    Hi all,
    My wife recently got a Toyota Corolla Hybrid & after driving it for an hour then going back to my gas guzzler Mitsubishi 4x4 & seeing 14 litres per 100 even when trying hard to drive economically I just had to join the party, but as cheap as possible! Thus I have just found a late 2009 (v3 I believe) Prius I-Tech with 189,000kms & now looking forward to a cheaper commute, & I must say I’m surprised at the tech on a car that is now 10 years old which is still cool on the new Corolla hybrid like radar cruise control heck I even trump the Corolla with my HUD & parking assist!

    congrats and welcome!

    agreed, toyota pretty much peaked out their hybrid tech in 2004, and hasn't added much since. probably due to cost.

    all the best!(y)
