The 2012 Toyota Prius c achieves a superb EPA fuel economy rating of 53/46 mpg city/highway. However, beyond that, reviewers found little to love about the Prius c’s four-cylinder gas engine and electric motor, which are paired with a continuously variable transmission. Several reviewers noted very slow acceleration, and one mentioned that it is difficult to maintain speed going up steep hills. Still, others said the Prius c has adequate power for city and freeway driving. Some critics wrote that the Prius c handles adequately, and noted that the C4 model has a quicker steering ratio, which makes the Prius c a bit more entertaining to drive. One reviewer also said the regenerative brakes don’t feel as spongy as those found on other hybrids.
