Lord

Hall, that was a load of bollox - what do expect from the Torygraph.
Mine does 55 to 60 mpg and the emissions in town is brill. To drive they are
a dream. Everything else after is agricultural.


"...the unbearable smugness of some Toyota Prius owners presents a
tempting target. Quick to point the finger at others, some use their
Prius as public proof of a caring and moral "lifestyle" and put the
moan into sanctimonious..."


What a load of bollox - they are sneering socially responsible people
too. I got a Prius because it is superb to drive, silent most of the
time and seamless in progression with no gear steps, and economical to
run in fuel, service, and no congestion charge, great longevity (topped
the JD Power surveys in the US and the UK) and big inside too. When I
get into other cars it is like a flashback in time as they are so
outdated inside.


Yes, but you're gullible to marketing bumph. An ideal customer for
this product.
