What Car, the biggest reviewing magazine in the UK, has just tested an '04 Prius.
Our version is slightly different eg 16inch wheels, different suspension and an EV only mode.
Quoted EU combined cycle is 65.7mpg, which in your money is about 55mpg.
Overall the car got a big thumbs up, though it costs 17,000 over here (less 1,000 back from the government powershift scheme), meaning that several diesel models with similar economy are a lot cheaper.
The EV-only mode can be switched on for engine free operation in the city, but only gives about 1.25 miles range. This seems about consistent with roughly 300Wh, or about a fifth of the entire battery capacity.
Diesel Car (another UK magazine) also reviewed it and said "With this car, Toyota have finally shown that fuel cells really work" What can we do? :roll:
