    Does it deliver?
    In a word, yes. The combined consumption figure is 80.7mpg and with two blokes in the car we managed a best over one route of 78.5mpg, which is a lot closer than you can get to official figures in some cars. The official urban figure shoots up to 91.1 mpg because of the advantage given by the hybrid drive.

    CO2 is 79g/km combined on the 15-inch wheel and 85g/km on the 16-inch wheel available on the upper two trim levels. Prices start at £14,995 for the base model rising to £16,995 for the T Spirit. Best seller should be the £15,895, T4.

    Do we like it?
    It’s hard not to. Although the wailing CVT power delivery is a real thrill-killer as always, the Yaris Hybrid is such a clever package and promises genuinely frugal motoring. It doesn’t deliver the raw driving pleasure that other conventional cars might but it’s roomy and relaxing to drive and is the ideal urban commuter or second car. Perhaps best of all, it’s a hybrid that doesn’t look weird.

    How does it compare to the Jazz pricewise, etc?

    I like the look of this new Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost

    Dare I say it...but I think it looks quite nice in that colour/spec!!

    As for the focus. I want that ecoboost 1.0 engine in a fiesta, thatd be a seriously fun car imo!

    I thought Ford weren't putting the Ecoboost engine into the Fiesta for another while?

    As for the pricing, well this car is supposed to be cheaper than the Jazz hybrid (is that car on sale in Ireland?) in the UK but one wonders will Toyota Ireland bother bringing it in here?
