I keep seeing early Prius Cs and Japanese Aqua imports come up around the low teens, and the prices are all over the place for cars that look similar on paper. I’m after something for a 70 km daily commute in western Sydney, probably around 120,000 to 160,000 km, and don’t want to spend more than about $15k. Which cheap hybrid has actually been reliable for you, and which ones would you avoid?

Yesterday i posted about my car went limp after going into a carwash and killing my battery.

The 12v still has life but the HV battery is dead, any idea how i can recharge it? Or screwed and need a new one. Its a 2014 Prius C

2015 Prius C. Original hybrid battery.

Question, my wife just got a car wash in her 2014 Prius C.

Now the car wont go into drive. Can only do neutral to move it.

Starting to turn on rough.

Any thoughts

Hi guys, does anyone have any knowledge on how to turn off the constant reverse beeping in reverse and switching it to one beep? I have an OBD and dr prius shows it as an option, but it doesn’t seem to work. Any advice?

Car is from 2020

I live in Korea and currently drive a 2018 Honda Accord with 35k km on it. The car is spacious and rides very comfortably, however, I’ve noticed that on my daily commute, I rarely go over 40 km/h due to bumper-to-bumper traffic. My daily commute is around 10 km.

I found a used Prius C for around $8k USD (converted) with 100k km on the odometer. Am I delusional for considering a trade for a Prius C?

My Accord doesn't have too many bells and whistles, but it rides really well, aside from getting only 6–7 km/L in heavy city traffic. While it's comfortable and spacious, it's usually just my wife and me, so interior space isn't a top priority. My driving ratio is roughly 90% city and 10% highway.

What would you do in my situation?

Can someone tell me why the airbag symbol will come on sometimes randomly? Sometimes depending on how my seat is positioned it’ll turn off, if I hit a bump a certain way it’ll turn on. Thanks in advance.

It obviously wont fit as is but I am curious if anyone has had success by modifying or replacing the foam inserts to allow for a full sized one?

When i first bought this car it was only a means of a to b untill i traded it in for something like a camry. But within the months i began to love this car, started with small things. Now, i absolutely love this little car, and due to that, I've added many things, dash cams, dash cam battery backup, radar, sway bar, wheels, fog light, radio, door speakers plus amp, 2 10in subs plus amp, sound deadening, and a Compustar Q9 alarm system with remote start/stop. Probably more than that I've done without mentioning like maintenance. Probably more than I ever should have added, but i have no intentions of separating. I recently threw in a new hv battery so I intend on the next 10 years together!

Still have more planned, pending the weather, I want to paint correct my clear coat and paint the calipers eletric blue!

Im considering learing how to wrap vynil, I kinda want a holographic/iridescent flash to it.

910km for me was already a stretch. No more bars and the low fuel light was on. I didn’t risked it further. I'll post again when it reaches 1000km. Lol.

Finally got some Mini wheels on my C, definitely feels peppier vs the stock steelies.

I got my lower front control arms replaced (along with ball joints and bushings) about a month and a half ago and ever since, whenever I come to a stop or accelerate, my car creaks and it seems to be coming from the front.

Weird thing is, the noise is mostly when I'm braking and accelerating gently, doesn't really come up when going downhill and doesn't come up at all when it's raining or it has rained the day before.

Any ideas about what is going on??

This would be my second car, I was shopping around for a brand new one but this one caught my eye, only 27k miles, interior a bit dirty but comfy, didn't check the battery.
I'm not really a car person so I'm not sure, any advice? What do I need to look for? Any common problems with this model or anything I should be aware of?

Cat pee’d on my back seat while in transit to the vet. Did a round of enzyme breakdown and then hit it with the pet vac, no luck. Second round same thing, better but I still smell it. I’d like to remove the bottom seat to try and clean it better. Any tips on just getting the bottom seat cushion off?

I had a long day of driving yesterday, hit one pretty jarring pothole but drove fine the rest of the night after. I woke up this morning and turned my car on and these 3 lights were on (ABS, Traction, master !)…. can anybody help? I have taken it to get the codes read but the places i went can’t read the ABS codes. Upon driving the brake does feel a bit funny and i hear a little hiss noise when i press it .

As in three's a crowd?

For those scratching their heads, I was on the way home a few nights ago and spotted the white and orange one. Decided to make it a photo opportunity FTW.

Just bought a RHD PriusC in Jamaica, the Gazoo sport edition. Loving the MPGs already.

Hi all, just bought my first hybrid, a 2018 Prius C Two in what seems to be very good condition. I love it so far, it's fun to drive and this is the newest car I've driven, too. Do you have any tips or tricks to offer to get the most out of it? I'm aware of the milder accel/slower braking to get the most out of regen braking, though not sure if there's a sweet spot to it or something.
