Is anybody running a Prius? ... Or does anyone have any opinions on them for PH?

I'm not thinking of getting one anytime soon, but a few have appeared in our area lately and apparently they're the best thing since sliced bread! I'll wait and see if drivers are still saying that in a year or two's time...

There quite pricey and they don't get good mpg compared to the present diesel engines

theres a £5000 grant/subsidy on the Ampera


Quote:
The Ampera’s status as a fully fledged electric vehicle also ensures that its buyers will benefit from a healthy £5000 government subsidy (which trims our test subject’s sticker to a more manageable £33,995). And, with just 27g/km of CO2 emissions, there’s no road tax to pay, of course.
