Toyota Prius (2004-) Review

Category: Small Family 4 out of 5

Summary of the Toyota Prius (2004-)

Price Range: £18,370 to £22,130

Assets

Low emissions, fuel economy, low running costs, eco-friendly image, well-equipped, roomy cabin.

Drawbacks

Advanced technology still not that well-proven, complex controls, CVT transmission only.

Verdict

May be too much of a leap of faith for some as yet, but this is the (not too distant) future of family motoring.
