 I bought my 2013 Prius C two new over 3 years ago. So far it's not been to the dealership for anything than oil changes/tire rotations/scheduled maintenance.  Although I did wear out one set of tires & just had 100K mile service completed (drain/fill coolants).  It gets great gas mileage 52-54 mpg summer - high 40's in winter.   I don't baby it too much... & I drive 50+ miles to work each way on a state hwy (60 MPH posted speed limit) thru lots of rural villages (slow down or stop in them).   I love the fold down rear seats, because I can haul quite a lot.   It holds four adults reasonably comfortably (maybe 200 miles tops).  The interior finishes aren't made from top end materials,  but its a commuter vehicle, not a luxury car.   I'll likely buy another in a few years when this ones tops 200K+.    It might not be an exciting or overly fun/sporty car to drive - but it has plenty of electronics that make you more conscious of your energy usage & engages to want to play the energy savings game as you drive.
