Hippyshopper reviews: the Toyota Prius
Jeremy Clarkson hated it, the Green Car Guide loved it - Toyota's hybrid electric car is top of the list when it comes to finding a green car. With only £15 road tax a year and no congestion charge Toyota claim it will save you fortunes on fuel and save the world with its low CO2 emissions. Watch our 'Hippy Gear' video review to find out if the Toyota Prius is the answer to our green motoring dreams.
















The point this film misses about the Prius is that it encourages you to drive more economically, by showing you the effect of putting your foot down unnecessarily. I have had mine for three years now, and my fuel economy has gradually improved. I now easily get 55mpg on an average tank, because I have learned how to get the most out of the engine with the minimum of fuel.
