pure
city driving it is unbeatable. Then to drive it, is the best - seamless

Average driving for me is a mix of motorway and urban, it is for most
people.


Most people do not go on motorways much at all. And as you have ignored,
the new Prius does 60mpg mixed highway and urban (US test). More in 80-90%
urban, as most people do.

The cars also does not pollute like a crap diesel. And the ride is
unrivalled. It is wroth buying for the ride alone. But you like tractors
that may cost fortune to fix when the complex bits fail. £800 to change a
clutch!! The Prius doesn't have one and not even and in-line gearbox
either. The new Chevy Volt will no mechanical transmission whatsoever.

Stop telling yourself lies and believing them.
