Name: Kevin Location: Surrey Date of Review: Jul 09
I've had my Prius from new in 2006 and coming up to three years and
25000 miles. I am still not overly keen on the looks (but what true
petrol head would be??) and it's no drivers car, but as practical day
to day transport that takes me into central London each day its truly
hard to beat. Even though I rarely get over 45mpg (no doubt due to the
fact that I am often in a hurry and can't spare the horses), it's
still good return given I spend so much time in traffic.
The car is comfortable and very easy to drive and frankly has all the
mod cons so very easy to live with except on long motorway runs when I
can really do with more grunt especially if I am fully loaded with
people and their "stuff".
In any case I traded in my Audi A4 for this, and as much as it grieves
me to admit it I think I will be looking past an Audi, BMW or Merc and
going back for the new model when it comes out next month to replace
this one!
So I guess I have been sold on the car and let's face it the new one
does look slightly better proportioned and a bit more aesthetically
pleasing; so hopefully it will address the few shortfalls and
criticisms I have of the current model.
If you thinking about it and you come into a central London a lot...
think no more and buy one. If you don't have to come into central
London/town buy a diesel Audi or BMW and you can offset the slightly
weaker fuel economy for the far greater driving experience!!
