It has very good fuel consumption, it's about 750km for 31.5 liter (RON95), comfortable seating, powerful ( above my expectation on "hybrid power"), solid assembly, stable even up to 160km/h. My best FC per trip so far, 30.2km/l. The maximum i heard PC can go is 985km so far.
I tried to turn off the ECO mode, definitely it very powerful, slightly impact on the fuel consumption (like 700km for 33.5 liter RON95).
According to my brother in law, he claim the interior assembly is better than Althis ( assembly in Thailand ).

I mange to get RM1k discount from my SA friend and a full tank of fuel. Then i just get EC Tint (heard that can compare with VCool) from him which cost me another RM800. Maximum discount i heard was RM9k.

These information may be informative to you. Are you wondering what if your PC finished petrol, what will happen to it? Not moving or only running with the battery. This is what i got from lowyat forum.
when pc out of petrol, the battery will still work, until the battery left 2 bars, your car will show "power on" means the car in accessories mode. that moment when i pressed the pedal but the car no longer got power, it only can drive slow with the battery support. lucky the petrol station just 500meter away from my stop points. i switch on my emergency light, and i notice i cannot lock my car.... it need me to total switch off the car in order to lock it. for safety reason, i have to let the car unlock and walk to the petrol station.

The Prius C is an excellent car for city driving because it practically just sips through the gas tank for fuel. That’s because it’s a hybrid car, which means it makes use of both a conventional gas-powered engine and an electric motor for propulsion. Toyota also incorporated some nifty features into the Prius, including regenerative breaking. That means the batteries that power the electric motor actually get recharged when you use the brakes to slow down the vehicle. Smart, right?
