Toyota Prius 1.8 Review: Green-minded
A hybrid is boring and lifeless, you say? You might want to hold that thought - Toyota introduces their latest Prius hybrid, and shows us a thing or two how the future of green motoring will be like. And yes, the word "boring" is excluded here...
What we like:
Extra oomph from the 1.8-liter engine- switches between petrol and electric power very smoothly
- increased fuel-efficiency and decreased C02 emissions.
What we dislike:
Annoying brakes- lackluster cabin
- rear visibility obscured by the awkwardly-placed spoiler.
Owing to its somewhat better looks, the new Prius definitely has more appeal towards the car buying public at large. It's no longer just the car for environmentally conscious folks.
It builds upon the strengths of its predecessors. It's more advanced. It manages to be more quiet, refined and powerful, and at the same time, more fuel-efficient too.
So if you do lots of driving and are serious about finding a way to cut back on your fuel bill, you need to seriously consider this car.
