you'll see 25 or even 30+ depending on how slow the traffic is.. that is 60-70MPH city. The 53MPG and combined 46MPG is claim is actually lower than what the car actually does. And I get over 600km for 30L and the car has 35L fuel tank and i drive it like i drive my old car.. The prius sips fuel much lesser than my old 1.1L car...

[@alextron1970]

i own one and it actually gets 63mpg in the city.

[@asmodei]

more then that

[@ToyotaforCorolla]

My 2012 Civic Hybrid get 55-70 MPG in the city and about 50-55 MPG on the highway. Looks much better than this car and is bigger. Although Im sure I could squeeze more out of this prius if I did the same driving techniques... actually I couldn't because my civic can be EV up to 43 MPH.... while this car can't do it above 25 MPH.

[@Samogon2009]

take any other regular car that has 1.5L and 99WHP and you will get 53MPG as well.

[@ToyotaforCorolla]

I can hit 60-65 MPG in basically any type of driving condition. Getting 70 MPG is going to require some intelligence from me but its possible. Alright buster. I'll find a good city loop for me to get 70 MPG. IMA is capable of running circles around HSD

[@rangerover06sc]

based on the euro mpg rating system the pruis c gets up to 81 mpg

[@phuckhugh2698]

Tehy need to make one with 120HP. 99 is not enough. I'd rather get 45-48MPG and have a fun to drive car.

[@T966ER]

Do you get 53 in the city?

[@Arz2003]

@scotty kilmer said these cars are money pits 😂 He said to buy a Toyota Celica

[@DumpValvesAndDnB]

I'm by no means an eco guy.. in fact i run a V8. but 53 mpg is shit for an eco-friendly car. in europe an eco car is 70 mpg+. allbeit diesil. but still. 53 is a bit of a joke for an eco car...

[@mb013962]

mpgomatic was doing 85mpg in the prius c

[@ryanstubbs9437]

Did u know u get 53mpg?

[@rangerover06sc]

60 us mpg or imperial?

[@kyser182]

@myruzaki91 check out Mazda's new skyactive diesel. And say the same statement. I so hope it comes to the states. We always get ripped off on the good shit

[@kevicen]

53 MPG!!!! lolz.. i cracked up with this review...

[@hedgehogthesonic3181]

If you know how to drive you can get more than 53 mpg.

[@vwbustube]

Mine gets closer to 60 mpg combined regularly.

[@djkenny1202]

What is the better Value? A new 2017 Corolla LE for $14,800 or a left over Prius C package 2 for $16,800?

[@mohammadsaadnadeem2685]

in pakistan we have AQUA instead of PRIUS C and we dont have sunroof in this car

[@sunnydhillon2809]

I think he forgot to mention it gets 53 mpg

[@SnackeyG]

Hell I'd be happy with only 30 mpg city over getting around 20 now.

[@gotdamnjimi9758]

Shit I’m getting 17 mpg 😂

[@chasedavis7943]

is this relevant to 2013? pricus 2
