Prius is lovely, but not sure it will last more than 100,000.

Why seven and not eight?

There's 3-4 Prius' around here, all getting on a bit now. Seem to be going OK still.

I had a Toyota Auris hybrid for 2 years, a nice reliable car but didn't match the mpg of a Skoda diesel. You may get decent mpg on a hybrid on town work, no good for rural work.

Cheers for repliys I know a driver that has got the standard 5 seater, he swears by it but he's not had it long so don't know how long it will last.
