I'm actually incredibly pleased with my Prius T-spirit - it's a great car to drive with the integrated satnav,phone, engine monitor & audio + the hybrid drive especially when I'm forced to crawl through London at 5 miles an hour, I regularly get around 50 m.p.g even when I'm doing that - while on a long motorway cruise it easily gets 55 mpg even in winter..and besides the high price of gas in the UK mine is a company provided car which I have to pay tax on - most drivers for an equivalently priced car would be paying at least $6000 a year in tax based on CO2 emissions - because of the low Prius emissions I only pay about $2000 - so I'm twice as happy
