    I was just wondering what are your opinions on Toyota Prius+ and if someone had experience of driving it?

    Your posts will be really appreciated!

    I think a lot of people will tell you that the prius is now outdated and you're better off getting petrol car which are now just as efficient or nissan leaf for city driving etc..

    You're kidding right? Just as efficient eh no. Current model comfortably does 4.0l / 100km, doubt there's many other petrol cars will do that. Leaf is (almost) useless unless you buy a second car to drive any distance!

    Standard current version of Prius would be rather 5-6 l /100km in regular use, you need to really adjust driving to get better results.

    From the telegraph:

    What’s disappointing is the sheer flimsiness of some of the trim panels on the facia, the door trims and seat catches. You can see not just where weight saving has been done, but cost saving as well.

    Occasionally, yes ( or at least that's what wife is insisting on ).

    Prius chat.com has a section on the plus but with an American flavour.
