Comparison Test: 2012 Toyota Yaris Vs. 2012 Toyota Prius c

[tooter]

"That means you could recoup the extra cost of the Prius c in about 10 years."

A stick shift Yaris would add another $1000 to the price difference the Prius would need to recoup, and the increased fuel economy of a Yaris manual transmission would add even more years to the break even point. And by the break even point you would need to buy a new $1,200 main battery.

Prius C= Fail.
