This guy is full of it. We have a prius and its great. its alot kinder to the environment compared to everything else on the road. And whats he on about it being slow, we hit the pedal to the floor and its quick compared to 1.6L engine that i have. Plus it the tax is like £35 for a year. With the auto parking sencors and stuff like that you would pay extra it doesnt come standard therefore if you dont want it you can save more dosh. We have the sensors but not the camera on the back. The great thing is too is that breaking also charges the battery up along with settings off. I dunno about this guy on this vid but we can go about 30mph before the engine fires up. Again its silent until the engine kicks in so you have to keep an eye out for those dopy pedestrians at tesco car park....

That automatic parking is scary stuff. I'd prefer automatic "drive me home when I'm wasted" feature.

As the guy says, the Prius is a step in the right direction. Have to argue on the styling though - I really like the Prius design (it's a step up from my Mondeo).
