Toyota Prius review

Think 94.1mpg is vaporware? Drive one of these through a typical British city then think again. It’s not thoughtless economy, mind – you need to concentrate, anticipate, drive to the Prius’s strengths, feathering the throttle and keeping an eye on the attractive graphics detents for when fossil fuels will cut in, ruining your average. Oh, and beware the entry-level trim level – it gets plenty of kit, but bizarrely wears lower rent cabin plastics as a cost-cutting measure. Weird: there was us thinking eco hairshirts were a thing of the past.
