AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments regarding the Toyota Prius c TRD Sportivo highlight its high price, with many feeling it is overpriced for its size and features, especially with bodykits that seem unnecessary given its eco focus. Some mention that the car's plastic feel inside and ugly design are drawbacks, while others condemn the price as excessive compared to comparable models like the Honda Jazz Hybrid or locally assembled cars. The bodykit is viewed as an unaesthetic add-on that contradicts the car's environmental purpose. Several comments criticize UMW for overpricing and profiting excessively, with opinions that the hybrid’s resale value and cost of maintenance, especially battery replacement, are concerns. Overall, sentiments lean toward disappointment over its value proposition and design, with many questioning the need for such an expensive hybrid family hatchback.
