MPG heavily dependent on velocity

2014 Toyota Prius c One 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I bought my Prius C a couple years ago. It is a generally well-built car, but it is pretty slow to accelerate and is rather loud when the accelerator is pressed. Perhaps most importantly, it MPG is heavily dependent on the speed at which you travel. I mainly drive on the highway and if I drive 75-80 mph, I noticed that I only averaged about 40 mpg whereas if I drove 55-60 mph, I seem to have gotten over 50 mph. I don't know how the reviewer on this site stated that he is getting 64 mpg. He must be driving REALLY conservatively on the hwy.
Far better then I thought.

I got the Pricus C 3 for 1 reason, the advertised MPG. I have an 80 mile round trip commute that consist of 85% highway driving and was tired of filling my SUV up every 3 days for $55+ each time. I now average 64MPG each way and fill up every 6 days for $25. I'm totally blowed away with the amount of money I'm saving. There are loads of YouTube videos that show how to drive a Prius, I highly recommend them if you do buy a Prius. As for the car itself I find the seats to be very comfortable, the build materials are fine after all it is an inexpensive car. The 3 level has some cool features like push button start, doors unlock when they detect the key, and touch screen with navigation.
Though basic, small and no frills its worth having

Great commuter car. Not much storage space. Ok comfortwise, but fabulous in gas mileage. It does depend on how you drive it what MPG you'll get. Surprisingly zippy for a economy car. People are always surprised when I pass them, especially on hills. Braking system takes a little getting used to. It doesn't feel like any other car I've driven. Super reliable. I've had mine for 2 and a half years. It was a rental car before I bought it used at about 47K miles. I now have just over 100K on it. Check engine light only ever came on once, about a year ago. Some kind of sensor went bad but I don't recall what it was. I could still drive it normally but I didn't want to put off fixing, just in case. $200 repair, no biggie. Other than that its all been regular maintenance. I'm selling it now because I need more space but boy am I ever going to miss that gas mileage!

2014 Toyota Prius c Two 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

We are previous owners of the regular Prius lift back. When it came to get another Prius the C caught our eye. The interior was comfortable for a small car and we got a good deal. Around town the car is great. It's nimble and fun. Also it's very easy to park. Breaks are responsive as well. On the highway however, the car struggles mightily. It's difficult to pass or accelerate uphill without flooring it. Everything else is fine. The seats are comfy, the car looks good inside and out, mileage can't be beat, and the handling is enjoyable. An upgraded infotainment system would be nice. If you do mostly city driving it's a great little runabout.
