 I traded in my dying 2006 Toyota Matrix XRS with 170k on the odometer.  I was getting around 30mpg and it was a pretty speedy car with lots of room. I had limited time to look around and ended up finding a Black 2013 Prius C One with black tinted glass and only 30,000 miles.  It was also a Toyota Certified Car so it came with reliability, an extended warranty, and peace of mind.It wasn't love at first sight though - I was looking at it from a practical point of view; I liked the idea of saving money on maintenance and the awesome 20+mpg jump in MPG more.  Also, the price I paid was in my range.  It does its job as a commuter car and it has actually saved me a lot even though I now have payments.  I have even taught myself a few hybrid tricks to get better fuel mileage (no warming up the car, no fast acceleration, moving the gas pedal so it uses electric only mode more) and I now am getting between 50-60mpg with mixed highway/road driving.  I love the fact that it tells me how much money in gas I have spent to drive to a place.While the technology on the engine/hybrid system is awesomely advanced, the rest of the car feels like a cheap economy car.  That's exactly what it is, though, so I didn't really expect too much in terms of refinement.   You basically pay for the hybrid system in what is a car like a Yaris.  It has automatic windows, a bluetooth CD player, automatic AC, Steering wheel controls, and a CVT for convenience.  It does not have Cruise Control, there are no variable intermittent wipers, no trunk light, and only has a 2 speaker CD player.  It's odd to me to have automatic AC but no trunk light???  I feel like these are things that became a staple in economy cars in the 2000's.  The saving grace of the CD player is it's bluetooth capability which works better than higher end Volkswagens.  It has clear sound, nobody I'm talking with can tell I am using the internal bluetooth microphone for calls, and it is easy to sync devices.When I got the car I made two immediate upgrades - I changed all the lights on the interior and exterior to LED, put in HID headlights, and changed out the hubcaps to something a little better.  The HID upgrade was great and the LED's really made the car stand out at night.  The handling of the car is great!  If I were to put sporty tires on the car I'm sure it would be great at an Autocross.  The turning radius is also great and has allowed me to get in and out of some tight spaces without issue.In the end, it serves its purpose and I'm hoping it will take me into the next decade without issue.**Update 10-2017**I've taken a ton of road trips in this car and it's been comfortable and reliable.  It's allowed me to take some budget weekend trips that have included me sleeping in the car with the AC on.  It's not the most comfortable, but I was able to get enough rest.  A PriusC is great when it comes to sleeping overnight because the motor is just a glorified generator for the AC that turns on when needed to charge the battery.  It turned on once every 15 minutes for an entire night and I don't feel it was bad on the car at all.  I'm very glad they don't count hours on the car and that they stick with mileage!  I've been a little wild with the car and have been racing it on tracks too - the handling is great and I can beat a lot of cars out there but the power simply isn't there.  Not surprising to me, but the other drivers are super surprised at the cornering.  After 80,000 this car is still ticking like day one without any issues.**update in 4-2018**I haven't been doing as much mileage on it because I moved closer to where I work.  The Prius C is still running great, and now I only have to fill it up once a month!  Besides replacing the windshield wipers and almost needing tires there has been no problem and no maintenance necessary.  Great car that I recommend to anybody that needs basic transportation.
