Toyota Prius T-Spirit

June 17th, 2009

The third-generation Toyota Prius T-Spirit has had a great write up in The Times Online.

Previously seen as being a bit boring, the new Prius is now more powerful, less thirsty and more environmentally considerate yet with the basic concept being unchanged. Autocar.co.uk are saying that the Toyota Prius is ‘the world’s best-selling hyrbid’ with good reason. It corners well, has had its power steering retuned, 6mm more headroom due and even soft-touch finishes for the dash and door tops.

If you live in London having a car with a hybrid engine means you will be exempt from the congestion charge, saving up to £1,250 a year. Owning a Toyota Prius whilst living in London means you can drive around not worrying skirting around the outskirts of the city. It is also apparently one of the least expensive cars to maintain.

The only downsize I can see to the Toyota Prius is the price. Starting from £21,210 it puts the car out of reach for many families.
