Toyota Prius T Spirit 2007

I bought this car less than two years ago. I recently decided to ask how much I could expect for a part exchange to the new model (main Toyota dealer). My loss over 18 months was £10000. My car had 12000 miles from new. If this is Toyota then for me its thank you but no thank you.

Toyota Prius T4 2007

This is not a drivers car, but with today’s traffic that’s not important. It’s a very relaxing car to drive in the rush hour, good sound system, and quiet. Economy depends on length of journeys, the weather, whether it is very hilly, and obviously speed. On my daily commute I get 60mpg in summer, 55 in winter. I’ve never averaged below 50 on a tank, even with motorways.

Toyota Prius T4 2009

I rented one of these cars for a weekend. It is so different from the norm that a 30 minute test drive proves nothing. This is not a driver’s car - if you want feel and dynamic handling then look elsewhere. For fuel economy though it is pretty good. I averaged 53mpg on a mix of driving. Round town averaged about 57 (though very thirsty on a cold engine). Motorway MPG is a very disappointing 40. I think the acceleration is deceptive - because it is so smooth and there is no link between road speed and engine revs you are accelerating much quicker than you realise. I enjoyed our weekend together and the car has a lot of good points but I don’t think I will be buying one.

Gets much worse fuel economy than other diesel variants available with a quarter of the power. Also, on electric its much easier to hear people yelling out "fag" as you drive through towns. All in all its not green in the least.

Toyota Prius 2005

Absolutely the worst handling car I’ve ever driven, it is ugly, the steering has no feel and the economy is no match for many other cars, it is also too big around town and uneconomical out of town. I am looking for something that I can drive around town and out into the country, also for trips around Europe, forget the Prius, the best cars seem to be The VW Polo Bluemotion or Seat equivalent, which is cheaper than the VW and both much cheaper than the Prius, or the Mini Cooper diesel, also the Citroen C3 is very nice, there are also other cars like Renault and Fiat, the only one I wont consider is the awful, expensive and not very economical Prius.

Toyota Prius T3 2006

This car looks great in black with the leather trim. the T4 and T spirit options aren’t really necessary. Its great to drive, totally reliable and gives you a good feeling to drive. Dont expect to average more than 46mpg.

Toyota Prius 1.5 T4 Auto (Hybrid) 2007

I can’t speak highly enough about the Prius. I have always been green-minded but the small electric type cars were just not something that I could drive. When the Prius cam along it gave me exactly what I was looking for - good looking, fuel economy to die for. This performs just like a normal car and the use of batteries is really not a hardship. This is the perfect answer to the issues that I had about driving 30 miles to work every day. I save money and help save the planet - a good days work in my opinion!

Toyota Prius 1.5 T4 2007

Wouldn’t drive anything else just right now, nothing yet in the market compares to the space and peformance of the Prius whilst maintaining the same level of fuel economy and low road tax. A top buy.

Toyota Prius

It looks good and is extremely economical. I like to be as green minded as I possibly can and this did factor is my choice of car. It was not the cheapest car to buy but I'd imagine that the prices will come down in the future. A stylish and economical drive.
