I have been driving the new prius for 9 months here what i think.. my previous cabs.. pug 406..mondeo.. TX4.. Pug partner auto WAV..
i shall be honest.. i am not in the prius fan club.. longs i earn my money.. and it makes my drive easier.. i am happy
LOOKS- ulgy looking thing from the back, looks nice from the front bit like my missis..
DRIVE - I work PH in a bristol, drives nice.. great city cab..The gearbox feels good cant even notice a change. dont even feel like i have done a shift in it.. sod manuals in a city.. really nice comfortable drive.. nice seating position.. its a nippy car doesnt drive like a MILK FLOAT... plenty of room for a mid range cab.
The driver aids on it are pretty could.. Brake assist does the job.. sees the car in front sudden braking and warns you to brake if you dont brake..it will brake for you.. and it works a treat
Price i got the same price as cabdirect.. got it from the dealer they matched it with 3 services included..
MpG 60-70mpretty good.. even feels good bogged down in slow traffic..no engine running
It comes into its own in traffic.. on a 8-10hr day shift the the car is running in electric 50/60 percent of the shift.. wear and tare and the engine is halved compared to a standard diesel..
Anyway i am happy with it does the job.. Diesel are on the way out... well they are in bristol.. any new PH or hack plated after april 2018 will have to be hybrid/ultra low emmissions.. ALL DIESEL will be Banned from the city..
