“The Toyota Prius is an intriguing alternative to diesel-engined family cars, being well built, comfortable, spacious and extremely tax-efficient. It’s also imaginatively styled, comes with loads of safety kit and, despite some cheap-looking plastics, feels like it is built to last forever and a day.”

“However rounded, refined and clever it has become, the Toyota Prius still makes you feel unworthy of it for wanting a car that appeals to heart as well as mind – and we regret that. Although compelling, it still could never be for us.”

“Aside from impressive eco numbers that will make it a massive company car hit, the big news here is how much more appealing the new Toyota Prius is to those who don’t begrudge putting fuel in our cars or lie awake fretting about the melting ice caps.”

“The Toyota Prius definitely wins at low-cost motoring and is certainly a competitor in this ever-changing market. And if you can afford it, we recommend forking out for the plug-in version and can charge it regularly, do it – you’ll see savings in the long term.

“Look past the Prius’ alien styling and it’s a reasonably roomy family car that’ll cost pennies to run. Unfortunately, some desirable options aren’t standard”

“It’s still one of the most practical hybrids on the market, with a boot more than capable of coping with a fortnightly food shop. But the fact it is now so enjoyable to drive may come as a surprise – and it’s that crucial element which Toyota is hoping will win over a whole new generation of motorists.”

“There is a point in a four-wheel-drive Toyota Prius if you live somewhere you need traction or it snows a lot – but otherwise it’s pointless.”

“The new Toyota Prius is still the definitive hybrid. You don’t need to plug it in, and it rewards with high levels of efficiency – if driven carefully. It’s perfectly pleasant to drive, if you’re not expecting the characteristics of a driver’s car. It’s also practical, with five seats and a big boot.”

If you want to glide around effortlessly without using too much fuel, there are few better ways to go about it.”

“The Toyota Prius is all about fuel economy and low emissions and, like it or not, that comes with a very singular image. This innately comes with a stigma, that people who buy the Prius aren’t interested in cars or driving and are instead green activist bores.”

“The Toyota Prius is a highly cost-effective choice for both private and company car drivers. We like it for its decent ride and handling, good interior space and impressively low running CO2 emissions. It makes for a fine family car, even if you may need an ‘I’m not a Uber’ sticker on the back of it.”
