Excellent car. Perfect size for her. The Camry is too big, as is the Rav 4.

It is perfect gas mileage and size for us as both of us travel over one hour to work six days a week. We are saddened to hear Toyota decided to discontinue the model. The Prius C's we own have made us fans of the Toyota brand.
